Modalities
The primary approach I draw from is, mind and body experiencing, however I utilize other approaches to help my clients reach their goals. I find that it allows individuals to take a closer look at where they are in their lives in the present moment. While I do explore past trauma, I find that understanding where you are in the present moment will allow a different perspective on who you are as an individuals and who you want to be.We can not change the past, but as we process your experience and move forward, you can grow into a healthier, emotionally intelligent individual. The present can be challenging and my goal is to help you to see how far you've come and how to connect with yourself in a compassionate way. As you learn self-compassion, I am here to guide you in exploring what your deepest needs are. I am also here to guide you in the process of how to meet those needs. FAQs
Do you take insurance?Yes! I am in network with Aetna and Cigna. I can also provide a super-bill for possible out of network reimbursement with your insurance company. You will need to contact your insurance company to see if this is covered under your plan. I've never been to therapy, what can I expect?We all have a story and I am here to provide a safe and caring environment to tell yours. You can expect for me to provide a compassionate environment to allow sorting out through your thoughts, feelings and discomforts. My goal is that you can ultimately have a deeper connection and understanding of who you are and how you relate to the world around you. I am here to support and be a guide, but ultimately you take the lead in your own individual healing journey.Do you do consultations?Yes! I do a free 20-minute phone consultation before scheduling your intake appointment. The first couple of sessions are a trial period. This allows us to decide if we are a good fit for each other. How long does therapy last?
This is totally up to you. At the beginning of our work together we will explore therapeutic goals, it is totally okay if these goals change as we continue to meet. At first, I recommend meeting weekly to provide consistency, but once you reach your therapeutic goals we can discuss how you want to proceed with our work together.
How will I know we are a good fit?
It's different for everyone. Part of being a good fit is feeling comfortable with the therapist. This may not happen in the first session and can take some time to build. However, if after the trial period we feel that we are not a good fit for each other and I am not able to support you with your presenting issues, I will be happy to give you referrals to get you to someone who would be better suited to work with you.
Do you speak any other languages?
Yes! I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish.
What is the federal “No Surprise Act”, and what does that have to do with therapy?Under Section 2799B-6 of the federal Public Health Service Act, also called the “No Surprises Act,” you have a right to receive a “good faith estimate” explaining how much your therapy services will cost. For more information about the Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call the federal Health & Human Services Department at 1-800-958-3059.
