We will meet initially to find out what brings you to therapy/EMDR at his time in your life and what other kinds of therapy you have participated in. Usually we will meet for two sessions for your history and assessment for EMDR treatment.

I would like to know what growing up was like for your in your family, community, and social environment. Medical

issues and any physical experiences are also important parts of your life to discuss.

If you are coming to me for EMDR, we will need to explore the development of "internal resources" sources of emotional

support within your life or the creation of them for you using your imagination. Since EMDR is an "exposure therapy", your nervous system needs to feel safe enough to feel these distressing emotions.

Sessions last from 45- 60 minutes depending on the type of therapy we are using. I do ask that my fee be paid at each session using Venmo or the IVY PAY app. I do charge for sessions cancelled ,but can be made up the same week. I will provide a detailed invoice each month for your insurance provider and for your own records.

 I will do whatever I can, as your therapist, for you to feel heard and respected in your therapy with me.
