Picture

Over the past 11 years, I have worked with a variety of challenges. I would enjoy talking with you to help guide you through your first appointment. When you can't look on the bright side, I will sit with you in the dark. Life can be difficult. Sometimes we need the help of others who have walked through difficult things themselves and have walked this journey with others. I can fill this role, and this is exactly my goal in my chosen profession.

Dealing with tough issues can be intimidating. You are not alone in your troubles and healing is not only possible, but a reality for those who are ready and willing to take the first step. You do not have to commit to anything in saying you want to try something different, simply reaching out is all that is necessary.

​If you are looking to have individual counseling for you, your child or adolescent, I hope you will contact me.. I look forward to having the opportunity to intercede on your behalf.

Chattanooga Christian School Lead Team Member for CCS Action Team. Please call or email and someone will be in touch with you soon. If this an emergency please call 911 or go to your nearest hospital.

Payment
  • A standard counseling session is 50 minutes, and the cost is $125 per session. I accept cash, checks, debit/credit cards and health savings account cards. I opted out of insurance networks years ago, but I do still participate as an "out of network" provider. This means you pay my regular fee, and I can provide you with a receipt that has all the diagnostic information necessary for you to file and possibly get a rebate from your insurance company - based on what your plan is.
