General Questions
Where are you located?
How long are the sessions?
Individual therapy last between 50-60 minutes.
Couples therapy sessions last for 90 minutes.
How do I set up an initial appointment?
The first step is to set up a free interest call, so I can learn more about you and your situation. From there, I will walk you through the process of getting added to the system and setting up your first appointment.
How often should we meet?
I generally suggest clients meet weekly for the first 4-6 weeks to get to know you more in-depth and create structure and momentum as you work toward your goals. However, I do not require this length by any means.
You can meet weekly, bi-weekly, even monthly. It’s all based on what works best for your situation and comfort.
Do you meet on the weekends?
I currently don’t meet on the weekends, as I carve that time out for self-care and rejuvenation.
What insurance do you accept?
Aetna
Blue Cross Blue Shield
Therapy Questions
Do you work with women, men, couples?
Should I do counseling or coaching?
Counseling is a good fit if…
- You experience mental health symptoms that cause distress in your life (i.e., anxiety, depression, trauma, disordered eating).
- You want to heal from past hurts or trauma or need support navigating emotions.
- You struggle with interpersonal relationships and want to learn strategies to feel less impacted by others.
Coaching is a good fit if…
- You want to get ‘unstuck’ and set goals you can achieve.
- You want to stop unhelpful habits and replace them with healthy alternatives.
- You know your inner critic keeps you from living your best life, and you want to learn how to quiet that voice.
- You feel confused about the next chapter in your life (i.e., struggling with career decisions, major life choices, relationships) and would like guidance on what would best serve you.
What do you do in session with clients?
My sessions are very client-focused, so I like to get to know you as much as possible by asking questions and just listening.
As things progress, I’ll help get a better understanding of what you’re going through and provide feedback and strategies to help you get through them more effectively.
What if I feel like I won't have enough time to stick with it?

Questions About Me
Why do you work with black women?
It’s a pretty long story, but here is the short version.
As a therapist, my interest and focus shifted to women’s issues as I learned more about the obstacles and challenges black women face.
These women can carry so much for themselves while still doing so much for others and striving for more personally and professionally. I wanted to play a role in creating a supportive space that a lot of women told me they lacked.
I also recognized that I had the best counselor-client dynamic, retention, and outcomes with black women related to consistency, openness, willingness to seek out services, and being challenged in therapy, all vital to success.
