I do not bill insurance directly, and I want to be honest with you about why.

Insurance companies determine how therapy is structured how long sessions run, how many are approved, and what treatment looks like. For most plans that means 45 minute sessions. That is genuinely not enough time for effective EMDR processing, and structuring the work around those constraints would mean compromising the work itself.

Working outside of insurance means your care is shaped by what you actually need rather than what a system approves.

For weekly sessions I can provide a superbill, a detailed receipt you may submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement. I recommend contacting your insurance company directly to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits before we begin.

EMDR intensives are self-pay only and are not eligible for insurance reimbursement.

The consultation call is a free 15 to 20 minute conversation. It is not an intake session and it is not a commitment. It is simply a chance for us to connect.

During the call you will share a little about what you are carrying and what you are hoping for. I will answer your questions, explain how I work, and together we will get a feel for whether this is the right fit. If you are interested in EMDR intensives specifically, let me know and we can talk through whether that format is right for where you are.

For weekly therapy, the intake session is a standard 60 minute session. For EMDR intensives, the intake is 90 minutes.

During that session I will focus on understanding your current struggles, your goals for therapy, and your personal history. I guide the conversation with specific questions but there is plenty of space for you to share what feels most important. By the end we will have a clear picture of what we are working toward and a plan that feels right for you.

Simple distinction at the top so she knows what to expect based on which path she is on, then the rest of the answer applies to both.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a clinically researched therapy that helps the brain reprocess painful memories and experiences so they stop driving your present-day responses.

Unlike talk therapy, EMDR works at the level of the nervous system rather than just conscious thought. This is why it is effective for women who have spent years gaining insight in therapy and still find themselves stuck in the same patterns. Understanding a pattern and releasing it are two different things. EMDR reaches the second one.

Weekly sessions provide steady, ongoing support. Each session is 50 to 90 minutes and we meet consistently over time. This format works well for many women and allows for gradual, supported progress.

An EMDR intensive is an extended format, typically three hours or more, designed for women who want to go deeper and move faster. Instead of one hour per week with a week of life in between, an intensive gives the nervous system sustained uninterrupted time to actually move through the work. Many women experience more meaningful movement in one intensive than in months of weekly sessions.

The right format depends on where you are, what you are working on, and what your goals are. We can talk through which is the better fit on your consultation call.

Yes. EMDR is one of the most researched and effective approaches for healing childhood trauma. Many women carry experiences from childhood that continue to shape their relationships, their sense of self, and how they move through daily life, often without fully realizing how much those early experiences are still running the show.

EMDR helps the brain reprocess those experiences so they stop feeling so present. The memories do not disappear but they lose the emotional charge that has been driving your responses. What happened becomes something that is genuinely in the past rather than something that is still happening now.

Yes. For women who want their faith to be part of the healing process, I offer therapy that integrates Christian counseling with evidence-based treatment. Your beliefs are not set aside during the work. They come with you.

This means we can bring Scripture, prayer, and your understanding of God into the room alongside the clinical work. For many Christian women, having a therapist who honors their faith rather than treating it as separate from their mental health is one of the most important factors in choosing who to work with.

If faith integration is not something you are looking for, therapy is fully effective without it. You do not need to share my faith to work with me.

I specialize in working with women navigating anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, trauma, and recurring emotional patterns that have not responded to talk therapy alone. My primary modality is EMDR therapy, supported by nervous system-based approaches and Christian counseling for women who want their faith integrated into the work.

The women I work with are often functioning at a high level on the outside and quietly exhausted on the inside. They understand their patterns. They have done the work. They are ready for something that finally reaches the root.

Yes. My practice is specifically designed for women. Everything about how I work, the approach, the language, the focus, is shaped around the particular ways women experience anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, and emotional patterns. That focus allows me to offer something more tailored than a general therapy practice.

Yes. Research consistently shows that virtual therapy is equally effective as in-person therapy for the conditions I treat. Many women actually find the virtual format more comfortable because they can be in their own space, without the added layer of traveling to an office or sitting in a waiting room.

For EMDR specifically, virtual sessions are fully effective. The bilateral stimulation used in EMDR translates seamlessly to a virtual format through eye movement, audio tones, or tapping.
