FAQs

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy is a complete approach to resolving the effects of unprocessed adverse experiences, including big disruptive events and smaller recurring experiences of feeling like you need too much and are not good enough, all at the same time.

  • EMDR helps the nervous system heal through new experiences of safety and power. This can involve both talking and noticing without words.

  • EMDR Therapy does require some talking, but you don’t have to tell every detail of your experience.

  • Weekly therapy is great for clients who want a consistent therapy home base to work through a range of symptoms and are able to commit to an ongoing schedule. Intensives are great for clients who have unpredictable schedules or are looking to work on one or two specific memories. Weekly clients can also schedule intensives as needed.

  • It might not be. But if it’s sticking with you in a way that feels disruptive to the life you want to be living, it deserves time and attention. EMDR can help resolve the negative effects of a range of unwanted experiences from across your lifespan.

  • EMDR Therapy is a good fit if you are willing to feel some discomfort on your way to resolution and freedom from old patterns. We will work together to set the right pace and build in the right supports for you.

    My practice is a great fit for clients who have had some talk therapy experience, are aware of recurring or stuck patterns, are tired of just talking in circles about the problem and want to do deeper work to reconnect with and heal exiled parts of themselves, increase self trust and self compassion, rewire their nervous system’s response to life’s inevitable stressors and finally live a life free of the limiting beliefs that have held them back from their full potential.

    I provide weekly EMDR therapy and monthly three hour EMDR intensives. If you are looking for more frequent contact than weekly therapy or monthly three hour intensives, I can provide referrals for excellent support groups and providers who offer a higher level of support.

    My practice does not provide active crisis stabilization or regular stabilization between sessions, and may not be suitable for clients with recent psychiatric hospitalization in the past year.

  • I offer in weekly person therapy in New Orleans, Louisiana and virtual therapy statewide across Louisiana.

  • My full fee is $230 for a 50 minute session and $414 for a 90 minute session. I offer limited sliding scale availability. (Please note my sliding scale spots are currently full.)

    I do not accept insurance, but I can provide you with a super bill to send to insurance for reimbursements . A superbill requires a diagnosis that qualifies for reimbursement based on your plan. You may choose to call your insurance provider to confirm eligibility for out-of-network reimbursements.

    First responders may be eligible for ten free EMDR sessions through the Louisiana Trauma Resource Network. Please email louisianatrn@gmail.com if you think you may qualify.

    Additionally, I recommend Open Path Collective, a resource that assists with matching clients to therapists with sliding-scale openings.

  • You’ll complete some paperwork online once we schedule our first session. In our first session, we’ll talk about the flow of EMDR Therapy and begin the first phase. I’ll ask questions to get to know your present symptoms, important people and events in your life and your vision of you living the life you dream of.

Good Faith Estimate

  • Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

    You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

    Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

    You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

    Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

    If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

    Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
