Your Questions, Answered

  • I specialize in supporting women experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, self‑worth challenges, and life transitions. Many of my clients are high‑achieving, deeply caring women who feel exhausted from trying to “hold it all together.”


    If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the emotional load women carry, you’re in the right place.

  • Yes. I provide online therapy for women in Alpharetta and throughout Georgia and Virginia. Virtual sessions offer the same depth and connection as in‑person therapy, with the added comfort and flexibility of meeting from home.

  • Yes. I serve women throughout Georgia and Virginia, including Alpharetta, Roswell, Milton, Johns Creek, and the greater Atlanta area.

  • You’ll likely be a great fit if you are:

    • Open‑minded and curious about your inner world

    • Ready to commit to weekly sessions (at least initially)

    • Willing to explore your thoughts and emotions honestly

    • Motivated to practice new skills between sessions

    • Looking for a therapist who is warm, direct, and collaborative

    You may not be a good fit if you:

    • Want quick fixes without doing deeper work

    • Prefer a therapist who is strictly passive or only listens

    • Are not ready to commit to consistent sessions

    • Are seeking court‑ordered therapy, custody evaluations, or crisis services

    My goal is to support clients who are truly ready for meaningful, lasting change.

  • Your first session is a gentle, grounding conversation. We’ll explore what brought you to therapy, what you’ve been struggling with, and what you hope to change. You don’t need to prepare anything — just show up as you are.


    By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer sense of direction and whether we feel like a good therapeutic match.

  • Most clients begin with weekly 50‑minute sessions to build momentum and start feeling better sooner. As you make progress, we may shift to bi‑weekly sessions to support continued growth.

  • Yes — when it’s helpful. Many clients appreciate having reflection prompts, grounding exercises, or practical tools to use between sessions. These help you integrate what we discuss and keep the healing process moving.

  • I use a blend of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution‑Focused Therapy.

    My style is warm, collaborative, and active. I won’t just nod and say “mm‑hmm.” I’ll help you understand patterns, build new skills, and feel more grounded in your daily life.

  • My approach is warm, active, and deeply collaborative. I help women understand themselves, build emotional resilience, and create meaningful change — not just talk about problems.

  • Yes. I am in‑network with several insurance plans in Georgia and Virginia.


    Self‑pay sessions are $155.


    Insurance does not cover late cancellation or no‑show fees.

  • Please provide 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations and no‑shows incur a $75 fee. Consistency is essential for progress, and this policy helps protect your therapeutic momentum.

  • No. I work exclusively with women ages 18+. This allows me to provide specialized, focused care for the clients I serve best.

  • I do not provide 24‑hour crisis support. If you are experiencing a life‑threatening emergency, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

  • Absolutely. Many women find that online therapy helps them feel more comfortable, open, and grounded during sessions. Research shows that virtual therapy is just as effective as in‑person care for anxiety and depression.

  • You can schedule a free 15‑minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. This is a relaxed, pressure‑free conversation where you can ask questions and get a feel for my approach.

  • I am able to complete some forms, such as requests for work or school accommodations, on a case-by-case basis. I will only consider completion of forms after I have met with client for at least 6 sessions.

No Surprises Act

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

If we meet for a 50-minute individual counseling session weekly for 12 months, you should expect to pay $8,060.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
