FAQs

My office is in west Little Rock, Arkansas.

I currently offer individual sessions to adults regardless of race, color, creed, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, health status, age, physical or mental ability. I am committed to providing a safe environment of care that affirms the dignity, worth and value of all people.

While I prefer in-person sessions, I do virtual sessions as needed. The option for tele-therapy is very convenient when you have a sick child, car trouble, or other life circumstances that prevent coming in person. Due to state licensing requirements, I can only do virtual sessions with people in the state of Arkansas. We use a secure HIPAA platform (Simple Practice) to conduct these video sessions which you can access on your computer, tablet, or phone.

I take Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Ambetter insurance. I do not take federal BCBS. If you have questions about whether your insurance will cover your therapy sessions, please contact your insurer before meeting with me. Some questions you may wish to ask include:

• Do I have a deductible I need to meet before insurance pays for my session?

• How many sessions per year does my insurance cover?

• Is there a co-pay? How much is my co-pay?

My rate is $200 for a 50 minute session.

Most sessions are 50 minutes. When starting therapy, it is often helpful to meet weekly in order to develop new skills and habits. That said, sometimes scheduling, finances, or therapy needs require less frequency. During our first session, we will establish a plan that best meets your needs.

I see clients between 10AM and 5PM Monday through Wednesday and 9AM-3PM on Fridays.

If a session is canceled less than 24 hours in advance, a late fee will be charged. I do not charge a late fee for medical emergencies.

My credentials do not permit me to prescribe medication. Only individuals with a medical degree such as a psychiatrist, medical doctor, or APRN are permitted to prescribe medication.

I received my Master of Social Work from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2008 and completed the first level of testing to be an LMSW or Licensed Master of Social Work. After two years of supervision and another credentialing exam, I became an LCSW or Licensed Certified Social Worker. Social workers account for approximately 60% of mental health care workers in the United States. Clinical social workers assess, diagnose, collaboratively create treatment plans based on clients’ goals, provide therapy, and even advocate for social justice.
