Do you offer in-person or virtual sessions?

At this time, I only offer virtual sessions. I am licensed in four states—Georgia (GA), Washington (WA), Pennsylvania (PA), and New Jersey (NJ)—and am able to see clients as long as they are physically present in one of these states during our session.

How much do sessions cost if I pay out of pocket?

For private pay clients, my session fees are $100 per session.

What types of conditions do you treat?

I have experience treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders (including generalized anxiety, panic, and social anxiety), ADHD, PTSD, acute stress, relationship dysfunction, anger, family conflict, and adjustment or life transitions.

However, I do not treat ASD, personality disorders, specific phobias, eating disorders, or OCD. For these conditions, I refer clients to specialized providers who can offer the appropriate care.

What is your approach to therapy?

My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I integrate evidence-based models like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and create meaningful change. I also incorporate psychoeducation to provide practical tools and a deeper understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, helping you feel more in control of your healing process.

Because I believe the real work begins after our sessions, I assign homework to help you apply what we’ve discussed in real-life situations. I hold you accountable while acting as a mirror, gently reflecting parts of yourself that may be uncomfortable to confront. While I am honest, I offer this feedback with care, moving at a pace that allows you to fully process and absorb the information. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or life transitions, I offer a supportive space where you can develop the skills to move forward with confidence and clarity.

How long does therapy usually last?

The length of therapy depends on the individual client and their unique circumstances. Some clients may only need six sessions, while others may benefit from a year or more of support. What's most important is the progress you're making, and we will assess this regularly.

Over time, I aim to transition clients to less frequent sessions, such as moving from weekly to biweekly or monthly sessions. As we get deeper into the skill-building phase of our work, you can expect more time between sessions to practice what you've learned before we continue to build.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes, I am in-network with many insurance companies. You can find your insurer by clicking here. If you're unsure about your coverage or have questions, feel free to reach out.

What can I expect during my first session?

The first session is about getting to know you, understanding your concerns, and discussing your goals for therapy. We’ll also go over confidentiality, treatment approaches, and next steps.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy at different points in life. Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes it’s helpful to have an objective, knowledgeable professional to help you see all sides of a problem and navigate the best path forward.

Therapy isn't a quick fix—it’s hard work, but it’s also necessary work. Having someone guide and support you through the process can make a world of difference in your ability to manage challenges and achieve personal growth.

What should I do if I need immediate support or if I’m in crisis?

If you are in crisis or experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 911, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact a crisis hotline, such as 988, for immediate support.

How do I schedule an appointment?

I use Headway and Grow Therapy for billing and scheduling. To get started, you’ll first need to identify your state and decide whether you’ll be paying privately or using insurance. Then, click on the appropriate link to create your profile on either platform, where you can schedule your first appointment.

Do you accept Employee Assistance Program (EAP) benefits?

Yes, I accept EAP benefits from select providers. If you're interested in using EAP for therapy, you can click here to see if your plan is covered.

EAP sessions are typically shorter, ranging from 35 to 40 minutes, and are intended to address short-term personal issues such as stress, relationship challenges, or work-related concerns. Employees generally receive 3-6 EAP sessions, but you can check with your employer to verify the exact benefits available to you. EAP benefits can be used for individual, couples, or family counseling.

Do you offer free phone consultations?

I do not offer free phone consultations because they often don’t provide enough time to understand your needs or build meaningful rapport. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with your therapist, so instead of a brief phone call, I invite clients to schedule an initial session. This allows us to use that time to better assess whether we’re a good fit for working together.

Do you provide therapy for children?

Unfortunately, I am not seeing young children at this time due to their unique scheduling demands and the challenges a telehealth format can present for them. However, if a child is part of the family unit seeking family therapy, they are welcome to join.

I do see adolescents ages 15 and up for individual therapy.

Do you prescribe medication?

I do not prescribe medication. However, if we determine that medication may be beneficial for you, I can provide referrals to psychiatrists or other professionals who specialize in medication management.

Do you provide accommodation letters for schools or employers?

I do not provide accommodation letters for schools or employers unless I have had time to evaluate the client’s needs and determine which accommodations would be most appropriate. In many cases, such as with ADHD, the diagnosis itself may be sufficient to secure standard accommodations, particularly in academic settings.

If time is of the essence and accommodations are needed promptly, you can request a clinical summary. This document provides a brief overview of the client's diagnosis, treatment progress, and sometimes the treatment plan, without disclosing sensitive or confidential details that would violate HIPAA.

Do you provide documentation for requests like FMLA, ESA, or legal matters?

FMLA and ESA letters are considered medical accommodations and must be based on a well-established treatment history, not just an initial assessment. These letters are legally binding and require clinical justification that reflects ongoing treatment, as well as an in-depth evaluation over time.

As such, I do not provide such documentation after only one or two sessions. These determinations should only be made in the context of extended clinical treatment, particularly when other measures have failed to alleviate symptoms. I have a professional policy of only providing these letters after I have worked with a client for a sufficient amount of time and can confidently assess their long-term need.

Similarly, I do not intervene in legal matters unless subpoenaed by court order due to ethical considerations. As a therapist, my primary responsibility is to provide a safe, confidential space for healing, and getting involved in legal proceedings could compromise that trust. Legal matters are best addressed by legal professionals, and I maintain clear boundaries to uphold the integrity of the therapeutic relationship.
