Supporting Clients in Tennessee, Georgia, + Florida.

Welcome!

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider, Registered Play Therapist™, and Approved Clinical Supervisor with 8 years of experience working with women, children, and teens throughout the Nashville, Tennessee area. I hold a masters degree in Human Development Counseling from Vanderbilt University.

I believe that therapy is a basic human right and should be accessible to everyone. I desire to support people in understanding familial, environmental, and systemic influences that can impact the lens through which they see themselves. I’m grounded in a person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approach, creating spaces in which clients feel safe and comfortable to show up as they are. I utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, Play Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, measurement-based care and elements of Reality Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

My Services + Populations I Support

Children (Ages 7-12)

I utilize a combination of child-centered play therapy and directive approaches to empower children to process big feelings through play while also utilizing activities and games to build coping skills. I partner and collaborate with parents throughout the entire therapy process through check ins before and after sessions and in parent-only sessions. I provide parenting feedback to help integrate therapy resourcing at home.

Teens (Ages 13-17)

I utilize a combination of child-centered play therapy and directive approaches to empower children to process big feelings through play while also utilizing activities and games to build coping skills. I partner and collaborate with parents throughout the entire therapy process through check ins before and after sessions and in parent-only sessions. I provide parenting feedback to help integrate therapy resourcing at home.

Adults (18+)

I work with adults who experience anxiety, depression, OCD, family/relationship conflict, and trauma by making space to identify sources behind unhelpful patterns and providing skills and strategies to make adjustments that better meet their needs and goals.

Who am I?

Outside of being a therapist, you may find me engaging in a variety of crafts (sewing, embroidery, and knitting), spending time outdoors, and traveling.

Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions
What services do you offer?

I offer individual outpatient therapy for children, teens, and adults, 7+. I do not provide couples or family therapy, but I have some wonderful colleagues to whom I can refer you if you are ever in need of that support!

What kind of clients do you work with?

My primary focus and demographic is supporting children, teens, and women experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, and relational trauma.

Do you have an office space for sessions?

Yes! I have in-person office space for Nashville-based clients in the Music Row area. I have weekly availability on Mondays and Fridays, and this space is ideal for those interested in play therapy.

Pricing & Payment
What are your session rates?

My self-pay rate for a 60 min session is $140. I am panelled with several in-network insurance providers in Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida, and can offer a sliding scale as well.

Do you charge a late cancellation/no-show rate?

To cancel a session, doing so more than 24 hours in advance of the appointment is ideal to avoid a late cancellation fee. If sessions are canceled within 24 hours of the appointment, and we are unable to find an alternative time to reschedule within the same week, a $75 fee will be charged to the card on file. The no show (not attending within 10 minutes of start time without communication) rate is also $75. 

What payment methods do you accept?

I accept all major credit cards and a select number of insurances. Billing occurs within various platforms.

Technical Support
How do I get rescheduled?

There are several options to reschedule:

  • You can reschedule yourself within your Headway portal.
  • You can email me to find an alternative time. 
  • You can call or text me to find an alternative time.
What if I have issues getting connected to my telehealth appointment?

Tech issues happen! If these occur, send me an email, call, or text, and I will send an alternative link.

What if I have a crisis?

Your safety is important to me. I do not provide crisis management services, so if you are having an emergent mental health crisis, are having suicidal thoughts, or are in need of immediate care, please call 911, go to your nearest emergency services facility, or call/text 988.
