Therapy is a collaborative process. Sessions are a space to talk openly, explore patterns, and develop tools that support change outside of the therapy room. There is no expectation to have everything figured out before starting.

Sessions are typically 50–55 minutes. Most clients begin with weekly or bi-weekly sessions to build consistency and trust. Over time, we may adjust frequency based on your goals, schedule, and progress.

My office is based in West Virginia, where I offer in-person sessions. I also provide virtual therapy for clients in West Virginia, Virginia, and Florida using a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform..

Yes. EMDR can be effectively done via telehealth using secure platforms and adapted bilateral stimulation tools. I’ll explain the process in detail before we begin and ensure that you feel comfortable and grounded throughout.

I specialize in helping clients work through trauma, grief, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions, with a particular focus on women’s issues, self-worth, and the impact of early experiences on present-day patterns.

My approach is integrative and collaborative. I draw from several evidence-based modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy. I also incorporate elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients build insight, emotional regulation, and self-compassion.

Yes. What you share in therapy is confidential and protected by law. There are a few exceptions where I’m required to break confidentiality for safety reasons, such as if you share that you intend to harm yourself or someone else, if there is suspected abuse or neglect of a child or vulnerable adult, or if your records are subpoenaed by a court. Outside of those rare situations, your privacy is fully protected.

Life happens. I just ask that you provide at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or reschedules. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur a fee so that appointment times remain available for others who need them.
