FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. Client rights include:

    • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non‑emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

    • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

    • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

    • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

  • In your first session, we’ll create space for you to share what’s on your mind and what you’re hoping to shift. Together, we’ll build a customized plan that fits your goals, whether you’re seeking clarity, healing, or deeper self-trust.

  • I personalize every session based on your preferences, values, and pace. I integrate modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), allowing us to go beyond talk therapy and into real, embodied transformation.

  • Some clients feel major shifts after a few intensives; others prefer weekly sessions over several months. We’ll regularly check in and adjust based on your needs. There’s no one-size-fits-all timeline. Just consistent, compassionate care.

  • That’s completely normal. I prioritize emotional safety and go at your pace. Many clients start by exploring present-day stressors before digging deeper. We work collaboratively. Nothing is ever forced or rushed.

  • I’m a private-pay therapist and do not bill insurance directly, but I’ll provide you with superbills for potential reimbursement. I accept credit cards, HSA/FSA payments, and partner with Mentaya, a tool that helps streamline your out-of-network claim submissions. You might be able to get reimbursed for out-of-network therapy!

  • I create a flexible, sensory-friendly space, whether that means low lighting, fidgets, or a “video off” session. I never pathologize your neurotype. Instead, I work with your strengths, preferences, and communication style to help you feel safe, heard, and respected.

  • Brainspotting is a somatic therapy that helps release trauma held in the body by accessing eye positions linked to emotional processing. It’s especially effective for anxiety, unresolved experiences, perfectionism, and self-limiting beliefs, making it a powerful tool for trauma-informed healing.

  • Absolutely. Many of my clients are neurodivergent adults seeking support without judgment or pressure to mask. Whether you’ve been formally diagnosed or self-identified, you deserve therapy that understands how your brain works and honors it.

  • Yes! I’m licensed to provide telehealth therapy in both Arizona and Michigan. Whether you live in Chandler or Traverse City, you can access care from the comfort of your home.

    • Initial Appointment (80 minutes): $300

    • Ongoing Sessions (60 minutes): $250

    • Intensives: Rates vary—see Therapy Intensives page

    • 15 Minute Therapy Discovery Call: Free

  • Yes. Research confirms that virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions.
    Many clients even find they open up more easily from the comfort of home, especially those with anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or a busy schedule.

  • While I focus on anxiety, neurodivergence, and trauma, I also support clients with:

    • Depression and emotional overwhelm

    • Body image concerns

    • Grief and loss

    • Sober-curious exploration

    • Identity questions and major life decisions

  • I'm an out-of-network provider. I can give you a Superbill to submit for potential reimbursement, and I work with Mentaya to simplify claim filing. Be sure to check if your insurance offers OON coverage. Check here: mentaya.co/b/Ed2YN1GnokUmQpBYPnFX

  • Yes—through limited availability on Open Path Collective. Please ask about current openings if cost is a concern.

  • Yes. Brainspotting Intensives are a great adjunct to your existing therapy. Many of my clients continue working with their primary therapist and use intensives to accelerate specific goals or address deeper blocks. With your permission, I can collaborate with your provider for seamless care.

  • Brainspotting is often described as more intuitive and somatic. While EMDR is structured around memory reprocessing, Brainspotting allows the body and brain to lead the healing process with less cognitive engagement. It’s especially well suited for neurodivergent clients or those with complex trauma.

  • It depends on your goals and nervous system capacity. Most clients can make significant progress on a single focus area in 1–2 blocks. We’ll discuss this during your intake session and adjust as needed.

  • Yes. I provide virtual Brainspotting Intensives to clients anywhere in Arizona or Michigan, using secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth.

  • Absolutely. My practice is neurodiversity-affirming and tailored for adults who want support without masking or pathologizing. Brainspotting and IFS help clients build emotional regulation, reduce anxiety, and reconnect with parts of themselves that have been shut down by overwhelm or burnout.

  • Absolutely. Many therapists I work with use Brainspotting and parts work but are not on the certification track.

  • Yes! While I’m based in Chandler, Arizona, I offer Brainspotting consultation and mentorship to practitioners globally. As long as we can find a time that works across time zones—and there are no language barriers—I’d be honored to support your professional growth, wherever you’re located.

  • Relational, collaborative, and attuned. I’ll offer guidance, but we’ll follow your lead and your questions.

  • You’ll need to complete Phase 1 & 2, plus 6 consultation hours with a Certified Consultant. I can walk you through the full process.
