FAQ

Where is the office located?

1150 Cherry Creek Road
Meadows of Dan, VA 24120

We are in southwest Virginia, about 10 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway. It’s beautiful here!

What are your office hours?

My office hours are Monday – Thursday from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

If necessary, we can arrange for earlier or later times.

How long is a typical session?
50-55 minutes
Do you accept insurance?
I accept Anthem, Aetna, United Health Care, and Medicare. I also take private pay. For those with different insurance plans, I can provide a Superbill that you may send to your carrier for reimbursement (you will need to check with your carrier to determine your benefits, however).
How do I make an appointment?
You may call or send a message via the website, and I will respond within 24 hours.
Do you offer a free initial consultation?
Absolutely! Don’t hesitate to contact me, and I will gladly offer you a free 20-minute consultation.
With what age range do you work?
I work with adults ages 40-85.
Do you work with Men? Women?
I work with men and women.
What can I expect in the first session?
In the first session, I complete an assessment; I gather information to determine how I can best help you in therapy.
Does anyone cry in front of you?
Yes. Life is hard, and it’s okay to cry. And I am known to tear up as well, although I try to focus on you and what you always need – it’s your session.
Do you offer video or phone sessions?
I offer in-person, video, and phone sessions.
What is your educational background?
I received my bachelor’s in social work from Ferrum College and my master’s degree in social work from Radford University. I’ve been licensed in Virginia since 2013 as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
Do I have to tell you everything?

No. It’s your session, but the more I know, the more I can help. However, it sometimes takes a while before someone feels comfortable sharing sensitive information.

Do I have to lie on a couch?

No, and I do not recommend it for fear that you may go to sleep (LOL!). I have very comfortable chairs in my office and couches that you may SIT on!

Cats or Dogs?
Cats, dogs, chickens, squirrels, rabbits, deer, I love ALL critters! I live in the mountains on a farm, where I am fortunate to see wildlife frequently!
What are some fascinating things about you?

I used to work in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles. I was a page at NBC in Burbank and an administrator for the Emmy Awards Office for several years. I am married to a wonderful man, and we have a beautiful daughter whom we adopted from China.

What kind of dog is in the picture with you?

Cooper is a Malagasy Coton de Tulear; they are initially from Madagascar. Coton means cotton in French – as their fur is soft like cotton. Cooper is my only pure-bred dog (my other three are strays). I got him because Cotons are known as “anti-depression” dogs, so he works as my “assistant” therapist! He enjoys nothing more than sitting on someone’s lap!
