I charge $200 for each 50 minute session for individual, family, or couple therapy. I also have limited availability for reduced fee clients at $150 per session.

I am out-of-network with insurance.

I will collect your credit card information with your intake forms and charge your credit card after each session. 

I can submit out-of-network claims to your insurance company on your behalf or I am happy to provide you with the document to submit claims yourself if you prefer. Your insurance company will reimburse you according to your out-of-network policy.

I generally see clients on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays with evening appointments available Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

We will briefly discuss what’s bringing you to therapy to make sure my areas of specialty are a good fit for your needs. You can ask me questions about logistics, my therapy approach and experience, or therapy in general. 

During our first appointment I conduct an assessment to understand your concerns, relationship dynamics, general history, and set some goals for therapy. I ask you questions to get to know you and formulate a therapeutic approach, and I welcome your questions along the way.

I meet with in-person clients at my office in south Durham, which includes a large parking lot with free parking. There is a comfortable waiting room if you arrive early.

Yes, I provide virtual therapy for clients who reside in North Carolina. Due licensing restrictions, I can only meet virtually with clients who are located in North Carolina. 

I ask for 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or change your appointment. I charge a $100 cancellation fee for appointments cancelled less than 24 business hours in advance.

Our consultation call is a good opportunity to determine if I can provide the services you are looking for, and if my personality and approach feel comfortable for you. I provide opportunities to check in during the therapy process and encourage feedback. If either of us determine that I am not the right therapist for you, I will happily provide you with other referral options. 

To help you reach your goals, I use Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman methods in couples therapy. With individuals and families, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Attachment-Based modalities, as well as play therapy for children.

I earned a Masters degree in Couple and Family Therapy from the University of Maryland. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of North Carolina. I have been providing couple, family, and individual therapy for more than 10 years. 

My areas of expertise include relationship conflict, attachment concerns, separation and divorce, parent-child relationships, blended families, self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. I provide Discernment Counseling for couples considering divorce and I am a facilitator for the Prepare/Enrich premarital counseling program.
