THE PRACTICAL STUFF | THE BORING (BUT IMPORTANT) DETAILS

So you don't have to email me just to find out if I take your insurance

Who I work with


Adults that’re 18+ navigating trauma, identity, relationships, burnout, life transitions, & the general chaos of being a human in today’s fucking world


My work is LGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma-informed, & built around your actual lived experience, not a diagnostic checklist


How seshes happen


— Telehealth only, using the Jane App

— They’re 55 minute secure video sessions

— I do therapy with clients living in North Carolina & South Carolina


You don't need a perfect setup. A quiet-ish space & some kinda something that connects to video is genuinely enough.


Insurance plans I take


Aetna | Blue Cross Blue Shield | NC State Health Plan | Cigna | Evernorth | UMR | UnitedHealthcare | Optum


To double-check whether I'm covered under your specific policy, contact your insurance company directly; they ultimately decide if you’re covered, not me. If your insurance isn't on that list, I'm considered out-of-network.


How self-pay & out-of-network works


Self-pay sessions are $175–$225 per session.

If you're using out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company directly.


I also offer bundled packages if that works better for you: 2 sessions for $300 or 4 sessions for $600, both paid upfront.


Payment


Payment’s handled through a secure client portal & is due at the time of our session.

If you have questions about cost or coverage before scheduling, just ask. Seriously, just ask.


A note about communication


I respond personally during business hours. There's no assistant screening your emails or an automated system deciding whether you're a good fit before I ever see your name.


If something changes with my availability, I'll tell you directly. No runaround.


That’s it


No fine print. No gotchas. Just the information you need to decide if this makes sense for you.


If something here answered your question - that’s awesome. If you still have one, reach out. I don't bite. 🤍
