Not exactly.

While conversation and insight are part of the process, this work also focuses on subconscious patterns and nervous system regulation - where many automatic emotional and behavioral responses originate.

Rather than relying soley on understanding or willpower, therapy takes a bottom-up approach, working with how experiences are stored in the body and nervous system.  This helps create change that feels embodied and sustainable, not just intellectually understood.

This therapy/experience is often a good fit for adults who are functional, thoughtful, and self-aware, yet feel internally constrained, disconnected, or out of alignment.

Many people who resonate with this work: 

• Think deeply and reflect often
• Sense that old patterns or beliefs are quietly shaping their choices
• Are navigating transitions, identiy shifts, burnout, or emotional stuckness
• Want more than symptom releif - they want understanding, agency, and direction

You don't need to be in crisis.  Curiosity about yourself and a desire for meaninful change are enough.

No - clarity often emerges through the process itself.

Many people begin therapy with a felt sense that something isn't quite right, rather than a clear agenda.  Curiosity, openness, and a willingness to engage honestly are far more important than having answers.

Therapy works best when there is a personal commitment to self-exploration - not perfection, not certainty, just a genuine interest in understanding yourself more fully.

This work integrates insight, emotional experience, and nervous system awareness to support change at multiple levels - cognitive, emotional, and physiological - rather than focusing on one in isolation.

Many people experience meaninful shifts relatively early, especially when approches like EMDR and Brainspotting, which help access and process subconscious and nervous system-based patterns more directly than talk therapy alone.  That said, the pace of change varies, and deeper or long-standing patterns often unfold gradually over time.

Yes.  Therapy is confidential and conducted in accordance with HIPPA regulations and professional ethical standards.

What you share in sessions is protected, with only a few legally required exceptions related to safety, which are explained clearly at the outset.  Confidentiality is not just a policy - it's a foundational part of creating a space where honest, meaningful work can happen.

If you ever have questions about privacy or boundaries, they are always welcome.

I am not in-network with insurance plans.  However, I can provide out-of-network billing for most insurance carriers, with the exception of Medicaid, Medicare, and TRICARE.

Coverage and reimbursement for out-of-network services vary by plan and often involve different deductibles or reimbursement rates.  I recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to understand your specific benefits.

My current fee is $250 per session.  If you have questions about billing or coverage, you're welcome to ask during a consultation or via email at [email protected]

Getting started is simple and pressure-free.

You can begin by scheduling a consultaion, which offers an opportunity to ask questions, get a sense of the approach, and determain whether working together feels like a good fit.  There is no obligation to continue beyone that step.

Therapy is most effective when the decision to begin feels intentional and self-directed.  You're invited to take the next step when it. feel right for you.
