Unfortunately, I am only able to offer telehealth at this time because the demand for remote therapy has increased to such a degree over the years that it became unfeasible to keep a physical office space and continue offering in-person as well.

Yes, I accept the following insurances: Aetna, Optum, Oscar Health, Oxford, and UnitedHealthcare; however, self-pay is also an option, if you do not have insurance or do not want to use insurance. If you do plan to use insurance, and you would like to get a better idea of how much each session would cost, please feel free to contact me for an estimate.

If I am out of network with your insurance, but you would still like to work with me, I can provide you with a superbill, allowing you to seek reimbursement directly from your insurance provider. Please just keep in mind that the extent of reimbursement will be subject to the terms and conditions of your specific insurance plan.

There are different levels of mental health care, ranging from residential treatment (inpatient) to private practice (outpatient), and what type of care you need is based upon your level of functioning. Private practice is for people who are able to meet the requirements of this level of care: attending appointments regularly, a willingness to change and apply what you learn outside of therapy, and the ability to maintain safety around yourself and others.

This depends on what type of therapy experience you are looking for; how open, honest, and engaged you are in sessions; how consistent you are with attending therapy; how much you apply outside of therapy; the severity and complexity of your issues; and the amount of areas you would like to work on. Generally speaking, clients tend to work with me for six months to one year. Although, some clients choose to work with me for longer, if they are looking for ongoing maintenance, support, and growth throughout life’s ups and downs.

For most of my life, I struggled with chronic and severe mental/physical illness. I sought help from many health professionals, but I was met with either skepticism and invalidation, or they just did not know how to help me. It seemed as though I had tried everything to find relief or a cure--every medicine under the sun, supplements, therapy, surgery, herbs, acupuncture, energy healing, salt baths, infrared sauna, etc.—but nothing worked. Finally, I decided to take charge of my own health by educating and experimenting on myself, and, through my own journey, I gained the knowledge I needed to empower myself and live a healthier, happier life. This also gave me the ability to delve deeper into the internal, psychological work that I desperately needed, and my world began to open up. Needless to say, I chose this career path, so I could provide others with the help I could not find, and I continue to commit to my own personal and professional learning, growth, and transformation for both myself and my clients.

Since I am only licensed in the state of Georgia, I can only work with Georgia residents, and I cannot work with clients when they are physically outside of state lines; however, this will change as a result of the Counseling Compact. This is an interstate compact estimated to go into effect in 2024 that will allow counselors to practice in other compact member states without needing multiple licenses. To check on the progress of the compact, please visit the Counseling Compact website.

Since last checking, these are the states that have legislation enacted: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

And pending:
New Jersey, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Wisconsin.
