Frequently asked questions
Got questions? I’ve got answers.
-
I am an online therapist serving clients in Tennessee, California, and Colorado. Currently I live in Franklin, TN
-
Online therapy works similarly to traditional therapy but is conducted through digital platforms such as video calls or phone calls. Before your session, you'll receive instructions on how to access my client portal for paperless client intake forms and to join the session. Make sure you have a stable internet connection and a quiet, private space for your session. Bring any comforts you desire such as a cup of tea, a pet, and a cozy place to sit. No commute before or after means more more time to integrate the value of the session.
-
Currently I can book space, as needed, at the Sapphire Suite in Franklin, TN close to the communities of Nashville and Brentwood. If this is a strong preference for you, let’s chat!
-
My session fees are $250 for a 50 min session for individual clients. Couples sessions are $300 for a 50 min session.
-
I am currently a private-pay, out-of-network provider. While I don't accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you have the option to only pay your co-insurance for our sessions, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This can save you on average 70% upfront on our sessions. During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your co-insurance would be.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your mental health care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.
Therapy with me is…
A deeply curious conversation that is designed for you to increase insight along the way
Challenging at times because we learn to hold the emotions that we most want to bottle up
Tailored to YOU. We start with what your nervous system can handle and gauge the pace together.
Funny and fun at times. We can laugh, in fact it will be better that way. We can also be sad together
Is a chance to meet the emotion of anger. I don’t believe anyone who tells me “they aren’t an angry person.” You just don’t know how to allow it yet.
Is a chance to grow for real. I’m nice, but that’s not the point of therapy. If you wanted to talk to someone nice you can do it with a friend or a neighbor.
Therapy with me is not…
Just a place to vent. Our work would be more intentional than that.
A place to intellectualize away all your feelings. We might start there but I will challenge you to start feeling.
A casual commitment. I work with clients who can set up a consistent schedule even if that means we choose longer, less frequent sessions or even explore an intensive model.
For crisis situations. My work right now is focused on those wanting depth and growth and have generally stable life circumstances.
For the faint of heart. My clients are typically brave and courageous and ready to explore.
A place to practice your people pleasing skills. I can sense it because I know the craft first-hand and we will work to find the truth together.
