About Me

Thank you for visiting my site! I offer psychotherapy services to individuals, couples, and groups looking to address concerns that include depression, anxiety, eating disorders and body image concerns, relationship and family issues, grief and loss, LGBTQ+ concerns, and difficult life transitions. I received my Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Georgia and practice at Midtown Psychotherapy Associates in Atlanta, GA.

I believe in creating a warm, accepting atmosphere where you can express yourself fully and without judgement. We will work collaboratively to understand your goals and create a strengths-based foundation from which to build from. My therapeutic approach is integrative and draws on elements from collaborative, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and experiential modalities.
 

About Me

Services & Fees

Adult & Adolescent Individual Therapy

My approach to therapy involves a collaborative process where your role, input, and participation are just as valuable as mine. In our sessions, I seek to help you feel supported and heard – not tell you how you should think.

I employ a person-in-environment perspective that seeks to understand and take into account the various social and environmental contexts in which a person lives. I tailor my approach to each individual, and I often utilize cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify and restructure maladaptive thought patterns and mindfulness techniques to assist with relaxation and decrease stress.

Couples & Family Therapy

Therapy can provide a safe place for couples to discuss their concerns, process emotions with each other, and find balance within the relationship. Couples counseling does not involve only romantic relationships - it may also involve friendships or family relationships.

Fees

My fee is $150 for a 50-minute session and is prorated for extended sessions. While I am not in-network with insurance providers, I can provide you the necessary paperwork for you to file for out-of-network benefits. I offer sliding scale fees for a limited amount of clients experiencing financial difficulty.

FAQ

Q: Do you take insurance?

A: I am an out-of-network provider. I am licensed and may provide a receipt or superbill for therapy services for you to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. I cannot guarantee that you will be reimbursed for services and encourage you to contact your insurance company prior to our first session.

Q: Where are you located?

A: Midtown Psychotherapy Associates is located in the ASW building on the Armour/Ottley Loop. Our location is easily accessible from I-75, I-85, GA400, and intown neighborhoods. Ample free parking is available.

Q: What can I expect from therapy?

A: Your therapy experience is unique to you. For this reason, I cannot give you the exact number of sessions you need, nor can therapy provide a “quick fix” to any one issue. Often we will discuss some difficult aspects of your life, and you may experience some intense feelings - not only is this normal, it is beneficial. Healing takes time, and we will work together to find the best path forward in order to meet your needs.
