Questions And Answers
Although I save a few spots on my caseload for insurance clients, I am mostly an out-of-network provider.
This means that my clients pay me directly. If they choose to seek partial reimbursement from their insurance, I will provide a superbill which they can submit to their insurance for potential reimbursement.
I choose to remain an ‘out-of-network provider’ for many reasons.
After spending years in school, many hours to get licensed, and continued time and money on training, I place a high value on my skills. Insurance companies say they value you and me, but their actions speak louder, as they dictate what methods therapists should use and set time limits on healing.
Honestly, no one likes jumping through hoops! Personally, I prefer putting my focus, energy, and time solely on you, because you are far more interesting than insurance companies.

My formal training led me to a BA in Psychology and an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, both from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. After gaining experience in the field, I obtained my License to Practice Counseling, completed EMDR training, and recieved a Reiki Level 2 Certification.
I have worked with children on the spectrum, veterans, survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, in palliative units, and in musical therapy settings.
My internships and work in group practices gave me expansive experience in many forms of mental health, and through developing my own practice I have found I do my best work with neurodivergent adults and people who are exploring spirituality.

In a session using EMDR, you will look at a light bar and follow the lights left to right, and/or have buzzers in your hand that buzz left to right. You do this while thinking about emotional traumas, and we pause between sets to reflect on what is coming up for you.
Continuously over time, sparks of insight come up and guide you to your own answers. As we continue you may see significant changes in yourself and your life!
If your experience of the world feels different from what’s “normal,” there must be something there. While diagnoses can be helpful, it is not a requirement to seek therpay with me.
Trauma can also show itself with similar symptoms, so rather than pigeonhole you into a diagnosis, I focus on understanding your worldview and lived experiences.
So, whether or not you meet the criteria for Autism, ADHD, or other neurodivergent diagnoses, there is work we can do to tap into your potential and create a lifestyle that meets your unique needs.
You will take your shoes off and lie on a massage table, I have various pillows, bolsters, and blankets to adjust to your comfort. I will gently place my hands on energy centers of your body (head, heart, stomach, feet, etc.), with intentions to send the energy into these places.
If you are curious, we can spend some time afterwards reflecting on any intuitive messages I received while working with your energy, and feedback or suggestions I can offer you.
First, gather up any bit of courage you can find.
Next, call me to set up a time free of distraction so that you can take advantage of my free 20-minute consultation.
Most people find the consultation extremely helpful as it clarifies their needs, and they feel validated.
Then, you and I can then determine if we are a good fit to move forward.
Usually this alone can help you feel empowered to take the following steps: fill out some forms, schedule your first session, and move towards a healing path.
