FAQs

I specialize in helping professionals overcome single-incident blocks that may be impacting their performance, confidence, or emotional well-being.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured therapy designed to help the brain process distressing memories and emotional blocks more effectively. It’s evidence-based and often leads to noticeable improvements in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy.

Yes, research has shown that virtual EMDR can be just as effective as in-person therapy. The key components, including bilateral stimulation and the therapeutic process, remain the same.

It's normal to experience intense emotions during therapy, especially with EMDR. That’s why we focus on resourcing; tools and techniques designed to help you manage difficult emotions outside of sessions.

You only need a device with a camera, microphone, and internet connection, as well as a private space where you can focus. I use Zoom, which is easy to set up, and I will provide any instructions needed should you require assistance.

A stable internet connection is essential for virtual EMDR sessions to ensure effective communication and the use of bilateral stimulation. If you're unable to secure a stable connection, in-person sessions would be recommended for the best experience. We can discuss whether a reschedule or other alternatives are needed, on a case-by-case basis.

I have made the decision not to accept insurance in order to provide a therapy experience that is fully focused on your needs without external limitations. Insurance companies often require specific documentation, diagnoses, and coding, which can restrict the flexibility and depth of care I am able to provide. By not participating in insurance networks, I am able to offer a process that is tailored exclusively to you, with no constraints or interference from third-party entities.

The rate for each session is $200. Payments are due at the time of service, and you can conveniently pay through the client portal.

I accept credit/debit cards, which can be saved on file in your client portal for your convenience.

The first session is focused on understanding your concerns, goals, and how we can work together to create change. It’s also a chance to see if EMDR is a good fit for you.
