Therapy That Works
Practical, evidence-based therapy for people who are ready to take back control of their lives and be an active participant in their progress.
Who I Work With
I work with adults, adolescents, and college students across a range of presenting concerns. Many of my clients are driven, incredibly capable, and used to solving problems all on their own. They usually have hit a wall with their own approach, and therapy helps them work through it differently. I also work with athletes on the mental side of performance or other areas of life, and with couples who want to strengthen their relationship or work through something specific.
Individual therapy
Whatever your goals, we will collaboratively understand your needs and work together to make your life the one you have dreamed of.
Couples therapy
Whether you are thinking about a future together or have been together for years and need to find a new way of relating, couples therapy can help strengthen bonds and heal communication deficits.
Teen and adolescent therapy
No matter what your teen or adolescent is struggling with, we will work together without compromising their feelings of security and confidentiality and keep the parent in the loop as necessary for treatment.
Step 1: Free 15-minute consultation
First is typically a short Zoom session before either of us commits to the therapeutic relationship. You can ask questions, learn how I work, and we can decide whether we are a good fit. If not, I'll tell you honestly and help direct you to a better fit. I want to match you with the right clinician for your needs.
What to Expect
Step 2: Intake session
The first full session is an intake, not a traditional therapy session. We review your history and background, talk through what's been going on, and clarify what you hope to get out of therapy. At the end, we will have a clearer picture of your goals and an understanding of how we'll approach them together.
Step 3: Ongoing sessions
Sessions are 45 minutes, weekly to start. We build a clear, practical plan to work with. We check in on progress regularly and adjust as needed. The plan is always a flexible work in progress, since life rarely goes exactly as planned, and adapting is a valuable skill in itself. As you make progress, we can shift to every other week or a maintenance schedule. We collaborate on the pace, and we'll always be transparent about where things stand.
Logistics
-
I am a private-pay practice and do not bill insurance directly. The full session fee is billed at the time of service. I provide a monthly superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. To find out what you might be reimbursed, call the member services number on your insurance card and ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits before we begin. Every plan is different, and insurance is inherently confusing.
-
Working outside of insurance means more control for your permanent health record, complete confidentiality (your care isn't shared with your insurance company), and more flexibility in how we structure our work together. For clients who value privacy or want care that isn't dictated by insurance requirements, private pay is often the better fit.
-
Payment is due at the time of service. I accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and HSA or FSA cards.
-
All sessions are via telehealth on a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. No commute, no waiting room, and you can join from wherever you actually are. I'm licensed in Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia, and I hold PSYPACT authorization, which means I can also work with clients in participating states across the country.
-
I ask for at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations will be charged the full session fee.
Fees
-
Free
I offer a free 15-minute consultation. In this session, you will get a sense of my style, therapeutic approach, and understand if we are a good fit.
-
Fee: $275
The intake session is a comprehensive understanding of your presenting concerns and goals for treatment. We will collaboratively discuss treatment goals and planning while understanding the clinical presentation of symptoms.
-
Fee: $250
Individual sessions are 45 minutes and are scheduled at an agreed-upon cadence for optimal therapeutic benefit. Extended hour long sessions are available for an additional fee.
-
Fee: $275
Due to the complexity of working with two individuals at once, couples sessions are charged at a higher fee. Sessions are collaborative in nature and focus on the couple as the client, rather than two individuals.
