Frequently asked questions.

Is this the right fit for my situation?

You may be a good fit for individual therapy if anxiety, past trauma, or any life transition has been weighing on you and nothing you’ve tried has really worked long-term. You care about your growth, and you’re not looking for a quick fix. You want real change, and you are ready to fully show up; open, honest, consistent, and willing to engage in support and guidance that helps you move forward. 

What does this service cost?

Price depends on the session type, and whether you're using insurance, I am in network with or private pay. For private pay, initial assessments are $230, and individual therapy sessions are $200. If you are using in-network insurance, the price will depend on your financial responsibility with your insurance. 

Do you take insurance?

Yes, I accept BCBS (All PPO plans), Aetna & State health plans, and United Healthcare/Optum for clients located in North Carolina. However, I am not currently paneled with any South Carolina insurance plans. This means all therapy services for South Carolina clients are private-pay/self-pay only.

What do I need to get started?

To be ready, you only need to be open to sharing your thoughts and story, willing to fully engage, be honest, and committed. If you want, you can bring a pen and notebook to keep track of questions you may have or things you want to discuss, as well as to note key information from the session that you may find helpful. 

What happens after I reach out?

After you reach out, we will schedule a 15-minute free consultation to discuss your wants and needs and determine whether I am a good fit for you. Once we have established that we are a good fit to work together, you will be sent intake consent forms to complete before your first appointment, and we will move forward from there. 

What if I’m not sure what to talk about?

It’s completely normal, especially if you have been holding a lot in for a long time. You don’t need to show up with an agenda or questions. We’ll start with what feels most present and comfortable for you that day. I will help guide the conversation, so we don't end up talking in circles. 

How often do we meet, and how long does therapy usually take?

Most people start with weekly or biweekly; however, we’ll choose what makes sense based on what you are dealing with and what you can realistically keep up with. As far as how long therapy takes, there is no one-size-fits-all timeline. It depends on the person and their needs, and sometimes those needs change over time. We will check in along the way and adjust as your progress warrants.
