I pull from multiple modalities to best suit your needs.
I work from a relational client-centered approach, prioritizing collaboration and our relationship. I am EMDR trained, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed. These modalities, combined with my trauma-informed lens, craft a flexible but supportive space for clients to dive deep.
If you have any questions about my modality or trainings, please ask!

We will meet weekly for one 50-minute session. I find that meeting weekly provides the most meaningful support for my clients. My style of therapy works well for clients looking for long-term care.

Our first few sessions I lovingly call the "story telling sessions". I will need to catch up and hear some history about your experiences to get the full picture of why we are together. After that, we work together to identify areas you are feeling stuck or needing support in. While we have overarching goals that we are always working towards, please know there is space for the week to week things as well! I always say: "what is most pressing comes first!". There is plenty of time to get to all of it. :)
If you are coming for EMDR, this process will look a little different. We will talk through what EMDR treatment will look like together in our first sessions.
“Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges”
Under the No Surprises Act, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
