Common Questions

Do you accept insurance?

I do not accept insurance at this time. I can accept payment through FSA's and HSA's and can also provide an automatic monthly receipt which you can submit to your insurance carrier for potential reimbursement if you have out of network (OON) benefits.

What modalities do you use?

My work with clients is influenced by so many parts of my own experience coupled with client needs. I am currently training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and have incorporated elements of EMDR in my practice for some time with great results. EFT (Emotion Focused Therapy), and IFS (Internal Family Systems) have also influenced and informed my approach. Mindfulness, breathing exercises, somatic practices, self-compassion, journaling, psycho-education, and yoga are some of the healing vessels that I incorporate into therapy. I am an integrative therapist - I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I endeavor to attune to the person in front of me where they are in the present moment.

How long will therapy take?

Therapeutic duration will depend heavily on the individual and the material they bring to therapy. For example: A couple looking to learn and practice new communication skills in their relationship might have a focused scope of interest that only takes 8-12 sessions. On the other hand, a client who comes wanting to process unaddressed early childhood trauma may expect to be in therapy for a year or longer, depending on so many factors. Generally speaking, the more broad or complex the issues are, the longer therapy will take. It also has a lot to do with other factors, including a client's readiness, availability and commitment to actively engage in therapy and the quality of the therapeutic relationship. Clients may also wish to take breaks from therapy after completing a phase of work or a specific goal.
