Getting Started
What ages do you work with?
I provide secure virtual therapy for adults 18 and older throughout Florida, including clients in Gainesville, Jacksonville, and communities across the state.
Do you work with couples or families?
No. My practice is focused on individual therapy for adults.
What issues do you specialize in?
I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, self-worth, relationship patterns, trauma and past experiences, perfectionism, over-functioning, depression, and major life transitions. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to your individual needs.
What is your therapeutic approach?
I use a collaborative, trauma-informed approach grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Person-Centered Therapy. Sessions are tailored to your goals, needs, and pace.
What does “trauma-informed” actually mean in our sessions?
Trauma-informed therapy means that we prioritize safety, trust, choice, and your individual pace. We recognize that current struggles can sometimes be connected to past experiences, while focusing on what you need in the present. You will never be pressured to share more than you are ready to discuss.
What can I expect in the first session?
We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, your goals, and what you need to feel safe and supported. There is no pressure to share more than you’re ready for.
What if I’ve never been to therapy before?
That’s completely okay. I’ll guide you through the process, answer questions, and make sure you feel supported every step of the way.
What is it like working with a Black therapist, if I’m not Black myself?
I welcome clients of all backgrounds. My approach centers on your individual experiences, needs, and goals rather than assumptions about your identity. If you’re unsure whether we would be a good fit, that’s something we can explore during a free consultation.
Logistics
Do you offer online therapy?
Yes. I provide secure telehealth sessions for adults anywhere in Florida. Many clients appreciate the flexibility and comfort of meeting from home.
What technology do I need for online therapy?
A phone, tablet, or computer with a camera and stable internet connection is all you need.
How long are sessions?
Sessions are typically 50 minutes. Longer sessions may be available upon request.
How often will we meet?
I typically recommend beginning with weekly sessions so we can establish a strong therapeutic relationship and create consistency as we work toward your goals. As therapy progresses, we may transition to biweekly or less frequent sessions based on your needs and progress. We’ll determine the frequency together.
How long will I be in therapy?
Therapy is individualized. Some clients work with me for a few months; others prefer long‑term support. We’ll decide together based on your goals.
Cost & Payment
What is your rate per session?
Sessions are $75, and I keep my rate intentionally accessible so therapy can remain consistent and sustainable.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I accept debit/credit cards and HSA/FSA cards.
Do you accept insurance?
No. I am a private-pay provider, which allows treatment to be centered on your individual needs and goals without insurance requirements determining the course of treatment.
Do you provide superbills for insurance reimbursement?
Yes. While I do not bill insurance directly, I can provide an itemized statement (Superbill) for you to submit to your insurance company for potential out of network reimbursement.
Do you accept Loveland Foundation vouchers?
Yes. I proudly accept Loveland Foundation vouchers for qualifying clients
What is your cancellation policy?
Sessions canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice are subject to the full session fee.
Other
Do you prescribe medication?
No. As an LMHC, I do not prescribe medication. If medication may be helpful, I can collaborate with your provider or refer you to one.
Is telehealth effective?
Yes. Research supports telehealth as an effective way to provide psychotherapy, with studies finding comparable outcomes to in-person therapy for many adults and concerns, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
Is everything confidential?
Yes. Your privacy is protected by law. I follow HIPAA standards and maintain secure telehealth and record‑keeping practices.
How do I schedule a session?
You can schedule through the “Schedule a Session” button or contact me by phone or email to discuss getting started.
Important: Crisis Support
My virtual private practice operates by scheduled appointment only and is not a crisis center. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency or are in immediate danger, please call or text 988 or go to your nearest emergency department.
