Trauma

Whatever the journey has brought you, your courageous heart has led you here!

If your journey has brought you to this page, you may be able to relate to one or more of the following statements:

 

  • I am already aware of how my past traumas are impacting my life, and I have come here for help moving through them.
  • I don’t know why I react to things the way I do, and I wonder if my past traumas might figure into it.
  • I have triggers from past traumatic experiences, and I want to learn how to quiet them so I can move forward with my life.
  • I was abused as a child or as an adult, and large parts of my memory have been affected by trauma.
  • I had a traumatic experience giving birth to my child and suffer shame, disappointment, anxiety, depression, or other intense emotions because of it.
  • I have received a terminal diagnosis.
  • I have developed a chronic illness, and I am struggling to come to terms with my “new normal.”
  • I was sexually assaulted, and I struggle with feeling safe in my own body.
  • I was in or witnessed an accident, natural disaster, war, or other painful event in my personal or professional life,  and I am struggling to move forward.
  • I am  grieving. Is what I am experiencing normal

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accept any forms of insurance?

I do not take insurance at this time. I can, however, provide a superbill or a paid invoice for you to submit to your insurance for out-of-network coverage. Please call the number on the back of your insurance card to inquire about out-of-network providers prior to your intake session (first paid appointment) if you intend to submit receipts to your insurance company. Thanks!

Do you offer telehealth and/or phone appointments?

I currently offer online therapy through Zoom and via a portal through TherapyNotes, both of which are HIPAA-compliant. I also offer a phone option. Due to COVID-19, all of my appointments are currently held by phone or video. 

Do I need to fill out any paperwork before our first session?

You will receive paperwork via the TherapyNotes portal prior to your appointment. You will also receive a welcome letter in the mail, unless you wish not to. 

How much do your mental health services cost?

The initial 30-minute contact is no cost to you. Your first 90-minute intake appointment is $110, and each subsequent 55-60 minute appointment is $90. Please speak to me directly about payment arrangements if this price is too high. You may also benefit from group services, which are less costly than individual services.  

What if I can’t come every week?

While we would be able to make faster progress if you come weekly, we can schedule less frequently if necessary. 

Where are you located?

Due to Covid-19, I am currently running my entire practice virtually. I am licensed to practice therapy in the state of Indiana. If you reside outside of Indiana, I can work with you in a coaching capacity.
