You can access my phone consultation scheduling program by using the BOOK CONSULTATION button and signing up for a time slot. I will call you at our scheduled time.

An intake is our initial appointment where I gather information about you, your background and what you are hoping to gain from being in therapy. At this time I will explain more about the services I provide, how confidentiality works and what you can expect from therapy. We will also be filling out paperwork.

According to the American Psychology Association, on average people feel they are doing better in between 15-20 sessions, although depending on what someone is coming to therapy for it can be less or more. Discussion of how long therapy will be is part of treatment and should be a collaborative decision.

Please note that I check my messages at the end of the day and return calls within 24 hours. I typically do not work on weekends or holidays, and return messages left on the weekends on the next business day.

No, I do not prescribe medication. If, after working together, we decide that medication might be appropriate, I can assist you in finding a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner to address the suitability of medication for your situation and circumstances. With your permission, I can also collaborate with your prescriber or other health professionals on your treatment.

If you are unable to make it to a session, you must cancel at least 24 hours in advance by calling and leaving me a voice message. If you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, you will be responsible for a $100 cancellation fee.

I live in beautiful North Carolina, where I am raising three sons, and sharing my life with my husband and two dogs. There are many things I enjoy doing outside of work such as cooking, streaming tv shows, walking outdoors, volunteering, and entertaining in my home. It is my passion to travel the world, and I try to see as much public street art as I can. I absolutely love both commissioned works of art and graffiti art and fully embrace the concept of free art beautifying the lives of everyone.
