Frequently asked questions

Individual and couples therapy is $165 per 50 minute session. I accept all major credit/debit cards, Health Savings Account (HSA) cards, Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards, and Loveland Vouchers. I do not offer a sliding-scale.

I do not accept insurance. For most people, in order to use their insurance, they must meet criteria for a mental health diagnosis. Since many people usually don’t meet criteria for a diagnosis, I want to ensure my services are available for people who do not meet that criteria. Additionally, there tends to be a lack of confidentiality with the insurance provider, and I am dedicated to protecting the content that people share and entrust with me in sessions.

I do accept Loveland Foundation vouchers. Please let me know during our consultation if you are a recipient and would like to use it.

I work with adults in a collaborative manner. I am not here to tell you what to do. My approach is to help you explore your background and make connections to how your previous experiences impact who you are today. And with that knowledge and insight, my goal is to help you identify the new path you want to take and help you build the courage and strength you need to walk your new path.

While I identify as a follower of Jesus and have this belief as a core part of my worldview, I leave it up to my clients to decide if and how much you want to incorporate your beliefs into treatment. Regardless of your belief system, I believe in seeing and working with the whole person because we are multifaceted human beings and all of our parts are interconnected. This means that I will explore how you are doing mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, etc. to get a holistic understanding of your current way of being.

While I have a general focus of working with women and couples, my primary clientele is Black/African-American women who would like to work on:

• learning to let go of the “superwoman” trope; no, you do not have to do it all, all of the time

• identifying ways to prevent, reduce, or recover from burnout (you might not identify with the term “burnout,” but if you are having a constant feeling of tiredness, exhaustion, and a loss of that spark you used to have, let’s talk)

• reducing the perfectionism mindset and helping you to set realistic expectations for yourself and others

• improving communication skills to have more satisfactory relationships

• processing through “church hurt” and navigating a new way of being in the faith

If you do not identify as a Black/African-American woman but find that some of these areas really resonate with you, I will be more than happy to consult with you to see if we would be a good fit to work together.

While telehealth can be an extremely helpful way to engage in therapy, it’s not ideal for everyone. The following is a list of factors that would make you a good candidate for telehealth:

• You have access to a functional electronic device with a working camera, microphone, and speakers and have access to quality internet that will allow you to have a consistent stream where the audio and video quality can be maintained with little interruptions

• You are comfortable with using technology

• You are able to meet consistently in a quiet and private location with minimal distractions or interruptions

• You are able to focus and engage via this means (consider how you function during virtual meetings in general)

• You are not currently experiencing high risk concerns, such as active suicidal or homicidal ideation, active psychosis, and/or severe substance use

If you find that you’re still unsure and/or you have additional questions, we can discuss this during a consultation.
