Frequently Asked Questions

Therapy is a collaborative process — we’ll set goals together and move at a pace that feels safe for you. Sessions often focus on increasing self-understanding, learning regulation skills, and working through the emotional impact of life experiences.

Every session is 50 minutes and takes place either in-person in Gilbert or via secure telehealth for clients anywhere in Arizona.

You can request a free 15-minute consultation by calling or texting (480) 656-9174, or by sending me an email. During this brief call, we’ll discuss what’s bringing you in and whether my approach feels like a good fit.

Standard 50-minute sessions are $165. Extended sessions (for deeper EMDR work) are available upon request and billed proportionally.

A limited number of sliding scale spots are available for clients experiencing financial hardship — please ask if cost is a concern.

You can read more on the Fees & Billing page for full details.

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly.

If your plan offers out-of-network reimbursement, I can provide a superbill — a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurance company.

Reimbursement varies by plan, so I recommend contacting your provider to ask about:

• Coverage for “out-of-network mental health services”

• Your deductible and reimbursement rate

• Any preauthorization requirements

I’m happy to walk you through these questions if you’re unsure where to start.

I accept credit/debit cards and HSA/FSA cards.

Payments are processed securely through the electronic health record platform at the time of each session.

Yes. I provide secure telehealth counseling for residents anywhere in Arizona.

Telehealth allows flexibility for busy schedules or those who prefer the comfort of home. All sessions are conducted through a HIPAA-compliant video platform that protects your privacy.

My work focuses on:

• Trauma recovery and EMDR therapy

• Grief and loss

• Betrayal trauma

• Anxiety and emotional overwhelm

• Women’s mental health (including postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause transitions)

Each session is trauma-informed and tailored to your individual needs.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based approach that helps the brain and body reprocess distressing memories.

Through guided bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping), EMDR helps reduce the intensity of emotional triggers tied to past experiences.

It’s not hypnosis or “erasing memories” — rather, it allows the nervous system to file those experiences in a way that feels less overwhelming.

Sessions are paced carefully for safety and readiness.

Appointments are reserved specifically for you.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice to avoid being charged the full session fee.

I understand that emergencies happen, and we’ll discuss exceptions when appropriate.

That uncertainty is completely normal. You don’t have to commit right away — our consultation is a no-pressure space to explore what you need and whether therapy feels right for you.

Many clients find that simply having a consistent, supportive place to process life’s challenges helps them feel more grounded and capable over time.

Under the No Surprises Act, clients not using insurance have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected therapy costs.

This estimate is provided after your intake paperwork is complete and before ongoing therapy begins.

You can learn more about your rights on the CMS website.
