    I do not file with any insurance companies but can send a monthly Super Bill which is the document required by most insurance companies for reimbursement. If filing with insurance is important to you, please confirm outpatient mental health coverage prior to your initial appointment. I cannot guarantee reimbursement under any circumstance.

  • Please give at least 24 hours notice via text or voicemail (843-926-1625) to avoid being charged the full session fee.

    Three missed sessions (“no-shows”) will result in termination of the therapeutic relationship. For therapy to be effective, it requires commitment and consistency.
