What issues do you typically help with?

I work with adult (18 years old and above) individuals, couples, and families dealing with all types of emotional, mental, relational, and behavioral difficulties–anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, work stress, life transitions, men’s issues, and more. Many of my clients are looking to reduce stress, process through difficult emotions, feel more emotionally connected to themselves and others, and build healthier communication patterns in their relationships.

Do you offer both in-person and online therapy?

Yes! In-person is preferable, especially for couples, but I am also available for secure telehealth sessions for clients throughout South Carolina.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Generally speaking, if you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, therapy can help. If you’re having emotional reactions that seem larger (or smaller) than the situation might generally call for, then there’s a decent chance that there is more going on beneath the surface that could help alleviate any emotional or relational pain if it’s processed. 

You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit, and not all crises look the same! You may not perceive the resentment that’s building towards your partner as a crisis, or the distance that’s growing between you, but give it a few years left unchecked, and it may sadly become one. 

Many clients come in simply wanting to better understand themselves or improve their relationships. Worst case scenario, come in for one session, see what you think, and decide for yourself from there.

What can I expect in the first session?

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other, talk through what’s bringing you in, and then go from there. You don’t have to have everything figured out. Just come in and let’s talk.

Do you work with couples who have experienced infidelity or trust issues?

Yes. I often help couples navigate the pain of emotional affairs, betrayal, or disconnection, rebuilding trust and deeper emotional safety over time. I focus on helping both partners feel heard, understood, and supported. Note that this is HARD WORK. Not only is there the pain of the betrayal, but almost always, there were things happening beneath the surface (or even right on top of the surface, plain to see!) that led to the betrayal. We’ll sort through all of that together.

What is your approach to therapy?

My approach blends emotionally-focused, client-centered, and other evidence-based strategies to help clients move through painful emotions rather than stay stuck in them. Put simply, I’m going to help you identify (and fully feel) what you’re feeling and why you’re feeling it. Then, we’re going to come up with some healthy ways to deal with the feelings, beginning with simply putting them into words, which in and of itself can begin to take some of the power away from them. Finally, when possible, you’re going to put them into words with the people you love so that you’re not alone in them. That’s where the healing really begins.

How often will we meet, and how long does therapy last?

Most clients start with weekly sessions, then space them out over time. The length of therapy depends largely on you — some people come for a few months, others for longer-term support.

Do you take insurance?

Yes, I have a limited number of spots reserved for clients using insurance. I am currently in-network with Cigna, Aetna, Quest, Carelon, and Anthem EAP, with many BCBS plans coming soon (mid-December, 2025).

How much does therapy cost?

My session fee for private pay for individuals, couples, and families is $150. I know therapy is an investment, but you’re worth it, and we’ll work together to make sure it’s meaningful and worth your time and resources.

How do I schedule an appointment?

You can reach out by filling out my contact form. I’ll follow up with you to schedule your initial session or a free 15 minute phone consultation if you would prefer.

What is your cancellation policy?

I understand that things come up, so you can cancel or reschedule your appointment with at least 24 hours notice at no cost. If it’s less than 24 hours notice, you will be charged for the appointment. This is because sessions are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis, and your appointment time is reserved specifically for you. 

What if I’m nervous about starting therapy?

That makes sense! Beginning therapy can feel nerve-wracking, but it’s a step toward healing and growth. I do my best to create a space where you feel safe, relaxed, respected, and never judged. Many people–especially couples–wait so long to darken the door of a therapist’s office that by the time they’re reaching out, there are years of anger, hurt, and resentment built up. This especially makes sense why you might be feeling nervous! And I won’t lie to you, the road to healing could be long and hard, but just reach out, let’s talk, and together we’ll find a path forward towards healing and rest, within yourself and with your loved ones around you.
