I am a licensed clinical psychologist with an independent, solo practice located in Downtown Decatur. I am not part of a group and I don't have a front office staff. Since I don't have a "front office" I use the technology of the internet, email, and scheduling software to assist me.

For more information on this please use the sidebar links on individual and couples counseling.

I provide psychotherapy and career planning for late adolescents and adults aged 18 and up. I do provide educational and career planning for high school aged adolescents.

Feel free to contact me by phone, email, fax or through my website. I will do my best to get back to you within 24 hours, if I don't please feel free to follow-up with me. The following link will give you further information:

I use an online appointment manager called AppointmentQuest to schedule and manage appointments. This program will allow you to see my schedule, make, reschedule or cancel appointments. To enter or change appointments you will need a username and password which will be created when you initially schedule with the program. Alternatively, if I schedule the appointment, I will send you login information by email.

I try and keep my schedule fairly full, so I encourage clients to schedule appointments in advance to secure a time slot.

I will not confirm an initial intake appointment until I have had some contact with you to verify appropriateness of fit and openings for new clients (note: open appointment slots do not always reflect that I can take new clients).

Proceed to AppointmentQuest to view schedule or make an appointment

For those clients that do not have insurance, are using out-of-network insurance benefits, or who choose not to use their coverage, the standard fee is $125 per session. If you are using insurance and I am out-of-network, then I will provide you with a receipt/superbill which you may use to get reimbursed for some of this cost. For those using insurance for which I am a network provider, the out-of-pocket cost will be based on your copay, coinsurance and/or deductible if applicable.

Individuals generally either pay "out of pocket" or they utilize their health insurance benefits which may cover a significant portion of the fee. I also accept Visa, MasterCard & Discover cards.

If you are using health insurance and need a network provider, I am currently a participating provider in the following networks:

Aetna
CIGNA
Blue Cross/Blue Shield
Maksin Group (Georgia colleges/universities)
Mental Health Network, Inc. (MHNet)
MulitiPlan
PHCS Network
Tricare/ValueOptions

Feel free to contact me with additional questions.
