For those who can’t or don’t want to use health insurance, 50-minute sessions cost between $135-$205 depending on a sliding scale fee based on your income level. We'll clarify your session rate during your free consultation call.

HSA and FSA accounts are a great way to pay for sessions. Most health insurance providers will cover some portion of the cost as "out of network" reimbursement. I am happy to walk you through the process to submit claims for reimbursement

EMDR involves working with distressing memories or experiences while using bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements) to help the brain make new connections. The process is structured and includes preparation, stabilization, and processing phases. Click here for the EMDR International Association’s video about what to expect and more resources

Absolutely! I love working with men and non-binary people. I have found most of my male clients to really enjoy my process. While I have experience with non-binary folks, if gender identity is part of your main concern I won’t be the best fit for you but would be happy to give you referrals to other therapists who specialize in this area.

Trauma-informed therapy recognizes how past experiences can shape the nervous system, emotional responses, and sense of safety. It recognizes your body and nervous system may have been impacted by your experiences (even when your body “wasn’t involved” with the experience), leading to uncomfortable symptoms at times. It emphasizes pacing, collaboration, and choice, rather than pushing for rapid change or emotional exposure.
