SERVICES PROVIDED:

I offer a Free 15-minute Call to new clients to give a quick introduction, answer any questions, and discuss a plan for your first session.

Psychotherapy Services:

Psychotherapy sessions are offered online to anyone living in NC, as well as, in person for those living in or around the Wilmington, NC area. I specialize in treating adults living with anxiety, depression, and grief/loss associated with being a caregiver. I use a HIPPA compliant telehealth and communications platform that is user-friendly. All psychotherapy services will follow all NC Social Work Licensing Board laws and regulations and NASW code of ethics and standards.

Your First Session will be an intake assessment service, which is structured as a 60-minute interview. During the interview, I will gather background information and assess your individual needs using a clinical interview approach. At the end of your first session, there will be a discussion and agreement of a personalized treatment plan to address symptoms associated with your current diagnosis.

Payment options: Currently, I am accepting insurance with Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Blue Cross/Blue Shield Medicare. Self-pay is also available.

Psychotherapy sessions utilizing the Cognitive Behavior Therapy approach typically take 12 -18 sessions. However, there could be fewer or more sessions needed to address additional symptoms/concerns. You are encouraged to bring notes and questions to your sessions. Homework activities or exercises are often encouraged to help in between sessions.

Education/Life Coaching Services:

If after the first call and/or session, someone does not meet any criteria for a psychological disorder found in the DSM-5TR, then the option to address life goals and changes is available through the life coaching option.

There is a distinct difference between psychotherapy services and life coaching services. Psychotherapy will focus on addressing symptoms from diagnostic criteria and is typically covered by insurance. Life coaching services are more focused on helping others to meet future goals and are not covered by insurance.

From the first session, we will formulate a goal plan and utilize my S.A.L.T. method for problem-solving and goal planning to execute changes in your life, relationship, and/or career. Let’s shake things up a bit and add some S.A.L.T. to your life.
