Yes. I’m in-network with Cigna, BCBS/Florida Blue, TRICARE, and UHC/Optum. I’ll verify your benefits before we get started so you have a better idea of what to expect. Your exact cost will depend on your individual plan, including your copay, deductible, and coverage. You are ultimately responsible for any costs not covered by your insurance plan.
If you don’t see your insurance listed, you may still have out-of-network benefits. Visit the Fees & Insurance page for more information about your options.

My private pay fee is $155 for a 50-minute individual therapy session. A limited number of reduced-fee appointments may be available. Please ask about current availability.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a therapy approach that helps you process traumatic memories and reduce the symptoms connected to them. It uses bilateral stimulation — like eye movements or taps — while recalling distressing experiences, which helps your brain naturally heal. EMDR can be effective for anxiety, PTSD, trauma, and phobias. If you have been carrying something painful for a long time and haven't been able to move past it, EMDR may be worth exploring together.

Neuroscience informed therapy looks at what’s happening in your brain and nervous system, not just what you’re thinking. I use this understanding throughout my work to help make sense of reactions that can feel automatic, overwhelming, or hard to change with logic alone. Rather than assuming you should be able to think your way out of what you’re feeling, we look at why your brain and body may be responding the way they are and work with those patterns differently.
This perspective informs how I use approaches like EMDR and IFS and how I work with anxiety, trauma, burnout, and other patterns that can leave you feeling stuck.

We all have different parts of ourselves. You might have a part that worries, a part that overthinks, a part that tries to keep everyone happy, or a part that reacts strongly when something feels threatening. IFS, or Internal Family Systems, looks at these parts like a family system inside of you.
Each part matters. Some parts carry old wounds, while others have learned ways to protect you from getting hurt again. In therapy with me, we get curious about these different parts instead of trying to get rid of them. We work to understand what they are protecting, what they need, and why certain reactions can feel so hard to control.

AI can answer your questions at 2am and that has value. It can be a helpful resource between sessions for information, journaling prompts, and reflection. But there is no algorithm for healing. Therapy is a human experience built on trust, vulnerability, and a real relationship that deepens over time. The kind of knowing that comes from building a relationship with someone over time, being truly seen and challenged with honesty, cannot be replicated by a screen. You deserve that kind of care.
