Insurance Accepted:

Please note that I do not file insurance, but will give you a receipt that you can use to file for reimbursement. If you plan to do so, please check with your insurance company ahead of time about their reimbursement policies for out-of-network providers. You should indicate to them that I am a licensed psychologist and that this is for mental health services, which are sometimes handled differently than medical services. Payment is due at the time of service by check or cash.

Areas of Expertise:

I enjoy working with people on a variety of issues such as improving communication, anxiety/stress management, and other life challenges and transitions. I have a special interest in bereavement and other types of grief and loss issues (serious illness, miscarriage, separation/divorce, relationship endings, pet loss, etc.). I enjoy helping clients face challenges and build on strengths. Taking care of your emotional health can increase energy, enhance self-confidence, strengthen relationships, improve work performance, decrease stress, and restore a sense of balance to your life. I believe strongly in the ability of people to change their lives in positive ways.

Background Information:

I am a Charlotte native. After completing my doctorate at the University of Maryland and my clinical internship at UNC-Chapel Hill Medical School in 1987, I remained in the Triangle area for three years as Senior Staff Psychologist at the Developmental Evaluation Center in Raleigh. From 1990 to 1996, I was employed at the Center for Mental Health (now Behavioral Health Center) of Carolinas Medical Center, where I worked with children, adolescents, and families. I have received specialty training in the grief and loss area. I have been in private practice since 1997, where I work with adults and older adolescents.
