Frequently Asked Questions

What population do you work with?

I am passionate about providing EMDR therapy to adults who are ready to overcome anxiety, low self-esteem, complex grief, trauma, and other self-limiting beliefs. I am licensed in AZ, FL, and SD and work with clients located in those states.

Is EMDR safe and effective?

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

Do you accept insurance?

No, I do not currently accept any insurance plans. However, I am happy to provide a superbill to clients who would like to coordinate reimbursement with their insurance provider.

How much does therapy cost?

I charge 200.00 per 50-minute session.

Where is your office located?

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

If you are a potential client, the first step is to schedule a free “Initial Consultation”. You can fill out the contact form at the bottom of the page or call the office at 727-344-9754 to schedule.

Do you work with couples?

I do not work with couples. My practice focuses on working with adults one-to-one in individual therapy.

What is EMDR Consultation?

EMDR Consultation is a supportive relationship between an EMDR trained therapist and an EDRIA-approved Consultant or Consultant-in-Training. Much like a Clinical Supervisor overseeing a clinician working toward 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 you can also do it for support and learning.
