hi there!

With a background in physical therapy, I am interested in holistic healing and how our minds and bodies carry and process our past life experiences. After years of helping people in physical pain and/or distress, I am intrigued by God’s design of the human body and its resiliency. I enjoy collaborating with clients who are searching for freedom and joy in life despite the stress and struggles we face on Earth. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you navigate living with past trauma or current emotional or relational struggles.

scheduling

I do all of my own scheduling. I have a variety of times available throughout the week. The quickest and easiest way get an appointment with me is to schedule online. You'll be able to see my available slots and grab one for yourself, as well as leave me personal note if you wish. If the online scheduler is giving you trouble, or if you think there is something we need to discuss before you schedule, feel free to text, call or email.  My office is located in the Southern Saddlery Building at 3069 Broad St. 

payment

Sessions are $110 and last 50 minutes. See pricing and location in the main menu for other related costs.  I accept cash, checks, debit cards, credit cards and health savings account cards. I do not participate in any insurance networks and as a pre-licensed professional I am not yet able to offer diagnostic receipts for reimbursement.

Intake forms

Take a look at the 6 documents below. (#3 and #5 are long, complex documents required by the Federal Government. I'll put them into laymen's terms for you at the office.  You've likely seen similar documents from other healthcare providers.)   
  • ​Fill out #1 and email to me - or complete at the office.
  • Read #2, #3, and #4 ahead of time (sign electronically at the office - no need to print these out)
  • If you need me to speak with a 3rd party - fill out and email #6 to me - or fill out at the office.
