Services
I offer in-person and virtual sessions.
Counseling
I do counseling a little differently. As we work together, we'll focus on the changes you want in your life because paying attention to change allows it to happen more easily. And it's totally fine if you don't have a clear idea of what you want. Most people have some version of "I want to feel better", and that's a great place to start. I have lots of ways to help you gain clarity.
We'll begin with what's going on in your life now, and as problems and challenges arise, we might dip into your past to understand better whatever is in your way but we don't have to if you prefer not to.
I'll invite you to try mind-body techniques that draw on your body's wisdom to literally think outside the box. We have an automatic survival response that does a fantastic job of keeping us alive. But if we've lived through painful or difficult experiences, our survival response can overreact and we might find ourselves overwhelmed and unable to cope. Mind-body techniques give us a way to communicate with this automatic reaction and choose how to respond to our experiences.
My work is to support you in shaping a life that is organic to who you are in all your delightful complexity. I'm not so much a teacher as a midwife to the changes you're making that bring you closer to who you want to be.
Logistics
Most people meet with me every 1-2 weeks.
We'll start each session by talking about what's going on in your life and as it strikes me that a mind-body approach or understanding your nervous system would be helpful, I'll invite you to try them. Most of my clients find that they feel lighter and more grounded afterward.
My fee is $150 for a 45-minute or 55-minute session, whichever is your preference. Our first session will be 60 minutes long.
Some people pay me out of pocket, and if you're not using insurance, you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate.
Others use their insurance. I am in network with BCBS (but not the State Health Plan, Blue Home, Blue Value, Blue Local, or High Performance Network) and the Duke student health insurance.
If you have another insurance plan, I am an out-of-network provider, which means your insurance may cover part of your session fee.
You have the right to read my privacy policies at any time.
Intensives
Intensives are only available to those who have had at least one session with me.
An intensive is a 2-hour session tailored to your needs. These longer sessions are particularly helpful in shifting deep-seated beliefs and issues. Intensives focus on mind-body approaches to address difficult or traumatic experiences, giving spacious time to work safely and deeply.
The fee for an intensive is $300. Intensives are not covered by insurance.
