FAQs

It’s completely normal to have questions before starting therapy. Below you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions about what to expect, how sessions work, and how I approach the therapy process. My goal is to make things as clear and comfortable as possible from the start.

1 

Do you take insurance?

I do not accept insurance at this time. 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.

2

What is my schedule like?

I have availability Tuesday-Fridays for online therapy.

How does virtual EMDR work?

When you receive your meeting link, I’ll also send a separate link specifically for EMDR. All you’ll need is a laptop and wired headphones. The EMDR link includes both visual and auditory options. I find that virtual EMDR can be just as effective as in-person sessions, sometimes even more so, as you’re able to process in the comfort of your own home.

What are the next steps?

You can reach out for a free 15 minute consultation. If it feels like the right fit, we can then schedule you for a full session. You can reach out via this website, by email, or by phone, whichever is best for you. 

5

What does a first session look like?

Your first session will depend on what feels most helpful for you. Sometimes it’s a relaxed conversation where I learn more about you and your goals. Other times, we begin preparing for EMDR and discussing what that process looks like. You won’t need to share every detail of your trauma unless you want to. I know how tiring it can be to bring a new therapist up to speed!

6

How long does therapy take?

While my work often involves longer-term therapy, EMDR tends to facilitate deeper change more quickly than talk therapy alone. Some clients meet their goals within six months, while others need years. Healing isn’t a race and each person’s process unfolds in its own way.

7

What is your cancellation policy?

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!

What if I don't know which approach would be best for me?

That is totally fine! We can discuss what you've been struggling with and explore treatment options together. You also don't have to commit to any specific modality/approach. As you progress, we can always adjust approaches as needed.
