Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

  • Therapy can help if you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from yourself—even if you can't pinpoint exactly why. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people start because something just feels "off," and they want support figuring out what's next. If you're curious whether therapy might help, booking a free consultation is a low-pressure way to explore that question.

  • The 15-minute consultation is a chance for us to connect and see if we're a good fit. I'll ask a bit about what's bringing you to therapy, and you can ask me any questions about how I work. There's no pressure to commit—it's simply a conversation to help you decide if this feels right.

  • You can request a free 15-minute consultation or book a session directly through my secure online scheduling system.

Sessions & Logistics

  • Both! I see clients in person at my Atlanta office and via secure video sessions for clients located anywhere in Georgia. Many clients appreciate the flexibility of mixing both options depending on their schedule or preference.

  • Individual therapy sessions are 50 minutes.

  • Most clients meet weekly, especially at the beginning. Over time, we may adjust frequency based on your needs and goals. Some clients eventually move to biweekly sessions as they feel more grounded. We'll figure out what works best for you together.

  • My office is in Atlanta, Georgia. I also offer telehealth sessions for clients located anywhere in Georgia.

  • I'm licensed to provide therapy in Georgia only, so I can only see therapy clients who are physically located in Georgia during our sessions. However, I offer creative coaching for clients anywhere in the world—no license restrictions apply to coaching services.

Insurance & Fees

  • Individual therapy sessions are $X for a 50-minute session. Pricing for coaching and consultation services varies—you can find details on those pages.

  • I'm an out-of-network provider, which means I don't bill insurance directly. However, I can provide a superbill (a detailed receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits. I'm happy to walk you through how that process works.

  • Yes, I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots based on financial need. If cost is a barrier, please reach out—I'm committed to making therapy as accessible as possible within my capacity.

What to Expect in Therapy

  • There's no single formula, but most sessions involve talking through what's present for you—what's been on your mind, what's coming up emotionally, what patterns you're noticing. Sometimes we'll use creative tools like journaling prompts, art exercises, or metaphor to access deeper insight. My approach is warm and collaborative, and sessions move at your pace.

  • Expressive arts therapy uses creative processes—like drawing, writing, movement, or imagery—as tools for self-exploration and healing. You don't need to be "artistic" or have any particular skill. The goal isn't to create something beautiful; it's to access parts of yourself that are sometimes hard to reach through words alone. I integrate expressive arts into therapy when it feels helpful, but it's never required.

  • Psychodynamic therapy focuses on understanding how your past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns shape your present life. Rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms, we explore the deeper roots of what you're feeling. This approach helps you gain lasting insight—not just temporary relief. I practice a modern, relational style of psychodynamic therapy that's collaborative, warm, and grounded in the present.

  • It depends on what you're working through and what your goals are. Some people find relief within a few sessions; others benefit from longer-term work to create deeper, more lasting change. Therapy isn't about "fixing" yourself quickly—it's about building a relationship with yourself over time. We'll check in regularly about how things are going and what feels most supportive.

  • Therapy focuses on healing—processing past experiences, working through emotional pain, and addressing mental health concerns like anxiety or depression. Coaching is future-focused and action-oriented—it's about clarifying goals, overcoming blocks, and creating momentum in your life or creative work.

    If you're dealing with deeper emotional wounds, trauma, or mental health symptoms, therapy is likely the better fit. If you've done some healing work and now want support taking your next steps, coaching might be right for you.
