Individualized care delivered conveniently.
Powerful Psychotherapy
I provide individual psychotherapy for adults and older adults.
Located in North Carolina? I have some availability for in-person therapy for those local to the Durham, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh, NC area.
Live elsewhere or simply like the convenience of telehealth? Secure video conferencing means easier scheduling and access to the right expertise. Many healthcare providers, busy professionals, and those with limited transportation find this a welcome way to carve out some important time for themselves. I’ve practiced telehealth for many years because I love helping people get the compassionate and cutting-edge care they deserve, no matter how busy they are or where they live.
Whether it is your first time seeking care or you have had therapy before, I aim to listen and understand your concerns from multiple perspectives. It may be a new stressor or life change, or it could be a longer pattern of coping with other life complications or trauma. I work with you to create a collaborative therapeutic relationship to help you move toward your chosen life goals.
I strive to create a welcoming and safe space for everyone. I care about understanding you within a cultural and social context, aware of broader stressors you may experience from how the world responds to race, ethnicity, gender, orientation, age, neurodiversity, religion, culture, background, health experience, disability, and more.

Still have questions? I provide a free telephone consultation prior to scheduling.
Insurance and Payment
IN NETWORK
I accept original Medicare only. This does not include Medicare Advantage plans. (What is the difference? Read about it here.) For clients on Medicare Advantage plans, you will be responsible for paying for sessions at the rate set by the Centers for Medicare. Some Advantage plans will provide reimbursement back to you after you pay for my services. See below.
OUT OF NETWORK
I am considered an out of network provider for most other insurances. Out of Network Reimbursement may be possible. I recommend you call your insurance for an Explanation of Benefits to find out if you have this benefit available to you. Questions to ask include:
Do I have out of network reimbursement benefits for mental (or behavioral) health visits?
Do I have a deductible?
Are there any limits on this benefit?
How do I get reimbursement after paying for services?
After sessions, I provide a Superbill (an itemized receipt including proper codes for insurance purposes). This can be submitted to your insurance for reimbursement. When available this reimbursement can be anywhere from 50% up to about 80% of the cost of session. Some clients choose to use an outside company to help them get out-of-network reimbursement. One example is Mentaya.
COST OF VISITS
Initial Visit: $225
55-minute Return Visit: $210
I provide a Good Faith Estimate to help you understand the estimated out-of-pocket costs associated with your course of care. To pay fees for sessions, I accept all major debit/credit cards and Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account cards. I have some availability for clients paying a reduced rate.
My office for in-person services is located on the Durham/Chapel Hill line, near the intersection of 15/501 and I-40. Contact me for a free telephone consultation and to schedule an appointment.
In-Person Therapy
Telehealth locations
Using telehealth, I am able to reach adults located (physically present at the time of session) in North Carolina, Massachusetts, or any participating state. The list of eligible states is growing so check here.
