FAQ

  • I am an out-of-network provider. If your health insurance provides out-of-network mental health benefits I will provide you with a super-bill you can submit to your insurance company for potentially up to 90% reimbursement.

  • At this time I am only seeing clients remotely. All sessions are conducted using the HIPPA compliant platform Sessions Health.

  • When we begin working together we will meet on a weekly basis. If you are going through a particularly challenging time or would like to meet more frequently for EMDR sessions we can meet twice a week. If after some time you are feeling comfortable with meeting less often we can move to biweekly sessions.

  • Schedule a consultation on my Contact page. A 15 minute video consultation is a great way to get the process started of seeing if we’re a good fit! We will continue to explore whether we’re a good fit in the first couple of sessions.

  • If you are looking to treat your chronic pain you can work with me as a coach. More info here.

EMDR FAQ

  • Yes, EMDR has been proven to be helpful for a wide range of mental health issues.

  • This is very personal depending on whether we are working with a single incident trauma (i.e. a recent car accident) or complex trauma (i.e. a history of childhood trauma and/or abuse). We will be tracking your progress to create a protocol that works for you. 

  • EMDR therapy is designed to help fully process distressing memories and experiences, allowing the mind to integrate them in a healthier, more adaptive way. The goal is to reduce symptoms such as intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, irritability, flashbacks, and negative shifts in mood or thinking. EMDR not only addresses past traumatic memories but also works to relieve current symptoms, promoting overall emotional well-being.

  • Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of EMDR in a virtual setting. Since the pandemic various secure HIPAA-compliant EMDR platforms have emerged.

  • Absolutely. You do not need to have clear recall of memories in order to do EMDR. Even a vague impression of what occurred is enough to help guide the process.
