Help When You Need It

If you're asking this question, it's likely a good sign that therapy could help. Therapy is beneficial for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or wanting to understand themselves better. You don't need a crisis to benefit from talking to a professional. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can explore this together — no commitment needed. You may also find this article on signs of unresolved trauma useful.

The first session is all about getting to know each other. I'll ask questions about your background, what brought you to therapy, and what you hope to achieve. You're also welcome to ask me questions. There's no pressure to share everything right away — we go at your pace. I also like to educate and empower clients from our very first meeting.

Yes! I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish, and bi-cultural. I provide therapy in whichever language you are most comfortable with. Being able to express yourself in your native language can make a significant difference in the therapeutic process.

The length of therapy varies significantly from person to person. Some clients find relief in a few months, while others may benefit from longer-term work. We'll regularly check in on your progress and goals together. Individual sessions are 50 minutes, and most clients meet weekly.

Telehealth therapy happens through secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions from the comfort of your home. Many clients find that telehealth reduces barriers to care — no commute, no waiting room, and the comfort of your own space. Research shows telehealth therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions for most conditions.

I accept a wide range of insurance plans including Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, Ambetter, and many more. I also accept HSA/FSA payments. Self-pay standard sessions are $125, with sliding-scale fees occasionally available when openings allow — please reach out if cost is a barrier. Dedicated EMDR sessions are $250. If you're unsure about your coverage, please contact me and I'll be happy to help verify your benefits.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps your brain process traumatic memories in a new way. During EMDR, you focus on a traumatic memory while following bilateral stimulation (like guided eye movements). This helps your brain "unstick" the memory and store it in a less distressing way. The VA/DoD 2023 Clinical Practice Guideline recognizes EMDR as one of three trauma-focused psychotherapies for PTSD. See services & pricing for EMDR session details ($250; often covered by insurance).
