About me

“When I have been listened to and when I have been heard, I am able to re-perceive my world in a new way and to go on” - Carl Rogers

Therapy is a sanctuary, and you deserve a safe place to tell your story. I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 18 years of experience treating adults with a variety of mental health needs. In therapy we will work together to help you overcome anxiety or other distressing emotions, build or improve relationships, or meet other goals you have for yourself.

I provide CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) with some components of Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapies. I am a strong believer in evidence-based treatment. I understand you want treatment that has been proven, so when I recommend a strategy, I like to explain why it will be helpful. I also believe that therapy should be collaborative (we work together) and adapted to each individual client.

Clients I treat may have frequent anxiety, worry, phobias, or panic attacks. They may avoid leaving homes and/or be especially nervous in social situations. I help adults with ADHD learn to manage their symptoms and thrive using their strengths.  I treat adults with unipolar or Bipolar depression, loneliness, self-esteem issues, grief and trauma histories. I treat adult children of abusive/toxic parents, older adults coping with age-related stressors and caregivers of older adults. I also treat adults with personality disorders such as Borderline Personality Disorder.

Payment

 I am able to bill the following insurances: BCBS, Blue Home with UNC Health Alliance, Medicare, Medcost, Aetna , SHP.  If you are out of network, I will provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement.  Self-pay rates are $250 for the initial session and $150 for subsequent sessions.

Hours

Monday through Friday 9 am- 5 pm.  Telehealth and in person sessions.
