What is your cancellation policy?

If you have to cancel or reschedule your appointment, we’ll need 24 hours’ advance notice. This allows me to fill the spot with someone else who is waiting.

If you do not call within 24 hours before your appointment or do not show up, you will be charged a $100 no-show/late cancellation fee. This fee might be waived in case of emergency or illness.

What is the research on EMDR Intensives?

Intensives are innovative and growing in popularity among trauma therapists for a good reason. A large, well-designed randomized study found that an intensive 1-week course of evidence-based PTSD therapy had the same outcome as delivery of the same treatment over several months; except that the results were achieved much more quickly in the intensive format (Ehlers et al, 2014). EMDR Intensives can be safe and effective for those with Complex PTSD (Bongaerts et al, 2017) and Research shows that EMDR was well-tolerated with patients with PTSD and contributed to a significant reduction of symptoms after intensive therapy (Zepeda Méndez, Mayaris et al, 2018).

What is a free initial consultation?
The consultation is 30 minutes long, where I will ask you some questions about your issues and explain what type of work we would do together. You will also have some time to ask me questions. I offer this session on the phone or virtual.
How long is a typical session?
A typical session is 50 to 80 minutes long. I find EMDR is more effective in 80-minute sessions or more. However, every client is different in how long they need for processing.
Cats or Dogs?
I have 2 bilingual kitties names Mila and Ori my husband and I rescued while living in Costa Rica. Monkeys are my other favorite animal!
What is the hourly fee?
The cost on an EMDR Intensive is more upfront but significantly less overall than committing to weekly therapy, where trauma reprocessing can be limited due to time spent discussing your day to day life and managing crises. All intensives include the Pre-Intensive Interview, Personalized Client Workbook, Intensive Therapy, and a Post-Intensive Interview. A standard full one day Intensive is $2100. A half day Intensive is $1200. Financing options available through Care Credit.
