the first time I ever went to therapy was after a breakup. i had initiated the split, so why was I so devastated? turns out, it's actually really, really hard to walk away from someone you love. in fact, you'll hear me say that it's one of the toughest decisions you may ever have to make.
not knowing what to expect, I was hesitant and nervous about therapy. thank goodness I stepped out of my comfort zone and asked for help. you can, too.
looking back, I cannot imagine how I would have made it through this tough time and difficult transition without a little guidance and extra support, encouragement, and accountability (shoutout to all the amazing therapists I’ve had in my life). feelings of empowerment, independence, and joy replaced those feelings of shame, sadness, and uncertainty.
my path will not be your path. my experiences are not yours.
but I do have some great insight (not to mention professional training) into what you might be going through right now.
hi! i might know how you’re feeling.
i work with individual clients, couples, and polycules through an attachment and developmental lens. in short-i think your relationships to others in the past have impacted how you show up in the world today. i utilize emdr therapy (eye movement desentitization and reprocessing) to address that one-time thing that happened, or to help you process and overcome the ongoing trauma you experienced growing up.
i love doing this work because i've been on the other side of it.
i've experienced first hand the life long benefits of good therapy. i've been stuck in ruts where i've doubted my ability to make a change. i know what shame, sadness, and uncertainty feels like in relationships. i’m also lucky to know what security, safety, and trust feels like, too.
financial stuff
sessions last for 53 minutes and are billed at $155. i accept BCBS and Aetna insurance. i retain a certain percentage of my caseload for sliding scale services-please inquire if needed.
upon request, i happily file out of network claims for my clients so our sessions go towards your out of network deductible. reimbursement rates are dependent upon your individual plan. you will be responsible for the full fee of service at the time of the appointment.
financial surprises = least favorite kind of surprises. please contact your insurance company to best anticipate what you may owe.
logistics
i provide both individual and couples counseling. i do not accept insurance for couples counseling, as this unfortunately is not a covered service.
i work with clients aged 18+ both online in NC and in person in Asheville.
i also offer supplemental EMDR therapy to folks who have a primary therapist who cannot provide this service
out of state or looking for something more directive or time limited? contact me about relationship coaching options.
