FAQs

What can I expect during the consultation appointment?

A consultation is a chance for us to connect, talk through what’s bringing you in, and explore what kind of support you’re looking for. You’re welcome to ask any questions and get a feel for whether this feels like a good fit for you. This also allows me to get a sense — if what I provide and specialize in fits what you need and what you’re looking for. The consultation is approximately 15 minutes and is a free service.

Who do you work with?

I work with adult women navigating pregnancy anxiety, birth trauma, fertility challenges, miscarriage, and postpartum mental health. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, grieving, or making sense of past experiences, you’re not alone—this space is here to support you.

Many women I work with also carry experiences of complex trauma, along with challenges related to hormonal changes, menopause, or conditions like endometriosis, and pelvic pain. Together, we create a space that honors your full experience.

What is complex and developmental trauma?

Complex and developmental trauma are the experiences we’ve been through often early in life and childhood. These experiences often leave us feeling stuck in the past, on edge, reliving memories, and feeling disconnected from ourselves and relationally. It is often the result of repeated events or experiences that have been prolonged and can occur over the course of life.

What does weekly therapy look like?

Weekly therapy provides consistent support and space to focus on what matters most to you.

Therapy with me is collaborative and purposeful. We work toward meaningful progress, and when appropriate, sessions may transition from weekly to biweekly to support continued growth. Eventually—when you feel ready, we will thoughtfully bring our work to a close in a way that honors your progress and feels supportive, not abrupt.

What does an EMDR Intensive look like?

EMDR intensives are extended sessions designed to support deeper, more focused work over a shorter period of time. This format can help create meaningful progress and momentum, especially if you’re feeling stuck or want more concentrated support.

Intensives may be a good fit if:

-You’re a busy mom and you don’t have time for weekly therapy.

-You’re ready to experience progress in a shorter, more immersive format.

-You feel stuck and you’re thinking “I’ve talked about this before” and I want something deeper.”

- For some the standard 50 minute session feel too brief to fully honor your nervous system. Extended sessions create the space needed for deeper processing and nervous system regulation —so the work feels contained, intentional, and supportive from beginning to end.

Can I use insurance for an EMDR intensive?

Intensives are offered as a self pay package. You can contact your insurance plan to find out about your out of network benefits and potential reimbursement via super bills.

Are sessions virtual or in person?

Individual therapy and EMDR intensives are offered virtually. Walk & Talk sessions are available in person for those who prefer a movement-based, outdoor approach and are local to Frederick Maryland.
