I work exclusively with adult women in North Carolina struggling with over-thinking and confidence. Many of my clients come to me with this lingering feeling they need to constantly “prove” or “earn” approval/love from others or specific people.
-
Like finally being seen and not judged.
Someone choosing to work with me is a true honor that I take seriously. It is brave to reach out for support. I want to ensure you are comfortable and finally validated while still being real with you.
Some sessions focus on EMDR processing, while others may include resourcing, parts work, somatic tools, or skill building. If it is time to process something but you truly don’t feel ready, we won’t. We switch gears to something else. There is no pushing you to get through things. When you are ready, we will go there.
This is your journey.. I’m just here to walk along side and support.
-
Most clients attend therapy weekly for the first 4 weeks then go down to bi‑weekly, depending on their needs and goals.
I also have plenty clients who prefer a monthly schedule. For example, 2 hours once a month. I do not offer longer than 2 hours a session, unless it is an EMDR Intensive.
We can arrange this however is needed to best fit your needs and scheduling. Frequency can change over time and is always discussed collaboratively.

I do not accept any insurance.
This is a private‑pay therapy practice, and insurance is not accepted.

Diagnosis Reasons
Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis the first time I meet you to authorize and continue treatment. I think it’s unfair to diagnosis someone when I don’t know the full story yet. While diagnoses can be useful, they don’t always tell the full story. I see you .. your experiences, nervous system, trauma history, strengths, and context.. not just a label. They also state it has to be a medical necessity so if your diagnosis is not an approved one by insurance, they will not allow me to see you at all. Insurance dictating what is “bad enough” or not does not align with my values.Greater privacy and confidentiality
When insurance is used, your diagnosis, treatment plans, and session dates become part of your medical record and are accessible to third parties. This can also influence your access to life insurance policies. Private pay allows for more discretion and control over your personal mental health information.More flexibility in session length and frequency
Insurance typically limits sessions to 45–60 minutes and often dictates how often therapy can occur. Private pay allows us to choose what actually supports you : whether that’s 55-minute sessions, 85-minute sessions, EMDR intensives, weekly support, or spacing sessions out when needed.Treatment decisions are between you and me; not an insurance company
Insurance companies can influence what type of therapy is “allowed,” how long and often we work together, and when treatment should end. Private pay keeps your care guided by your true needs and goals, not external policies. -
I can provide a superbill upon request. A superbill is a detailed receipt that you may submit to your insurance company if you have out-of-network mental health benefits.
Superbills are available for standard therapy sessions and the EMDR intensive intake session only. Superbills are not provided for EMDR intensive therapy days, as insurance companies typically do not reimburse for extended sessions of this length.
Please note that reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends entirely on your individual insurance plan. Insurance companies determine the amount reimbursed and typically reimburse less than the session fee or deny the claim.
Clients are responsible for verifying their benefits, determining whether I am considered in-network or out-of-network with their plan, submitting the superbill, and communicating directly with their insurance company regarding claims. I do not communicate with insurance companies or dispute reimbursement decisions.
Payment is due at the time of service. Because insurance reimbursement is not guaranteed, I do not suggest clients rely on reimbursement when paying for sessions.
Please note:
A mental health diagnosis is required for insurance reimbursement and will appear on the superbill.
-
A very limited number of reduced‑fee sessions may be available. Priority is given to current clients who are experiencing financial hardships.
Please feel free to ask during your consultation if cost is a concern.
If I do not have a space available, I will be happy to connect you with other therapist that do have availability or accept insurance.
-
Yes. I offer virtual therapy to women located anywhere in North Carolina. Online sessions are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform and allow therapy to fit more naturally into your life without commuting or added stress.

I do offer in-person sessions in Wilson, North Carolina.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma‑informed therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer feel overwhelming. Instead of talking through events repeatedly, EMDR helps the nervous system resolve what is stuck and restore a sense of safety and control.
-
EMDR can be helpful if you feel emotionally triggered by past experiences, struggle with anxiety or shame, or notice patterns that don’t change with insight alone. You do not need to remember every detail of an experience for EMDR to work. We assess readiness together before beginning.
-
Absolutely. While I love EMDR, there are many other modalities I pull from in my work. I have plenty clients who have 0 interest in EMDR. We still work together and see great progress. This is your experience and choice.
