How do I get started with counseling?

There are multiple ways to inquire about services. You can fill out our secure contact form, e-mail me directly, or call the number on our contact page to discuss setting up your first appointment.

Do you offer online therapy?

Yes. I provide secure online therapy for residents throughout South Carolina and North Carolina using HIPAA-compliant SimplePractice telehealth. If you prefer meeting in person, appointments are also available in Simpsonville, South Carolina.

Do you offer in-person counseling?

In-person counseling appointments are available for clients who prefer face-to-face sessions. Conveniently located in Simpsonville, SC, the office serves individuals, couples, and families from Greenville, Greer, Easley, Mauldin, Fountain Inn, Traveler’s Rest, and surrounding Upstate communities.

What types of issues do you help with?

I work with a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, life adjustments, boundary work, and I specialize in marriage counseling and couples therapy. Feel free to call to discuss if I would be the right fit for you, or you can visit My Specialties page to learn about my strongest areas of expertise.

What types of therapy do you use?

I incorporate multiple theories to apply what I believe best fits each client’s needs and challenges. My main framework is through humanistic and cognitive behavioral therapy theories. My couples counseling work is through a relational emotional approach, where you can learn how to better communicate through active listening and empathy.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes! I am in-network with BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna, Cigna, and Optum/United.

How much does therapy cost?

Therapy contract rates can vary greatly depending on your individual plan. I encourage clients to call the number on their insurance card to confirm the payment amount before the first session. The self-pay amount per session is $110 for 50-60 minutes.

How often will we meet?

Therapy is meant to bring relief, not overwhelm you! We will discuss what best fits with your schedule and challenge. In the beginning, I suggest once a week or biweekly.

What can I expect during my first session?

In the first session, we will work to get a better understanding of what is bringing you to therapy and review your symptoms. We will then discuss goals we would like to achieve with our time together.

What days and times are available?

Right now, telehealth appointment times span from Tuesday through Friday, with flexible daytime and evening scheduling to fit your needs, and in-person counseling is available at my Simpsonville office on Thursdays. Because all appointments are scheduled individually, availability varies. Simply fill out the form below to schedule a consultation, and we can discuss which available days and times work for you!

How soon can I schedule an appointment?

This can change from week to week and is based on your schedule’s flexibility. Currently, there IS same-week availability to get you started on your counseling journey! Fill out your information below and I will get in touch with you ASAP.
