About Me.
I care deeply about the collaborative nature of therapy and the importance of advocacy and I see it as a great privilege to bear witness to another person’s story.
Before starting my own practice, I worked at a Nashville Counseling center for women and girls. Before that I worked at The Women's Initiative in Charlottesville, a nonprofit organization that provides mental health services to adult women in need.
I have a bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Religious Studies from Vanderbilt University and then continued my education at Wake Forest University where I earned my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
I am a Nashville native who spent a handful of years living in Charlottesville, Virginia. In Charlottesville, I worked with a student organization at the University of Virginia that provided me with the opportunity to serve as a resource for undergraduate women as they navigate mental health challenges. The courageous vulnerability of these women inspired me, and ultimately shaped my path as a helping professional.
A modern approach
I work with individuals and groups experiencing anxiety, depression, family concerns, maternal mental health challenges, parenting challenges, grief and loss, trauma, relationship challenges, existential concerns, and life transitions. I have an eclectic theoretical approach, with particular leanings toward person-centered theory, internal family systems, mindfulness techniques, existentialism approaches, narrative theory, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am trained in (and deeply inspired by) EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which is used to treat trauma of all types.
Qualifications
I have been practicing for over 4 years.
I attended Wake Forest University, Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and graduated in 2021.

Do I take Insurance?
Good faith estimate.
In order to provide comprehensive care for my clients, I do not accept insurance. I am out of network with all insurance companies; however, I encourage you to contact your insurance provider to discover what they may reimburse you for therapy.
As of January 1, 2022, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
— You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
— Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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.
