FAQs

I currently take Aetna, Cigna, and BCBS.

If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide the necessary documentation for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Many clients have successfully received partial reimbursement this way.

I have availability Tuesday-Fridays for online therapy. 

When you receive your meeting link, I’ll also send a separate link specifically for EMDR sessions. All you’ll need is a laptop and wired headphones. The EMDR platform includes both visual and auditory bilateral stimulation options.

​

I’ve found that virtual EMDR can be just as effective as in-person sessions and sometimes even more so as it allows you to process in the comfort and familiarity of your own home.

You can reach out through the contact page to schedule a consultation. This allows us to briefly discuss what you’re looking for and determine if we’re a good fit.

​

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable. You don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out.

The first session is primarily about getting to know you. Some clients prefer to ease in and share background; others want to jump right into what’s most pressing. There is no “right” way to begin.

​

You will be met with warmth, curiosity, and non-judgment.

The length of therapy depends on your goals, history, and the depth of work you want to engage in. Trauma-focused therapy often takes time, as we move at a pace that respects both safety and meaningful change.

Please cancel within 24 hours of your session time to avoid being charged the full rate of a session. For example, if your session is Wednesday at 3 pm, please cancel by Tuesday at 3 pm to avoid the fee. Any additional notice is always appreciated!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand, therapy may be helpful. You don’t need to be in crisis to start. Many clients begin therapy because they’re tired of surviving and want to feel more regulated, grounded, and clear in their lives.

​

You also don’t need to have all your trauma “figured out.” We sort through that together.

I specialize in trauma therapy, particularly complex and developmental trauma. I also work with anxiety, depression, postpartum challenges, life transitions, relationship stress, and identity struggles.

​

Many of my clients are insightful and high-functioning but internally feel overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a research-supported therapy that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they no longer feel as intense or triggering.

​

Rather than just talking about what happened, EMDR allows your nervous system to digest experiences that may feel “stuck.” We always prioritize stabilization and safety before beginning reprocessing.

Parts work (often influenced by Internal Family Systems) helps you understand the different “parts” of yourself that developed to cope.

​

For example, you may have:

• A part that is highly critical

• A part that avoids conflict

• A part that feels anxious or overwhelmed

Instead of trying to eliminate these parts, we work toward understanding and integrating them. This often builds self-compassion and clarity.

No. Healing does not require recounting every detail. Trauma work is paced intentionally and collaboratively. We focus on building safety and regulation first, then move into processing when it feels appropriate.

​

You are always in control of how much you share and when.

Trauma and chronic stress often live in the body, not just in thoughts. Somatic therapy focuses on helping you tune into physical sensations, build regulation skills, and create a sense of internal safety.

​

This can be especially helpful if you experience dissociation, tension, feeling “on edge,” or difficulty calming down.
