Frequently Asked Questions

What are your specialties?

I specialize in Intuitive Eating Therapy, IFS Therapy, and EMDR Therapy to help you rebuild the self-trust and confidence that may have been drowned out by years of diet culture, body criticism, and confusing messages about food.

Do You Take Insurance?

I do not bill your insurance directly. I will provide a super bill that is formatted so you can send it to your insurance provider for reimbursement. 

How Many Therapy Sessions Do I Need?

The length of therapy depends on what you're struggling with, what you'd like to work on, and what you hope to get from therapy.

Many clients begin with weekly sessions. Over time, we can adjust the frequency based on your needs and goals.

Do You Recommend Starting With a Certain Number of Sessions?

I generally recommend starting with [INSERT RECOMMENDATION]. This gives us enough time to get to know each other, understand what's bringing you to therapy, and decide what you want to work on.

Can I Do a Trial Session?

I offer an initial consultation so you can meet me, ask questions, and “vibe check” if I feel like a good fit for you.  I’m happy to share more about my approach and what you can expect from working together so you can decide if I am the right therapist for you. 

What If I Feel Like You're Not the Right Therapist for Me?

That's completely okay. The therapeutic relationship matters a lot, and not every therapist is the right fit for every person.

If you don't feel like we're a good match, I encourage you to trust that feeling. I'm also happy to refer you to a provider who may be a better fit for what you're looking for.

What Happens During My First Therapy Session?

Our first session is for us to get to know each other and talk about what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from working together. 

You don't need to have anything prepared in advance or even know exactly what you want to work on. We'll start where you are and see what would feel most helpful.

Do I Need to Keep a Food Journal?

No. Our work isn't about monitoring everything you eat or making sure you're following a particular plan. Instead, we'll explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that inform your relationship with food.

Who Is Intuitive Eating Therapy a Good Fit For?

Intuitive eating therapy is a good fit if you've struggled with food and body image and are feeling exhausted from changing diet protocols to control or fit your body into a standard that doesn’t feel achievable.

Most of my clients feel like food and their body image take up too much mental space and want to find a sustainable balance. 

What If I'm LGBTQ+?

You are welcome here! I enjoy working with LGBTQ+ clients and provide a therapy space where you can show up as your full self without having to explain, justify, or hide who you are.
