Experiences & Payment Options

I specialize primarily in the treatment of chronic illness, trauma, abuse, and anxiety disorders with adults. I work with the client to tailor each therapy goal with the client’s individual needs. I utilize a multitude of evidenced based approaches, including CBT, EMDR, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, as well as other compassion driven approaches.

EMDR is a treatment technique that facilitates the reprocessing of traumatic memory. Scientific research has established EMDR as an effective for the treatment of post-traumatic stress, phobias, panic attacks, anxiety disorders, stress, sexual and physical abuse, disturbing memories, complicated grief and addictions. EMDR seems to unlock the nervous system and allows the brain to process a traumatic experience. The images, sounds and feelings are no longer relived when the event is brought to mind. The event is still remembered, but the painful thoughts, emotions, and sensations associated with it are removed. EMDR can be thought of as a physiologically-based therapy that assists the brain in making sense out of disturbing material and then storing that material away in a more normal process of memory. It is important and beneficial for the client to remember that it is the client’s own brain that is doing the healing.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT is a short-term, problem-focused psycho-social form of treatment that helps identify the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT is an evidence-based approach that aims to improve mental health through challenging cognitive distortions and developing healthy coping strategies.

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is an approach to psychotherapy that focuses on a collaborative method between mindfulness meditation practices and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Techniques. Motivational Interviewing is a therapeutic technique that aims to help individuals resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities through the exploration of internal motivation.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your health care will cost

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have certain types of health care coverage or who are not using certain types of health care coverage an estimate of their bill for health care items and services before those items or services are provided.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any health care items or services upon request or when scheduling such items or services.

If you schedule a health care item or service at least 3 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 1 business day after scheduling. If you schedule a health care item or service at least 10 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after scheduling. You can also ask any health care provider or facility for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you do, make sure the health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after you ask.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more for any provider or facility than your Good Faith Estimate from that provider or facility, you can dispute the bill.

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate and the bill.
