Services

Variety of services to meet your needs and goals

Individual Psychotherapy

I offer psychotherapy services through Carolina Wellness Psychiatry, PLLC. After our first session, I'll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals.

Psychotherapy Details and Pricing

$220 initial assessment, then $165 per follow-up. Sessions are 45 minutes and available both in-person and via secure telehealth. Sessions are typically weekly or bi-weekly, and most clients work with me for 6–12 months. I welcome clients to return for check-ins anytime—care doesn't have an expiration date.

CBT-I for Insomnia

I trained at Stanford University's Sleep Health and Insomnia Program. CBT-I is a structured, evidence-based approach to improving sleep by gently shifting the thoughts and habits that keep you stuck in restless nights.

CBT-I Treatment Details and Pricing

Over the course of 6–8 sessions, you will explore practical tools like sleep scheduling, relaxation strategies, and mindset shifts so that you can get a good night's sleep.

LCSWA Clinical Supervision

As an NASW-certified supervisor, I offer clinical supervision to LCSWAs across North Carolina. I am most comfortable supervising those working in hospitals or healthcare settings. Supervision is better in person, please only consider me if you are in the Triangle Area.

Supervision Details and Pricing

$75 per hour. Supervision sessions focus on case consultation, professional development, and licensure requirements. Rates and scheduling can be discussed during an initial consultation. Must be located in the Triangle area for in-person meetings.

Social Work Career Consultation

Curious about medical social work or transitioning from medical social work to a private practice? I enjoy connecting with students and early career professionals to explore their path in the field.

Consultation Details and Pricing

$50 per hour. One-time consultation sessions to discuss career paths, licensure requirements, job opportunities, and transitioning between different social work settings. Perfect for students, recent graduates, and professionals considering a change in their social work practice.

Fees and Insurance

I intentionally operate outside of insurance networks. Working together privately means we can shape your treatment without the limitations imposed by insurance companies. This often allows us to:



Skip a formal diagnosis when it isn't clinically necessary

Adjust the length or frequency of sessions to match your needs, not a billing code

Integrate creative therapeutic spaces such as a walk outside.

Focus on what truly supports your growth—not just what's reimbursable



Want to use your insurance benefits anyway? Many patients do. I can provide a superbill that you can submit for potential reimbursement. Depending on your plan, insurance may cover a portion of the session cost.

Initial Assessment (60 min): $220 | Follow Up (45 min): $165

Why Choose Me As Your Therapist?

We will work together in a comfortable and collaborative environment to tackle your unique challenges. I'm ready to be your cheerleader and push you forward towards your goals.

Flexible Scheduling

Sessions are offered during typical working hours, as well as, limited evenings; online and in person.

Complete Privacy

Your business is your business; I don't share information with insurance companies, employers, or any other contacts.

Psychiatry Collaboration

I work with a team of psychiatrists to allow my patients easy access to medication management when indicated.

Proven Results

Patients typically see me for a few months before transitioning to less frequent sessions when their symptoms have largely resolved
