  • Individual therapy sessions are 50 minutes at $135 per session.

    Couples therapy sessions are 50 minutes at $170 per session.

    Extended sessions (individual or couples) are available at $200.

    EMDR Intensive Mini Sessions are 3 hours at $300. These are ideal for clients who want to do concentrated EMDR processing work in a single focused session rather than across multiple weekly appointments.

  • I do not bill insurance directly. I am a private pay therapist, which means you pay for sessions out of pocket at the time of service.

    Private pay therapy offers significant advantages - more privacy, no diagnosis required for coverage, greater flexibility in how we structure our work, and no insurance company dictating how many sessions you're allowed or what we can work on.

    However, if you have a PPO insurance plan, you may be eligible for out-of-network reimbursement. I provide superbills to support this process.

  • Answer:

    Yes! Therapy sessions are typically eligible expenses under both Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA). You can use your FSA/HSA debit card to pay for sessions at the time of service, or submit a receipt for reimbursement.

    Since I provide superbills, you'll have the documentation you need if your FSA/HSA administrator requires it for reimbursement purposes.

    If you're unsure whether your specific plan covers mental health services, contact your FSA/HSA administrator before your first session.

  • A superbill is an itemized receipt for your therapy sessions that includes all the information your insurance provider needs to process an out-of-network reimbursement claim. I provide superbills upon request.

    Here's how it typically works: you pay for your session in full, I provide a superbill, and you submit it to your insurance company for reimbursement. Depending on your out-of-network benefits, your insurance may reimburse a portion of the session cost.

    To find out what your out-of-network benefits are, call the member services number on the back of your insurance card and ask: "What are my out-of-network mental health benefits and what is my out-of-network deductible?"

    You may also want to explore Thrizer - a platform that simplifies the out-of-network reimbursement process for clients. Rather than paying the full session fee and waiting weeks for a reimbursement check, Thrizer allows you to pay only your estimated out-of-pocket cost upfront and handles the insurance claim on your behalf. I don't work with Thrizer directly, but it's a resource worth knowing about.

  • Yes, I have a limited number of sliding scale spots available for clients who demonstrate financial need. Sliding scale fees are determined on a case-by-case basis during the consultation call.

    If cost is a barrier, please don't let that stop you from reaching out. We can have an honest conversation about what's possible.

  • Are there resources to help pay for therapy?

    Yes. If cost is a barrier, you have options. The Loveland Foundation provides therapy vouchers covering up to 12 sessions for Black women, girls, and gender-expansive individuals - at no cost. Their site also connects you with other trusted directories and financial assistance programs, so even if their fund isn't open when you're ready, there are other pathways.

    I also offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for clients who demonstrate financial need. If cost is preventing you from getting started, don't let that stop you from reaching out. We can have an honest conversation about what's possible.

  • Life happens, and plans change - just give at least 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations or missed sessions will be charged a $100 fee per group practice policy.

  • Yes - I offer both. In-person sessions are available at my Buford, GA location. Telehealth sessions are available to anyone located anywhere in Georgia via a secure video platform.

    Not sure which is right for you? We can talk through it during your free consultation call.

  • Therapy with me follows a 12-week arc to start. The first three weeks are weekly sessions — this is where we build the foundation, get to know each other, and establish the direction of our work together.

    After week three, session frequency is decided together based on your progress. I prefer to continue weekly when possible, as consistency tends to produce the best results — particularly with trauma work. At minimum, we meet biweekly. Sessions less frequent than every two weeks don't support the depth of work we're doing together.

    12 weeks is a starting framework, not a finish line. Many clients continue beyond 12 weeks , trauma and generational healing are rarely linear, and we stay in it as long as the work calls for it.

  • The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in whether therapy works , so this is a great question to ask.

    I work best with adults who are self-aware, motivated to do the work, and ready to look at the deeper roots of what's showing up in their lives. My approach is warm but direct . I won't let you stay stuck, and I'll challenge you with compassion when it serves your growth.

    If you're a first-generation cycle-breaker, from a Caribbean or diaspora background, or navigating the intersection of trauma and financial stress, you'll likely feel at home in my practice.

    The best way to find out if we're a good fit is the free 15-minute consultation. There's no pressure and no commitment - it's just a conversation.

  • EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It's an evidence-based therapy approach that was originally developed to treat PTSD and has since been shown to be effective for a wide range of trauma and stress-related concerns.

    Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR works directly with the brain's natural healing process. When we experience something traumatic or overwhelming, the memory can get "stuck" in the nervous system, which is why certain memories, feelings, or triggers can feel just as intense years later as they did when they first happened.

    EMDR uses bilateral stimulation - typically eye movements, tapping, or sounds - while you briefly focus on a distressing memory. This helps the brain process and integrate the experience so it no longer carries the same emotional charge.

    Many clients notice significant shifts after EMDR - not just in how they think about a past experience, but in how they feel about it in their body.
