How long will therapy last?

The duration of your therapy is entirely unique to your goals. While our sessions are vital, the progress you make often happens through the work you do in your daily life.

I don’t believe in "expiration dates" for healing. Instead, we will regularly evaluate your progress and adjust the frequency of our meetings as your skills and insights become second nature.

Are our teletherapy sessions secure and HIPPA compliant?

Our sessions will take place via Google Meet, which is a HIPPA compliant video conferencing platform. There is no denying that teletherapy is uniquely different from in-person therapy. While we do not meet face-to-face, I still hold creating a safe, productive and healing therapeutic environment as my top priority for my clients.

Do you have any in-person appointments available?

At this time, I am only available for teletherapy sessions for any Michigan resident. In the future, I am hoping to secure a day to offer a space for in-person appointments. With teletherapy, a healing environment can still be created wherever you find comfort and safety from. Sometimes this is from the comfort of your own home, front porch, backyard, a nearby park, your office or car on your lunch break, etc. This provides unique accessibility and flexibility with scheduling therapy into your busy life.

Do you work with children?

While I do prefer to do in-person sessions with children, I am certified nationally as a Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and am able to see children ages 6 and up for teletherapy. If you have a child who you feel would benefit from trauma focused therapy, please schedule a consult so that we can discuss more in depth about providing teletherapy to children and parental partnerships/involvement in therapy services.

What’s your availability?

When we meet during our consultation, we will discuss availability and try to find a time/day that works for both of us. While I try to be flexible and considerate when scheduling clients, I also am mindful and purposeful with my own time to ensure I am holding true to my work-life balance.

What insurances are you paneled with?

I am exclusively providing services for a private pay fee or as an out-of network provider. I can provide proof of treatment for those who do have insurance or an HSA, and are in need of reimbursement from an insurance provider.

As a provider, I am also partnered with Open Path to provide a reduced rate to individuals who meet qualifications. For more information, refer to the Open Path Collective website.

Do you always incorporate movement/yoga into your sessions?

No, and I will never incorporate it without the request and agreement of the client. Therapy is individualized and unique to suit the needs of each client. One of the key factors in any therapy being deemed successful is having established trust, rapport and safety between the therapist and client. That is always my top priority in helping others on their healing journey. The client is the driver and you are in control of your own destination and the roads you take to get there.

How does it work virtually when incorporating movement/yoga?

Great and valid question! The exact same way that it works for any other type of teletherapy. If you choose to take a more structured mind+body approach into your therapy, we will spend dedicated time discussing all of the logistics such as, ensuring you have a safe and private space to move freely, any physical ailments or limitations we need to consider, your own mat/blanket/beach towel if you choose (bare feet on mother nature’s floor is welcomed and even encouraged), what type of poses and/or movement needs to happen prior to talk therapy and why, how long we will practice, etc.
