Virtual Therapy Serving North Carolina & South Carolina

If you’ve never been in counseling before, you may not even know what you need in a therapist. Finding a therapist is about finding someone you feel comfortable with, who can empathize with what you’re going through, and who you can see yourself trusting with those hard topics you can’t seem to share with anyone else.

I specialize in intersectional, relationship-focused, somatic trauma treatment. I have extensive experience supporting survivors of sexual violence, as well as LGBTQIA+ clients, their partners, and their families. In addition to my work as a therapist, I also offer clinical supervision, consultation and training to other mental health and wellness providers focused on concepts related to trauma, oppression and the therapeutic relationship.

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

  • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.

Insurance & Sliding Scale

I’m in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, including the State Health Plan, Aetna, and United Health Care/Optum. I’m considered out-of-network for all other insurance carriers. I have a limited number of lower fee spaces, which are currently full.
