My practice is currently full. I do offer sliding scale fees and pro-bono spots. In June 2025, I will accept BCBS and Aetna insurance plans for individual therapy. I do not accept insurance for couples therapy or group therapy. When using insurance, your co-pay will vary depending on your coverage.

I accept payments through CardPointe via TherapyNotes. Any additional payments as needed are conducted via the IvyPay app.
I can take the following payment forms: Visas, Discover, Master Cards, American Express, cash, or checks. Most of my clients choose to put a credit card on file that can be billed automatically each week, per session, while in treatment.
Deciding whether or not therapy is right for you depends on the experience that you have with your therapist, and it also depends on your current availability, needs, and goals for treatment. According to the American Psychological Association (APA), nearly 75% of surveyed therapy clients report benefitting from therapy.
A good therapy fit should feel easy, relaxed, and non-performative. You will know that you have found a good therapist fit for yourself when you feel connected, seen, and valued. A fit is also determined by the therapist's training and scope of practice, as well as the client's symptom severity.
The first session is more of an opportunity for the therapist and client to get to know more about one another and it is a continuation of determining whether or not the fit is appropriate. I like to use the first session as a way to ask continued assessment questions and to get a feel for one another.
Each decision has its pros and cons. For many individuals, using insurance makes therapy accessible. However, using insurance requires that the client have a diagnosis on file. Private pay offers more autonomy and flexibility while not requiring a diagnosis, but it can be less affordable. I'm happy to discuss more of this in detail during our consultation.
Yes, I offer in-person and virtual therapy. I am only available in person on T, W, and Th evenings in Asheville, NC.
I ask for a 24-hour advance notice for cancellations and rescheduling, in which you will not incur a fee. A late cancellation is anything under that 24-hour mark, which will be charged in the system as a "late-fee" cancellation.
Yes, I do have waitlists available for individual, couples, and group counseling. Once I have more availability or open a new group, wait-listed persons will be contacted on a first-come-first-serve basis.
