FAQ

  • Do you take insurance?

    Yes, I am in network with Anthem, Aetna, and Ambetter. Currently, I am only accepting private pay clients for the open spots on my caseload, as I keep a quota for the portion of my caseload that is insurance clients. When I am ready to take on more insurance clients, I will update my website accordingly.

  • Do you keep a waitlist?

    Yes, please reach out if you are interested and would like to be added to my waitlist.

  • You seem to specialize in complex trauma and I'm not sure I have that. Are we a good fit?

    The type of therapy I do lends itself well to clients with all sorts of different struggles, even if they’re not complex trauma clients. Usually the difference would be that clients without complex trauma would not be in therapy nearly as long. They work through whatever they feel they need to and then therapy is finished until they feel like they need it again.

  • I struggle to feel emotions in my body. Can I do these types of therapies?

    Yes, and in fact you might benefit from them more than clients who can easily notice body sensations and how emotions feel in the body. Part of how I help clients like you is improving the ability to notice how emotions feel in the body at the start of therapy, which then makes it much easier for clients to reach their therapy goals. It also tends to improve emotional awareness and can help them start to improve their relationships.

  • I see myself as pretty logical and rational. What's the benefit of being more emotional?

    Being logical and rational can be a real strength, especially in certain careers where you have to make difficult decisions that can affect others. Generally, clients that are very logical can be far removed from their emotions as a sort of tradeoff, which can also impact their relationships with others and understanding themselves. Their partners may want them to be more emotionally attuned and that is hard for them to do when they are so used to being ‘logical’. Being emotionally disconnected also means not fully experiencing positive emotions like love, happiness, excitement, etc. Ultimately, we want to find a healthy balance between your emotional self and logical self.

  • I feel my emotions way too much. Can these types of therapies help me?

    Certainly. There are a lot of benefits to being really in touch with your emotions and the emotions of others. But an unfortunate consequence is that people who feel emotions more deeply also tend to hurt more deeply. They can struggle to let go of hurt even when they want to. This can lead to lots of anxiety or being flooded by their emotions at times. When emotions linger it can sometimes impact their relationships by making it hard to forgive others because they are still carrying that hurt. The modalities I use can help you find a better balance of being in tune with your feelings without getting overwhelmed by them.
