Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer free consultations?

Yes! I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can connect, talk through what you’re looking for, and see if it feels like a good fit. This is available whether you’re interested in weekly therapy or a Trauma Healing Intensive.

Is EMDR right for me?

EMDR can be incredibly effective for processing trauma, anxiety, or emotional patterns that feel stuck. We’ll talk during your consultation or intake about your goals, your history, and whether EMDR is a good fit for your needs.

What’s the intake and paperwork process like?

After we schedule your intake session, you’ll receive a link to complete intake paperwork online through my secure client portal. This includes your consent forms, history questionnaire, and office policies. You’ll have time to ask questions or go over anything before we begin our work together.

What are your hours and availability?

I offer sessions Monday through Thursday, between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Evening or weekend sessions are not currently available. Intensives are typically offered on select weekdays and Saturdays for the 6-hour format.

What are your fees?

  • 60-minute intake session: $150

  • 60-minute individual therapy session: $140

  • 3-hour Trauma Healing Intensive: $699

  • 6-hour Trauma Healing Intensive: $1,299

Do you accept insurance?

I am in-network with

  • Aetna

  • Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oklahoma

  • HealthChoice

  • Healthcare Highways/WebTPA

  • The Kempton Group

  • Nomi (OKCFD EAP)

  • United Healthcare/Optum/UMR

If I am out of network with your insurance provider, you may have out of network benefits! For this, you would pay my full fee and I will provide you with a “Superbill” to submit to insurance for possible reimbursement. Some clients have been reimbursed up to 70%!

Why do I have to be diagnosed when using insurance?

To bill insurance, I am legally required to assign a mental health diagnosis and submit it for reimbursement. This becomes part of your permanent health record. If you’re unsure whether you want a diagnosis on file, private pay may be a better fit. It allows for more privacy, no required label, and greater flexibility in treatment.

What is a Good Faith Estimate?

Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges. This applies whether you're using insurance or private pay. You’ll receive this before your first session or intensive. Visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises for more information

How often do you see clients?

Most clients are seen weekly or every other week for individual therapy. Trauma Healing Intensives are offered in 3- and 6-hour formats and can be scheduled as one-time or recurring sessions. We’ll choose a pace that supports your healing.

Where are you located?

My office is located in Edmond, OK just off 15th Street. I currently offer in-person sessions for both weekly therapy and intensives. Virtual sessions are available for Oklahoma residents for intake, follow-up, and ongoing weekly therapy.

Do you work with couples?

I work with adults for individual therapy only. If you’re navigating relationship issues, we can explore your side of the dynamic in depth. I do not offer couples counseling.

What makes your approach different?

I blend EMDR, parts work, and somatic strategies to support deeper, lasting change. My approach is grounded in attachment and nervous system regulation. Clients often say they feel seen, safe, and able to go deeper than in previous therapy experiences.

What if I’m nervous about starting?

That’s totally normal. You don’t have to have all the answers before you reach out. Most people feel unsure in the beginning—especially if therapy is new or past experiences didn’t feel helpful. We’ll go at a pace that works for you.
