PAYMENT INFORMATION
Each session is 45-60 minutes in duration and payment will be collected prior to the beginning of the session via cash, credit card, or personal check. For clients that are self-pay, the full amount of $175.00 will be collected. I am in network with most major insurance companies if you choose to go through your employer’s benefits/ insurance company.
I received my Master’s Degree in Counseling at Oral Roberts University in 2011,
and initially began working in my discipline with individuals struggling with addiction. I started out as a staff and group therapy counselor, to then becoming the assistant clinical director and finally director of an outpatient agency in New York.
I relocated to North Carolina with my family in 2017 and in April of 2019, I became licensed in North Carolina as a clinical mental health counselor and have worked at amazing group practices that afforded me with many growth opportunities.
As a former director, I take pride in understanding the ins and outs of running a clinical practice, however at the heart of it, the clinical work that is done in session between the provider and client, remain unmatched for me. I remain passionate about helping others achieve their goals and have found that the skills and tools I have acquired along the way continue to equip me with additional resources for treating dual diagnosis populations and establishing my own PLLC. I remain humble at the opportunity I have to be a part of my each and everyone of my clients’ journey toward healing and renewed hope.
CONFIDENTIALITY AND ANONYMITY
All client records are confidential and part of an electronic health document according to HIPAA regulations. Due to the sensitivity of content discussed in session, clinical records are kept and maintained in compliance with state and insurance guidelines. Some clients choose to not want clinical diagnosis or clinical content shared/provided to insurance companies, and therefore choose to pay out of pocket rates as a result. To further discuss out of pocket rates, see below.
PATIENT'S RIGHTS
Any concerns or issues within therapy should be brought to my attention. You, as the client, have the right to advocate for yourself and I want to empower all of my clients to express concerns, frustrations, and difficulties. If at any time you feel as if you are not getting properly treated, you have the right to contact my licensing board. To register a complaint, you can complete a complaint/inquiry form citing the ethical violation as outlined by the American Counseling Association’s Ethical Guidelines. You will then be assigned a complaint number and upon the Board’s quarterly meetings, the ethics committee will reach out regarding what the next steps will be. To obtain this form contact:
