Frequently Asked Questions

A free 15-minute phone consultation. I'll ask what brought you here and what you're hoping for; you can ask me anything you want about how I work. If we're a good fit, we'll schedule an intake. If we're not, I'll do my best to point you somewhere useful.

The intake is about getting a picture of what brought you, what's been hard, what's been working, what you've tried before, what you want different. We'll start to make a plan together. We won't do EMDR in the first session.

50 minutes for standard sessions, 60 for the intake. EMDR sessions can sometimes be extended to 75 or 90 minutes if it serves the work, and we'll talk about this if it's relevant.

Both. In-person sessions are at my office in Tinley Park, IL.

Telehealth sessions are available to anyone physically located in Illinois at the time of

the appointment. I'm not licensed to see clients located in other states, including for

vacation/travel sessions.

 No. I specialize in EMDR but use it when it's the right tool. Many clients work with me primarily in talk therapy, sometimes with EMDR as a smaller piece, and sometimes not at all.

Yes. See the [first responders page] for more.

No. I work with individuals only. If you're in a marriage or partnership and want to work on the parts of that struggle that are yours alone, that's something I can do , but it's individual work, not couples work.
