About Me
I support individuals and couples navigating depression, self-harming or self-destructive urges, anxiety, eating disorders, and relationship concerns. I work well with self-described "overthinkers" or "intellectualizers" who may already be self-aware, but are struggling to fully feel and process their emotions. As someone who has been shaped by both positive and negative experiences in the world of mental health treatment, I especially enjoy supporting those who have had poor experiences with therapy in the past, first time therapy clients, and those who have felt misunderstood or dismissed by other providers.
As a social worker and therapist, I enjoy exploring how larger systems of oppression, relationships, and community are tied to our well-being. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to meet clients where they are, with a focus on trauma-informed, strengths-based approaches.
My practice welcomes neurodiverse, gender-diverse, LGBTQIA+, ethically non-monogamous and kink communities, and I am passionate about working with anyone who has been marginalized because of their identities, preferences, or way of being in this world. I am here to collaborate with you on what your care looks like, wherever your starting point may be.
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 $165 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, please reach out to me to discuss these options.
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.
The No Surprises Act of 2022 requires that I provide uninsured or self-pay clients with a Good Faith Estimate, or notification that outlines expected charges. Please see my Good Faith Estimate form for full details.
Note: the expected cost of therapy is based on my fee times the number of sessions needed. As your therapist, I will work with you throughout your treatment to determine how many sessions and/or services you need to receive the greatest benefit based on your diagnosis(es) or presenting clinical concerns. It is not possible nor therapeutically ethical to estimate the number of sessions needed upfront as ongoing variables contribute to that need and timeline. However, all payment is due at the time of service and all fees are discussed upfront. I am committed to being transparent about fees and services so that my clients do not experience financial surprises. Please see the table of fees and services in my Good Faith Estimate form for more information.
Q: Where are you located?
A: My practice is located in the Peachtree 25th Building at 1718-1720 Peachtree St. NW, Atlanta, GA 30309. There is onsite visitor parking in an attached deck to the building.
Q: What can I expect from therapy?
A: Everyone’s therapy experience is unique. 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.
