Frequently Asked Questions
How do we meet?
When we meet virtually we use a HIPAA compliant video chat service. The login details sent directly to you via email or text. When we meet in person for intensives, we will meet my office, located at 3502 Scotts Lane, Philadelphia, PA 19129. Tere is free parking at the office and is a short walk from SEPTA transportation.
I'm interested in an EMDR intensive. What do I do next?
First, you would schedule a good-fit call, and once I have that request I'll send you some assessments to fill out before your call. These help me understand you from a clinical perspective, and our good-fit call lets you fill in the blanks for me.
A Good-Fit consultation call is where we meet briefly and talk about the process of an EMDR intensive and for you to share more about yourself and what you are looking to get out of this process. Referrals are provided if you decide this isn’t the best direction for your healing journey. No pressure - we want you to be comfortable!

Can I use my insurance?
I am an out-of-network providers, which means I won’t bill your insurance on your behalf. That doesn’t mean your insurance won’t help cover the cost of your therapy, it means that I will provide you a statement called a “Superbill” that you submit on your own behalf to your insurance.
Why don't you do other kinds of therapy?
I am a trauma specialist who wants to help people make progress quickly. Once you've begun to experience a new baseline of wellness in your life through a group or EMDR therapy, it'll be time for you to graduate to a therapist who can help you contimue the momentum in your chosen direction. I love it when clients outgrow me! It is our goal to turn down the intensity of your trauma, but once that's done we'll help you figure out what's next.
I don’t think I need a therapy, I just feel stuck in a certain area…
Great! I'm a therapist that believes that there are many ways to heal, and therapy is just one of them. If you're looking to continue on your healing journey but you know therapy isn't the right fit for you, you can check out my other offerings at my facilitation and consultation group, Green Circle Collective. I host workshops, retreats, and facilitate many kinds of healing to help you keep going in your healing.
I have a complex trauma history and I really want some relief, can you help?
I have specialized training in trauma, years of experience working with trauma survivors in therapy, and treat all my clients with a trauma-informed perspective. For complex trauma, we will create a baseline of trust and safety in the therapist/client relationship and then determine how to move forward with EMDR intensives. In addition, I do continuing education and get clinical supervision/consultation (oversight and guidance from more advanced trauma professionals in the field) as a part of our commitment to providing the best care for you.
