Here, Healing Feels Human.

Feeling comfortable and supported by your therapist matters. I offer a free 15-minute initial phone consultation to help you determine whether my approach feels like a good match for your needs. If at any point it feels like a different type of care would be more helpful, I’m happy to discuss options or referrals.

Yes. Telehealth sessions are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. You can join sessions from a private, comfortable space using a phone, tablet, or computer. Telehealth offers flexibility while still providing meaningful and effective care. Clients must be physically located in the state of North Carolina at the time of each session, in accordance with state licensure requirements, as this is the state where I am licensed to practice.

Yes, I will take insurance soon! I am currently in the credentialing process with several major insurance providers to include United Behavioral, Tricare Humana, Blue Cross Blue Shield of NC, Medicaid (AmeriHealth Caritas, Healthy Blue, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of North Carolina), WellCare NC, Carolina Complete, Medicare (Blue Medicare, Aetna Medicare). Until this is complete, I am unable to process insurance claims. You are welcome to self-pay or join my insurance waitlist and be notified once credentialing is finalized.

*Please note that I do not accept insurance for couples therapy. Couples services are self-pay only.

If you have insurance that I am not currently credentialed with, I am considered an out-of-network provider. In these cases, clients are responsible for paying my full session fee at the time of service. I am happy to provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement, which is a detailed receipt you can submit directly to your insurance company to request reimbursement. Depending on your plan, services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. It’s important to note that having insurance does not always mean services are covered. Mental health benefits vary by plan, and clients are responsible for understanding their coverage, including deductibles, copays, coinsurance, and any session limits before starting services. Because out-of-network benefits vary widely, it’s important to check your coverage directly with your insurance provider prior to starting therapy.

Most insurance plans do not cover couples or relationship therapy because there is not a single identified patient with a mental health diagnosis, nor is there a designated couples therapy billable code. Insurance reimbursement typically requires an individual diagnosis and medical necessity criteria that do not align with the goals of couple’s work. Offering couples therapy as a self-pay service allows me to focus fully on the relationship itself, remain neutral to both partners, and provide care that is not constrained by insurance-driven requirements.

Some people do not have insurance or prefer to self-pay for services. Below is my transparent pricing for private-pay care. The private pay rate for individual therapy is $160 per session for appointments up to 55 minutes. Couples therapy is offered at a rate of $200 per session for appointments up to 75 minutes. I also offer a limited number of reduced-fee spots through Open Path Collective for clients needing more affordable access to care. Good Faith Estimates are provided in accordance with federal guidelines, and I am happy to answer any questions to help you determine the best fit for your needs.

Clinical supervision is offered at a rate of $100 per one-hour supervision meeting. Reduced rates are available for Peer Support Specialists (PSS) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselors (CADC) to support accessibility within the behavioral health workforce. Fees for teaching, training, and consultation vary depending on the scope of the work, preparation time, travel, and related factors; please contact me to discuss your needs and receive a customized quote.

Whether or not to use insurance for therapy is a personal decision and depends on your individual needs and preferences. Some people choose not to use insurance because they prefer greater privacy, do not want a mental health diagnosis assigned, or do not want their clinical information shared with an insurance company. Others value the flexibility of self-pay, including fewer restrictions on the number of sessions or the focus of care. Still, some people choose to use insurance to help offset the cost of services. There is no right or wrong choice, only what feels most supportive and works best for you.

*If you have Medicare or Medicaid, federal and state regulations require that I bill your insurance rather than offering services on a private-pay basis. If you have questions about how insurance use may impact your care, I’m happy to talk through your options with you.

Session frequency is individualized and based on your needs, goals, and the type of service provided. Many clients meet weekly, biweekly, or monthly, while others may schedule sessions on a more short-term or as-needed basis. Most therapy sessions are typically 45–55 minutes in length, though session duration and frequency may vary depending on clinical needs, the type of service (individual, couples, or family therapy), and what we agree upon together. We will regularly check in and adjust as needed to ensure therapy continues to feel supportive and effective.
