Q: I’m new to therapy — what can I expect?

A: First of all, welcome. I’m so glad you’re here. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but my goal is to make the process feel grounded, supportive, and empowering from the start.
In our first session, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what you hope to gain, and begin to explore your story at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
You don’t need to have it all figured out, therapy is a space where we make meaning together.

Q: Do you offer a free consultation?

A: Yes. I offer a complimentary 10-minute phone for all new clients. It’s a chance for us to connect, talk about what you’re looking for, and see if we’re a good fit — no pressure or commitment required.
You can schedule this directly by reaching out through my contact form.

Q: Do you take insurance?

A: I am considered an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly — but many of my clients are still able to use their benefits through superbills.
A superbill is a detailed invoice that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. I’m happy to provide these monthly (or as needed), and I’ll walk you through how to use them if it’s your first time.
I also partner with Grow Therapy, which may allow you to use your insurance depending on your plan.

Q: What types of clients do you work with?

A: I specialize in working with:

• Women navigating perinatal or maternal mental health challenges (including PMADs and birth trauma)

• Parents who identify as neurodivergent (ADHD or autism)

• Adults experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, or trauma symptoms

• Adolescents and young adults exploring identity, emotional regulation, or healing from relational wounds

If you’re unsure whether your situation is a fit, reach out — I’ll be honest and help guide you.

Q: Do you offer virtual sessions?

A: Yes — all sessions are held virtually for clients located in Pennsylvania. This allows for more flexibility, comfort, and convenience. Many clients find virtual therapy just as effective as in-person, especially when building consistent support into their routine.

Q: What is EMDR therapy, and how does it work?

A: EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It’s a powerful, evidence-based therapy used to help people process and heal from trauma, anxiety, and other distressing experiences that may still feel “stuck” in the nervous system.

EMDR doesn’t require you to talk in detail about the event. Instead, we focus on identifying how certain memories are affecting you now (emotionally, physically, or in your beliefs about yourself). Then, using bilateral stimulation (like eye movements, tapping, or sound), we help your brain reprocess these memories in a way that’s less distressing and more integrated.

Many clients find EMDR to be empowering and surprisingly gentle. It can be helpful for things like:

• Birth trauma or medical trauma

• PTSD and childhood trauma

• Anxiety or panic

• Negative self-beliefs

• Feeling stuck in cycles of shame, fear, or overwhelm

We’ll go at your pace, and you’ll always stay in control of the process.
