EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy approach that helps the brain process difficult experiences that may still be affecting your nervous system.

Not at all. While I specialize in perinatal mental health, I also support individuals navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, hormonal mood changes, reproductive health concerns, and life transitions connected to reproductive health.
Many clients seek support during periods of change when they want to better understand the connection between their emotional wellbeing and their reproductive experiences.

-
I currently accept insurance through Alma, Aetna and Cigna but I am mostly a private pay practice.
-
Some clients choose private-pay therapy because it allows for greater privacy, flexibility, and the ability to begin therapy without delays.
Private pay can also allow therapy to focus fully on your goals and needs rather than insurance requirements or limitations.

Yes. If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill after each session. A superbill is a detailed receipt that you can submit to your insurance company to request reimbursement. Most clients submit their superbill through their insurance company’s online portal.
-
Reimbursement depends on your individual insurance plan and whether you have out-of-network mental health benefits. Many plans reimburse a portion of the session fee after a deductible is met. I recommend contacting your insurance provider to learn about your specific benefits.
-
After receiving your superbill, you can typically submit it through your insurance company’s online portal or by mail. Many clients find the process straightforward, and some insurance companies reimburse within a few weeks.
