A consultation is a 15 minute phone conversation where I ask a few questions about what is bringing you to therapy and your hopes/goals for the process. This helps me assess whether I’d be best suited to help you and whether you’d be a good fit for the structure of my practice. This also allows you to get a sense of my personality, style, and ask any questions you may have.

We will also briefly review logistics like scheduling, insurance and payment questions, and practice policies. If at the end of the call we determine you’d be better served by a different professional, I will assist in offering some recommendations.

My approach to therapy prioritizes depth over quick-fixes, therefore I prefer to work with clients who are committed to attending regularly for at least 4-6 months once we have determined we are a good fit. Effective therapy related to disordered eating, body image, and trauma is often longer-term. Many of my clients will work with me for longer, depending on the nature of our work and their personal goals.

However, if you've met your therapy goals much sooner, that's great! We would then discuss what frequency of meetings works best for you.

I do not work from a religious perspective. However, I am welcoming of any spiritual beliefs that matter to you and will gladly support you in incorporating those resources into our work if they are helpful to you. I regularly work with clients who do not have religious beliefs.

As long as you don’t mind if I join you.

As a psychologist, I cannot prescribe medication, however I often coordinate care with psychiatrists and other health professionals who do prescribe medication. I provide a list of prescribers I trust if you do not have one.

Medication is a personal decision and I honor your boundaries when it comes to deciding whether to include medication in your treatment or not. But I will always defer those conversations to the specially trained medical professionals who can help you explore pros and cons.

I presently have a “hybrid” practice which means I have some appointments available in-office and some appointment slots that are only available via telehealth. My office is located in the Carriage Lane office park in West Ashley.
