Let’s Begin
Investing in Your Wellbeing
It’s important to me that you feel informed and comfortable from the very beginning. I want you to have a clear understanding of what I offer, what to expect, and how we can work together.
I provide therapy in person in downtown Waynesville, NC, as well as online across North Carolina via secure, HIPAA-compliant Zoom. My availability is Monday through Friday, with daytime appointments and some flexibility depending on your schedule.
I am currently accepting new private pay clients. Private pay offers flexibility, privacy, and care without insurance limits. I also continue to accept a limited number of clients through Blue Cross Blue Shield and the Aetna NC State Health Plan. If your insurance includes out-of-network benefits, I can provide superbills for you to submit for potential reimbursement.
To help you get started, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to answer your questions and see if working together feels like a good fit.

FAQ-Payment & Getting Started
Do you take insurance?
I currently accept Blue Cross Blue Shield and the Aetna State Health Plan. Beginning January 1, 2026, I will only accept these two plans and all other sessions will be private pay.
Can I get reimbursed if you’re out-of-network?
Yes. If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits, I can provide superbills for you to submit for possible reimbursement. Some clients also use services like Mentaya to make the process easier.
Do you offer a sliding scale?
Yes, I reserve a limited number of reduced-fee appointments. Availability varies, and I’m happy to discuss this option with you.
Why private pay?
Moving toward a private pay model allows me to offer more flexibility, increased privacy (since insurance companies don’t access your records), and treatment guided by your needs—not insurance restrictions.
What’s the next step?
The best way to get started is to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. This call gives us a chance to connect, answer questions, and see if working together feels like a good fit.
