Frequently Asked Questions

I work with high-functioning adults who often appear calm and capable on the outside, but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally stuck inside.

Clients often come to me for help with:

• Complex PTSD and childhood trauma
• Anxiety, overthinking, and emotional overwhelm
• Burnout and chronic self-doubt
• Perfectionism and difficulty resting
• Relationship patterns shaped by early trauma
• Attachment wounds and inner child work

Many of my clients are medical professionals, first responders, and high-achieving or neurodivergent adults who are exhausted from always having to “hold it all together.”

My work is deeply trauma-informed and integrative. I tailor our work to your goals and nervous system, drawing from:

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
• IFS-informed parts work (Internal Family Systems)
• Narrative and relational therapy

These approaches help process trauma without re-traumatizing, increase emotional regulation, and build a stronger relationship with your internal world.

EMDR is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps you reprocess trauma and emotionally overwhelming experiences at the nervous system level.

Instead of retelling your trauma in detail, EMDR supports your brain in processing the stuck memories that continue to trigger distress.

It's especially effective for:

• PTSD and complex trauma
• Childhood emotional neglect
• Medical or caregiving-related trauma
• Reducing reactivity, avoidance, and dissociation

You'll always have choice and agency in the process.

Sessions are 50-55 minutes and held virtually via secure video for California residents. Each session is grounded in safety and curiosity; we go at your pace.

Some sessions may feel more conversational and insight-focused, while others may include nervous system regulation tools, parts work, or EMDR reprocessing.

Together, we build a path toward healing that honors your history and current capacity.

Yes. Research shows that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for many issues, including trauma, anxiety, and emotional regulation.

Online therapy offers flexibility, comfort, and convenience, especially for busy professionals or those managing multiple demands.

You can attend sessions from the privacy of your own space using a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform.

Most clients begin with weekly sessions to build momentum and trust. As progress is made, we may adjust frequency to best support your goals and nervous system.

We'll collaborate together to find a rhythm that feels both sustainable and effective.

This varies person to person based on your personal experiences, symptoms, and how this impacts you in your life. Some people experience relief within a few sessions, while others may require months, a year, or longer.

Yes. I am partnered with Headway, a platform that handles insurance billing and claim processing, so I am able to accept Aetna, Optum, and UnitedHealthcare plans.

If you are not sure whether your plan is eligible, ask me at the consultation and I can help you check your benefits before you commit to anything.

If you have a PPO plan with out-of-network benefits, you may still be eligible for partial reimbursement. I provide monthly superbills on request, which you submit to your insurance company.

For clients paying out of pocket or using out-of-network benefits, sessions are $175 for a 50-minute appointment. The Investment page carries the full picture, including the cancellation policy and your Good Faith Estimate rights.
