Frequently Asked Questions

Our first session is a gentle, spacious beginning. We’ll explore what brings you in, what feels pressing or heavy right now, and what you hope will shift. I’ll walk you through how I work, answer your questions, and together we’ll begin shaping a plan that feels supportive, doable, and aligned with your needs. There’s no pressure—just room for you to land and be met.

Most clients meet weekly, especially in the beginning. Weekly sessions support nervous system regulation, consistency, and deeper therapeutic momentum—particularly in trauma and anxiety work. As your system stabilizes and you’re nearing the natural end of treatment, we may shift to biweekly sessions as part of a thoughtful step-down process. Frequency is always intentional and grounded in what genuinely supports your healing.

There’s no one-size-fits-all timeline. Some people come in for short-term support around something specific; others choose longer-term work to address trauma, patterns, or deeper emotional themes. We check in regularly about what’s shifting and how therapy is feeling.

Many clients find me after talk therapy didn’t create the shifts they were looking for. EMDR and IFS work directly with the nervous system—not just thought patterns—helping shift what’s been stuck beneath the surface. This often feels more embodied, more effective, and more sustainable.

Clients often come to me for support around:
• Trauma & PTSD
• High-functioning anxiety
• Emotional overwhelm or burnout
• Parenting stress or raising big-feeling kids
• Grief & complex grief
• Perimenopause and hormonal transitions
• Caregiving stress
• Chronic worry, guilt, or self-doubt
• Feeling stuck in old patterns
• Disconnection from self or difficulty regulating emotions

IFS is a gentle, evidence-based therapy that helps you connect with the different “parts” inside—like the protector, the overwhelmed part, the anxious part, or the part that shuts down. Instead of forcing change, we learn what each part needs and how it has been trying to help you. Over time, this creates more inner clarity, compassion, and steadiness.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps your brain and body process experiences that feel stuck, overwhelming, or unfinished. Through bilateral stimulation (often eye movements or tapping), EMDR helps your nervous system release the charge of old triggers so you can respond from the present—not past wounds. EMDR is effective for both single-event trauma and complex histories.

Yes. EMDR intensives are longer, more focused sessions designed for deeper healing in a shorter amount of time. They may be helpful for clients preparing for a transition, those with limited weekly availability or who can’t keep a regular weekly schedule like medical workers, or anyone wanting to move through trauma work more efficiently.

I work with individual adults, with a specialty in supporting parents, caregivers, trauma survivors, and individuals navigating major life transitions such as perimenopause, divorce, postpartum shifts, grief, or caring for aging parents.

You can begin by reaching out through my website contact form, email, or phone. I’ll follow up with a short consultation so we can connect, explore what you’re looking for, and make sure my approach is the right fit. If it feels aligned, we’ll set up your first appointment and I’ll send your intake paperwork and all the information you need. My goal is for the process to feel clear, supportive, and easeful from the very beginning.

Extended sessions give us more time to settle, explore, and integrate without feeling rushed. They’re ideal for trauma work, parts work, or when you want to move more deeply in a single sitting. They also work great for clients whose schedule doesn’t allow for consistent weekly therapy.

90-minute EMDR session — $360
A wider, slower space for resourcing, reprocessing, and integration.
Recommended frequency: can be scheduled bi-weekly for clients wanting deeper work without weekly extended sessions.

2-hour EMDR intensive — $475
A powerful format for accelerated progress. This length allows us to complete full EMDR reprocessing cycles in one visit and include more regulation and integration time.
Recommended frequency: often scheduled monthly or bi-weekly for focused, intensive support. Or for shorter term work 1-2 times a week

My current fee for a standard 50-minute session is $ 220. I am an out-of-network provider but can provide superbills for reimbursement if your insurance plan offers out-of-network benefits.

I reserve a limited number of reduced-fee spots for clients experiencing financial hardship. If those spots are full, I’m happy to discuss options or share referrals.

I am an out-of-network provider. I don’t bill insurance directly, but I can provide a superbill for possible reimbursement if your plan offers out-of-network benefits.
