Frequently Asked Questions

What population do you work with?

I work with adults who reside in Arizona, Florida, or South Dakota. I am passionate about providing trauma-focused individual therapy to help adults’ overcome anxiety, low self-esteem, phobias, complex grief, trauma, and other self-limiting beliefs.

Is EMDR safe and effective?

Yes, EMDR is both safe and highly effective when practiced by a trained and certified therapist. Decades of research show that EMDR is one of the most effective treatments for trauma, anxiety, and other distressing life experiences. Additionally, it can be done in-person or via telehealth. EMDR is endorsed by leading organizations such as the American Psychiatric Association, the World Health Organization, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Do you accept insurance?

I accept several major insurance plans. Utilizing insurance comes with pros and cons, for this reason I also offer the option to pay privately for services.

Where is your office located?

My office is located at: 10300 49th St. N., Clearwater FL 33762. It is easily accessible from Hwy US 19 for the greater Tampa Bay area. I typically offer in-person services on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Additionally, I offer telehealth services Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

How do I schedule?

Both new and existing clients can schedule online through the secure patient portal. Simply click any of the “Book Now” or “Request an Appointment” buttons and it will take you to the secure patient portal. If you are a potential client, then the first step is to schedule a free “Initial Consultation”. If you are an existing client, then you can log into the portal to schedule or change appointments. The portal allows you to view, and schedule, up to two months in advance.

What is EMDR Consultation?

EMDR Consultation is a supportive relationship between an EMDR trained therapist and a EDRIA Approved Consultant or Consultant-in-Training. Much like the role of a Clinical Supervisor who oversees a clinician that is working towards licensure, the Consultant helps the Consultee develop confidence, skill, and expertise in the art and science of EMDR. Consultation is required to become an EMDR Certified therapist, but it can also be done simply for the sake of support and learning.
