Anomaly Therapy is a private therapy and workplace consultancy for high-performing adults — couples, founders, creatives, executives — and the partners who hold them together. We offer therapy for as low as $50 per session for those enrolled in our Accessible Care Program. Most people I work with are high-performing, capable, and overwhelmed—on the outside, everything looks “together,” but internally, it feels exhausting. I specialize in helping professionals, creatives, and couples navigate anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges so they can feel more grounded, clear, and connected in their daily lives.

Hello! I am an LCSW based in Northeast TN. I have worked in various therapeutic roles over the years, but my main love is crisis work. I find it an honor to help people who are going through the hardest time of their life and be able to walk through everything with them.

My ideal clients are humans trying to make sense of their experiences. Life is often more complicated than we expect it to be. We can feel grateful and heartbroken, hopeful and scared, connected and alone all at once. Whether you’re navigating grief, trauma, a life transition, relationship challenges, or simply trying to understand yourself more deeply, therapy can offer a space to slow down and make sense of your experience. My years as a registered nurse, along with my experiences as a Korean adoptee and mother, continue to shape the curiosity, compassion, and perspective I bring into the therapy room.

I support women who experience overwhelm, burnout and anxiety. You might appear to have it all together on the outside, but inside, you’re weighed down by managing life’s responsibilities. You’re in need of rest but unsure how to truly incorporate it into your life. Maybe you’ve been running on autopilot, focusing on others’ needs while neglecting your own. I work with women who want to live with peace, be organized, have rhythms of rest, be secure in their identity & grow in their relationships with others. I also support couples build a stronger foundation through clearer communication, deeper connection, and renewed trust.

Sometimes the ways we have learned to survive difficult experiences can become the things that keep us from feeling fully present, connected, or fulfilled. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, or a major life transition and wondering how to move forward. Therapy can provide a space to better understand yourself, heal from what you've experienced, and develop new ways of coping and connecting.

I work with clients that struggle with disordered eating, body image struggles, substance use issues, anxiety, life transitions, and trauma. I also see couples hoping to reconnect with one another and get back to the roots of their relationships. Clients who see me generally are looking for a direct, though warm and empathetic, therapist. My clients are seeking support, but also tangible solutions and I’m excited to help them identify those! Therapy should be helpful and you should walk away with a true feeling of progress.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.

Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

How much does therapy cost?

The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.

What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?

Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
