Psychotherapy & Counseling for adults of all ages, identities, and backgrounds who are navigating:

- Grief and Loss,

- Illness and Caregiving

- Depression

- Anxiety

- Trauma

- Stress

- Life Transitions

Appointments are available via telehealth or in-person in a lovely historic building near Duke's East Campus.

My standard session fee is $150.

I am an in-network provider for most commercial Blue Cross Blue Shield plans, the NC State Health Plan, the Duke University Student Health Plan, Aetna PPO and commercial plans, Cigna, and traditional Medicare.

If your insurance plan is not listed above, I can provide a monthly "super-bill" to help you access any out-of-network benefits for which you may be eligible. Please contact your insurance company to confirm your plan's coverage for out-of-network mental health services.

In an effort to make therapy more accessible for those who do not have insurance coverage and are unable to pay the standard rate, I provide a limited number of sliding scale appointments. Please feel free to reach out to discuss reduced-rate availability.

PHILOSOPHY & APPROACH

Change is a process.

Humans are highly individualized, with vast differences in life experiences, personalities, strengths, needs, and goals. Therapy should be adaptive and flexible, as individualized as the people we serve.

My approach is relational, collaborative, and grounded in the individual needs and strengths of each client. While I appreciate and draw from various theoretical frameworks, my intention is to create the right therapeutic space for each client to move in the direction of their identified goals. This begins by building safety and trust in the relationship.

I practice through a trauma-informed, humanistic, and holistic lens, working to understand the whole person in the context of their history, experiences, and the systems that shape their lives. In session, I often integrate mindfulness practices, encourage self-reflection, and cultivate insight and self-awareness. I generally utilize process-based therapy approaches, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, while also drawing on additional training in Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Grief Therapy to support healing from trauma and complicated grief.

“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.”

Carl Rogers

Disclaimer for Good Faith Estimate for Cash Pay and Out of Network Patients:

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) of expected charges. The GFE shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for services provided. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created. It does not take into account any reimbursement that you may receive as a result of out of network benefits. The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur. If you are billed for more than this Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill. You may contact the provider if billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate. You can ask that the bill be updated to match the Good Faith Estimate, ask to negotiate the bill, or ask if there is financial assistance available.
