I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and intensively trained Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) clinician. I am passionate about working  with teens and adults to help them feel heard, understood, accepted, and motivated towards change when necessary. I believe therapy is a collaborative process to help you reach your goals and improve your well-being.  Together, we will develop a treatment plan that helps you achieve your goals for therapy. My areas of specialty include suicide, eating disorders, self-harm, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, identity issues, life transitions, and self-esteem. 

I attended Mercer Univeristy where I earned a M.S. degree in Clinicial Mental Health Counseling in 2015.

In my free time, I love to run, drink coffee, and spend time with my husband, friends, family, and two cats.

Together we will design a treatment plan that works for you.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)  is a specialized form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that is used as an effective treatment for emotion dysregulation. DBT focuses on balancing acceptance and change. Acceptance that some things we experience we cannot change and therefore must accept, while other times we may need to accept that we must change; ourselves and/or our enviroment. DBT is a combination approach using individual therapy, phone coaching in between sessions for emergency behavior reduction and skills acquisition, and group skills classes. Clients learn skills for mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that they can apply to creating a life worth living. DBT works well to target multiple treatment goals making it an effective treatment for those struggling with depression, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, borerline personality disorder, eating disorders, dual diagnosis, and chronic suicidal or self-harming behaviors. If you have questions or are interested in learning more about DBT, feel free to discuss this during your 15 minute consultation or first session.

YOUR RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS AGAINST SURPRISE

 MEDICAL BILLS

(OMB Control Number: 0938-1401)

When you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgicalcenter, you are protected from surprise billing or balance billing.

What is “balance billing” (sometimes called “surprise billing”)?

When you see a doctor or other health care provider, you may owe certain out-of-pocket costs,     such as a copayment, coinsurance, and/or a deductible. You may have other costs or have to pay the entire bill if you see a provider or visit a health care facility that isn’t in your health plan’s network.

“Out-of-network” describes providers and facilities that haven’t signed a contract with your health plan. Out-of-network providers may be permitted to bill you for the difference between what your plan agreed to pay and the full amount charged for a service. This is called “balance billing.” This amount is likely more than in-network costs for the same service and might not count toward your annual out-of-pocket limit.

“Surprise billing” is an unexpected balance bill. This can happen when you can’t control who is involved in your care - like when you have an emergency or when you schedule a visit at an in-network facility but are unexpectedly treated by an out-of-network provider.

You are protected from balance billing for:

Emergency services

If you have an emergency medical condition and get emergency services from an out-of-network provider or facility, the most the provider or facility may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount (such as copayments and coinsurance). You can’t be balance billed for these emergency services. This includes services you may get after you’re in stable  condition, unless you give written consent and give up your protections not to be balanced billed for these post-stabilization services.

Certain services at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center

When you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivistservices. These providers can’t balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections  not to be balance billed.

If you get other services at these in-network facilities, out-of-network providers can’t balance  bill you unless you givewritten consent and give up your protections.

You’re never required to give up your protection from balance billing. You also aren’t required to get care out-of-network. You can choose a provider or facility in your plan’s network.

When balance billing isn’t allowed, you also have the following protections:

·       You are only responsible for paying your share of the cost (like the copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles that you would pay if the provider or facility was in-network). Your health plan will pay out-of-network providers andfacilities directly.

·       Your health plan generally must:

o   Cover emergency services without requiring you to get approval for services in advance (priorauthorization).

o   Cover emergency services by out-of-network providers.

o   Base what you owe the provider or facility (cost-sharing) on what it would pay an in-network provider or facility and show that amount in your explanation of benefits.

o   Count any amount you pay for emergency services or out-of-network services toward your deductibleand out-of-pocket limit.

If you believe you’ve been wrongly billed, you may contact: The Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, 404-656-2881, sos.ga.gov
