FAQS

I offer both in-person and virtual sessions. My office is located at 3250 Dickerson Pike #203, Nashville, TN 37207. Virtual sessions are available to clients located anywhere in Tennessee.

Yes. I am deeply committed to providing LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy. I provide a celebratory and anti-oppressive space for individuals across the full spectrum of sexual orientations, gender identities, and relationship structures. Whether you are seeking therapy for issues specific to the LGBTQIA+ community or for general mental health support (like anxiety or trauma), I am dedicated to walking alongside you in your authentic self-exploration!

Regretfully, no. While attempts have been made to modify the physical building, my office is located on the second floor, and there is no elevator available. I deeply apologize for this barrier to physical accessibility.

If you are unable to safely access the office, I am very happy to provide high-quality virtual therapy so we can still work together comfortably and safely from your home. If a referral is a better option for you, I will gladly guide that process!

Standard therapy sessions are $175 for a 50-minute session. I accept debit/credit cards, HSA/FSA cards, check, and cash payments.

I believe financial barriers shouldn't prevent someone from accessing care. I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for clients who need them. If cost is a concern, I encourage you to reach out and we can talk through what's possible.

A Good Faith Estimate is a written summary of the expected cost of your care. Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive one before beginning services. It is not a bill or a guarantee — it's simply an estimate of anticipated session costs so you can make informed decisions about your care.

Under the No Surprises Act, all healthcare providers must give clients who are self-paying or uninsured a "Good Faith Estimate" of expected costs before therapy begins.

Because therapy is deeply individualized, it is impossible to predict exactly how many sessions you will need or want. I provide every new client with an estimate based on a standard, predictable baseline. This is not a contract, and it does not lock you into a set number of sessions. It simply ensures you know my standard rates so there are no surprises.

Online therapy is a convenient and flexible way to receive mental health care right from your own space. We use SimplePractice, a secure and confidential Telehealth portal, to host all of our virtual sessions. Before your scheduled appointment, you will receive a reminder with a direct link to join. All you need to participate is a private room, a reliable internet connection, and a device with a camera and microphone.

You don't have to choose between only online or only in-person sessions. Many clients work with me in a hybrid manner, utilizing Telehealth as needed for scheduling conflicts, illness, or general convenience. It is designed to seamlessly fit into your life whenever you need the extra flexibility.

I recommend weekly sessions at the start of therapy. Consistency helps build momentum, deepen the therapeutic relationship, and create conditions for real change. If your schedule or budget makes weekly sessions difficult, biweekly appointments can also be a good fit!

As you progress, it's common to naturally begin tapering. We will make that decision together based on how things are going.

It depends! The length of therapy differs based on what you're working through, your history, and your goals. Some people find meaningful relief in a shorter period of time; others are doing deeper work that unfolds over months or years. We'll check in regularly about how things are going and adjust as needed.

The therapeutic relationship is one of the most powerful agents of change in this work, so fit matters! It's completely normal to try out a few therapists before finding the right one. I generally recommend giving it two or three sessions before deciding — sometimes the first session nerves can make it hard to get a real read. That said, if something feels immediately off, trust that. If I am not the right therapist for you, I'm happy to connect you with someone who might be a better fit.
