Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What kind of therapeutic methods do you primarily use?
A: I draw from trauma-informed approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and the IBRIDO method. These tools help integrate emotional healing with practical strategies for everyday life.
Q: How does therapy help clients make positive changes in their life?
A: Therapy provides both insight and action. We’ll identify what’s been keeping you stuck, and then build step-by-step ways to move forward. Change often begins with small shifts in how you relate to yourself and others, creating momentum for deeper transformation.
Q: How does therapy help clients cope with challenges and manage stress?
A: Stress is often the body’s way of signaling overload. In sessions, we practice grounding, mindfulness, and cognitive reframes. More importantly, we uncover the roots of stress so you’re not just managing symptoms — you’re reshaping the way you respond to life.
Q: What insurance do you accept?
A: I currently accept Aetna and BCBS commercial plans. For out-of-network benefits, I partner with Mentaya to simplify reimbursement. Many clients also choose self-pay for flexibility.
Q: What are some common mental health issues or concerns you can help me with?
A: Anxiety, low self-esteem, boundary struggles, intimacy challenges, chronic illness, trauma recovery, perimenopause and midlife transitions. Each woman’s story is unique, so we tailor therapy to your lived experience.
Q: How long will I need to be in therapy?
A: The length of therapy depends on your goals. Some clients find clarity in just a few sessions; others benefit from longer-term support. We’ll review progress together so you always know where you stand.
