High-Achieving on the Outside. Exhausted on the Inside.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) — is a highly effective evidenced-based therapy modality that helps process and reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories while keeping you supported in “here and now” state. You can learn more about EMDR therapy here. 

Insurance companies often impose strict restrictions on mental health providers and may determine for the clients which types of treatment and therapeutic modalities are covered. When mental health services are billed through insurance, insurers decide the type, frequency, and duration of treatment they consider medically necessary, which can significantly influence the flexibility, continuity of care, and range of therapeutic modalities used in treatment.

I intentionally created a private-pay practice because it allows me to provide personalized, high-quality care without the restrictions imposed by insurance companies. This approach offers greater flexibility, privacy, and the ability to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs. Private-pay therapy allows us to focus fully on your treatment needs while also protecting your confidentiality and the privacy of your clinical records.

With over 22 years of clinical experience and advanced training in EMDR, IFS, Somatic and other evidence-based therapies, I offer a highly individualized, integrative approach to each client rather than relying on standardized, manualized, or one-size-fits-all treatment.

With an expertise in treating complex trauma, attachment wounds and relationship difficulties, my practice is designed for individuals seeking highly specialized treatment and depth-oriented work. Many of my clients come to my practice after trying therapy elsewhere, sometimes for years, and are seeking deeper work and lasting change that goes beyond surface level symptom relief.

Each process is thoughtfully tailored to the individual, drawing from evidence-based modalities to address longstanding emotional and relational pattern, heal past traumas and relational wounds, work through old believes that don’t support you, and create a new relationship with yourself and others.

It is worth exploring your Out-of-Network (OON) benefits directly with your insurance provider. Many clients are pleasantly surprised to learn that therapy can become more affordable when they utilize their OON benefits. Because coverage varies across insurance plans and carriers, I encourage you to contact your insurance provider directly to inquire about your specific benefits.

While I do not participate directly with any insurance plans, I can provide a monthly superbill upon request, which you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.* This means that you pay for sessions at the time of service and then submit the superbill to your insurance provider for reimbursement according to your plan's OON benefits.

*Please note that all superbills submitted for Out-of-Network reimbursement include a mental health diagnosis and treatment codes, as required by insurance companies.

Under the No Surprises Act, health care providers are required to provide clients who are not using insurance with a Good Faith Estimate of the expected costs of services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining the anticipated cost of your mental health care services before beginning treatment. At your first appointment I will provide you with a Good Faith Estimate that will include the explanation of the projected cost of therapeutic services in a 12-month period.

Please note that the Good Faith Estimate is not a contract and does not obligate you to receive services. Factoring in that therapy treatment is individualized; the actual number of sessions and total costs may vary over time.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.
