Your queer and trans* identities are embraced in LGBTQ+ affirming counseling, here.

As a member of the LGBTQ community in Durham, I know that is not the case everywhere. Leaving queer folx feeling…

…a tug of war between your authenticity and others’ expectations…

…masking and probing new situations for if you can be authentically you…

…feeling overwhelmed, distracted, and detached…

Your journey is valid, and your authenticity is celebrated here.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • My approach is unique in that our work will primarily focus on body-based (somatic), evidence-informed therapies. These are approaches to therapy that involve mind-body connection and have been validated by scientific research. Results cannot be guaranteed, and I will do my best to support you in meeting your goals.

  • I work with individual only, not couples. I see clients 16-40 years old.

  • All therapy is conducted via telehealth. I use HIPAA compliant telehealth software by Simple Practice, called, very aptly, Telehealth by Simple Practice. As a backup, I have a HIPAA compliant Zoom account.

  • Yes, I am currently an in-network provider with Aetna.

    For all other insurances, you may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will support the cost of our services.

    I have partnered with Thrizer, a payment application that handles this process automatically for you so you can pay only what you truly owe for our sessions. Additionally, I can provide superbills and accept HSA/FSA cards.

  • If you have Aetna, I am an in-network provider so the cost will depend on your insurance plan. We will verify your insurance before our first session.

    If you have any other insurance or want to self-pay (also called private pay), the cost of sessions are $178 for a 53-minute session. I accept HSA/FSA cards and take out of network benefits, which means that insurance will support the cost of our services.

    I have partnered with Thrizer, a payment application that handles this process automatically for you so you can pay only what you truly owe for our sessions.

    We will first check to confirm you have out-of-network benefits before session. If so, I will use Thrizer so that you are only charged your co-payment for the appointment. I’m happy to discuss this in further detail during a free consultation call or via email.

  • The call will be via telephone and last 15 minutes. Our goal is to see if we are a good fit to move onto the first session.

    It’ s good to come with any questions you have about what our work would look like. I’ll ask you some questions about what brings you to therapy, and what you want out of therapy. At the end we will decide if we want to try a first session together.

  • Yes! I can see clients living anywhere in North Carolina. This is the beauty of telehealth. If you are located outside of North Carolina, I encourage you to look for someone licensed in your state.
