Sessions are generally around $200 each. I do not offer consultations, and all EMDR sessions are self-pay. Please see Rates & Insurance explanation for more details.

No, I am an out-of-network provider. While EMDR is an effective therapeutic modality for various concerns, insurance companies often limit coverage to those with a PTSD diagnosis. Additionally, insurance may not approve sessions longer than 60 minutes, which can restrict my ability to provide thorough and effective treatment.

Although I do not accept insurance directly, I can provide you with a superbill if you wish to seek potential reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits. Many insurance plans with out-of-network benefits reimburse between 50% and 80% of therapy session costs. You may also use your HSA or FSA card to pay for sessions.

Please note: If you submit a superbill to your insurance for reimbursement, they will require a mental health diagnosis.

To determine your out-of-network benefits, consider asking your insurance company:

1. Do I have out-of-network coverage for mental health services such as individual counseling?

2. If so, how many sessions are covered per year?

3. What percentage of the session fee is reimbursed, and what is my responsibility?

4. Is reimbursement sent directly to me?

5. Can payments apply toward my deductible or out-of-pocket maximum?

If I don’t take your insurance, you may still get reimbursed using your out-of-network benefits. I’ve partnered with Mentaya which, for a small fee, submits those claims for you. Use their widget to estimate your out-of-pocket cost.

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements or tapping) to help you process and reframe traumatic memories. Please see a fuller description here.

Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged 100% of the session fee.

I offer traditional 45-90 minute sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM Eastern Time.

Intensives sessions (3 hours or 2 days) are available on weekends.

I provide virtual therapy for women located in Michigan, South Carolina, North Carolina, Colorado, Missouri, and Texas. All sessions are held online through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform.

The first session is an opportunity to get to know each other. We’ll discuss your current concerns, your goals for therapy, and any questions you have. I’ll explain my approach, and together, we’ll decide on the best path forward. Don’t worry. :)

Talk therapy involves processing your thoughts and emotions through conversation, gaining insight, and learning coping strategies. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured therapy that helps you process distressing memories and negative beliefs by using bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping). It’s especially effective for unresolved or long-held stubborn beliefs.

If you feel stuck in patterns of self-doubt, people-pleasing, or struggle with distressing memories that still affect you, EMDR might be a great fit. We can discuss your concerns during the first session and determine whether EMDR or another approach would be best for your needs.

Yes! While EMDR is highly effective for trauma, it’s also great for addressing anxiety, self-esteem issues, perfectionism, and relationship problems.

The number of sessions depends on your individual needs. Some people experience significant changes after just a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. EMDR sessions are considered equivalent to 2+ traditional sessions, which is ideal for business professionals and those interested in attempts of faster resolution and growth.

Rather than a separate consultation, you can go ahead and book a first session. It’s a chance to get a feel for the process and see if it feels like a good fit—no long-term commitment required.

You may consider seeing an out-of-network therapist if:

• You’re looking for a therapist with a unique skill set or a specific niche

• You want highly personalized services (more time and creativity crafting a specialized treatment plan)

• You don’t want a limited number of sessions (some insurance plans only allow a certain number of sessions per year)

• You have a high deductible plan (A deductible is the amount you have to pay upfront before your insurance coverage kicks in. If you have a $5,000 deductible and you haven’t had any other medical expenses yet in the year, you are responsible for paying up to $5,000 in therapy session fees out-of-pocket before your standard copay applies. This is a case where seeing an in-network therapist and out-of-network therapist can accrue similar costs).

• You have good out-of-network benefits (If you have good out-of-network benefits, your insurance company may reimburse you as much as 80% of each session fee, depending on your plan. This means that in some situations, using your out-of-network benefits can actually be more affordable or comparable to your standard copay to see an in-network therapist).

• You don’t wish to use insurance benefits (due to privacy from insurance companies or family)

• You don’t want to wait to start therapy (waiting lists are currently quite long for in-network providers)

• You found a great match (your relationship with your therapist is one of the most important aspects of the healing process)

• You don’t want a diagnosis in your medical record (insurance companies require a diagnostic code from providers when submitting claims/superbills)

• You’re applying for life or disability insurance and don’t want a mental health diagnosis that may limit coverage

• You intend to go into the military or police department and don’t want a diagnosis on record

My practice is primarily centered on working with women, and most of my services are designed with that focus in mind. However, I also welcome individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community and historically marginalized men, when there is strong alignment in values and therapeutic goals. If you’re interested in working together, feel free to reach out so we can explore whether it’s a good fit.

I work with adult women experiencing mild to moderate anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, people-pleasing, perfectionism, life transitions, work stress, and relationship or family dynamics that feel overwhelming or confusing. I also support clients navigating identity shifts, boundary-setting, and burnout.

I work with clients who are ready to explore how past experiences may still be affecting the present. Whether you’re navigating a challenging relationship, trying to shift long-held beliefs, or simply wanting to feel more grounded and confident, we can work through it together.

I understand that many clients have experienced painful or confusing life experiences that may qualify as trauma. While I incorporate EMDR into my work, I focus on single-incident or developmental trauma—not complex or chronic trauma histories.

I do not treat severe depression, complex trauma, grief, eating disorders, personality disorders, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, substance use disorders, or other severe or chronic mental illnesses.

Because I work solely online, I do not offer crisis services. I do not treat clients who are currently suicidal, have had a recent suicide attempt, or are in need of a higher level of care. Your safety and well-being are the top priority, and I can provide referral options if you’re looking for support outside my scope.

Insurance often comes with conditions that don’t serve real healing. To qualify, you usually need a diagnosis—sometimes one that stays on your medical record even if it doesn’t fully capture your experience. Sessions may be capped. Your treatment plan may be reviewed by someone who’s never met you, just to justify why you’re in therapy.

That’s not therapy. That’s oversight.

I believe therapy should be confidential and guided by you—not limited by policy codes or paperwork. In a private-pay setting, we decide how often we meet, what we work on, and how long the process unfolds. You’re not just a case to be approved—you’re a person with a story, and that story deserves space to be explored on your terms.

I’ve also found that removing insurance creates more clarity in the relationship. No surprise bills. No chasing reimbursements. Just direct, intentional care.

I know private-pay therapy is an investment. It’s also a powerful commitment—to yourself, your wellbeing, and the life you’re working to create.

If you’re looking for therapy that honors your voice and isn’t dictated by insurance, you’re in the right place.
