Effective communication and conflict resolution are paramount in relationships. The researched-based Gottman Method equips couples with practical skills to navigate challenges, fostering more profound understanding and connection. Promoting empathy and mutual respect creates a secure foundation for partners to explore and resolve conflicts, leading to profound emotional healing and strengthened bonds.

Our early attachment experiences lay the foundation for how we relate to others. Attachment theory illuminates the profound impact of these early relationships, offering insight into relational patterns and dynamics. Fostering awareness and understanding of attachment styles provides a roadmap for healing relational wounds and cultivating more secure and fulfilling connections with others.

Trauma can deeply embed itself in the brain and body, impacting emotional and physical well-being. Brainspotting offers a direct pathway to access and process trauma, allowing individuals to release stored emotions and memories safely. Tapping into the brain-body connection facilitates profound healing at the neural level, often leading to significant relief from symptoms and a renewed sense of empowerment.

Trauma is not just psychological but also profoundly embodied, manifesting as physical tension, pain, and dysregulation. Somatic work and imagery techniques offer a gentle yet powerful approach to releasing trauma from the body, allowing individuals to reconnect with their innate capacity for healing and resilience. By restoring a sense of safety and agency in the body, they facilitate profound healing at the bodily level, often leading to lasting relief from trauma symptoms.

Amid life's challenges and stressors, mindfulness offers a sanctuary of presence and awareness. By cultivating mindfulness, individuals learn to relate to their thoughts, emotions, and sensations with openness and acceptance rather than judgment or resistance. This shift in perspective can lead to profound healing as individuals develop greater resilience, self-compassion, and inner peace, even in the face of adversity.

Trauma is not confined to individual experiences but can reverberate across generations, shaping family dynamics and relationships. Generational trauma healing acknowledges these intergenerational patterns, providing a framework for understanding and breaking free from inherited cycles of pain and dysfunction. Exploring family histories and fostering compassion and empathy paves the way for profound healing and transformation within familial systems.

We begin by conducting a thorough intake history assessment to understand your backgrounds, experiences, and goals for therapy. This sets the stage for personalized treatment planning and goal setting, ensuring the therapeutic journey is tailored to your unique needs and aspirations.

Drawing from the Gottman Method, we incorporate practical tools for communication, conflict resolution, and relationship enhancement. Simultaneously, we delve into early childhood attachment patterns using tools like the Adult Attachment Interview. By exploring how these patterns influence current relational dynamics, we foster empathy, understanding, and personal growth within your couple's dynamic.

As you uncover and explore attachment wounds and relational patterns, we integrate somatic tools, guided imagery, and Brainspotting to facilitate healing at both the psychological and physiological levels. These techniques provide a direct pathway to accessing and processing trauma stored in the body and mind, promoting profound healing and emotional regulation.

Throughout the therapeutic process, we weave in mindfulness practices and somatic movement to support you in integrating new insights and experiences. These practices cultivate present-moment awareness, resilience, and embodiment, fostering continued growth and transformation.

If you encounter obstacles or patterns that persist despite initial healing efforts, we explore the concept of generational trauma. By assessing and addressing inherited family patterns and traumas, you facilitate more profound healing and release of burdens that may not belong to the you (also, helpful for paretning!). Through Brainspotting and guided imagery, we can heal these intergenerational wounds, reclaiming your sense of self and agency.

Therapy concludes when you feel empowered and grounded in your adult selves, no longer hijacked by past wounds or younger versions of yourself. By reclaiming agency and integrating new pathways of thought and behavior, you can navigate relationships and life challenges with greater resilience, authenticity, and self-awareness.

Therapy with me is a private pay service, which means payment is made directly at the time of each session. This model protects your privacy and gives us complete freedom to tailor therapy to what actually works for you, without outside limitations.

Private pay benefits include:

• Complete privacy, since no diagnosis or treatment details are shared with insurance

• Full flexibility in session length and frequency

• The ability to choose formats that support more profound healing, such as 50-minute or 120 sessions (excellent for couples sessions)

• Freedom from insurance requirements, session caps, or "medical necessity" criteria

• Space to integrate holistic therapy approaches like attachment work, somatics, Brainspotting, mindfulness, and parts work

Many clients find they make the most meaningful progress when therapy unfolds in a way that honors their goals, not their insurance company's rules.

Although I do not bill insurance directly, I am considered an out-of-network provider, which means I can provide a superbill (a detailed receipt) for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. A diagnosis is required.

Reimbursement rates vary by plan. Many PPO plans cover a portion of therapy after you meet your out-of-network deductible.

Clients often appreciate this model because it offers:

• Benefits of private pay

• The potential to reduce your out-of-pocket cost

• The freedom to choose the therapist who feels right for you

• The ability to stay in therapy as long as it feels helpful, regardless of insurance limits

Insurance codes include: 90834 – 45 to 50-minute individual psychotherapy; 90837 – 55 to 60-minute individual psychotherapy; 90847 – Family or couples therapy with the client present

Even for longer sessions, most clients use 90847 for couples therapy or 90837 for extended individual work.

Working outside the insurance system allows me to provide ethical, sustainable, and effective care. It protects your privacy, enables us to work at a pace that supports real change, and keeps therapy centered on your goals rather than insurance checkboxes.

I intend to offer therapy that honors you as a whole person or as a couple and respects the complexity of relationships, healing, and nervous system work.

Private pay and OON reimbursement allow us to do precisely that.
