Do you offer in-person or telehealth sessions?

Clients have found that doing therapy online is safe, convenient, and as effective as in-person therapy. Currently, I provide the majority of therapy via a secure, HIPPA compliant platform that keeps our exchanges safe and private.

I am a firm believer there is no one size fits all for therapy. I am a holistic and eclectic provider, which I think is necessary if I’m working with you to change ingrained patterns in the body and the mind.

I am fully trained in Somatic Experiencing, and whether we use that treatment directly in session or not, it is part of my lens of understanding the interconnectedness of the body and the mind.

I am also trained in Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing for PTSD, EMDR, and other modalities that I utilize to engage you in your treatment.

All of that aside, the therapeutic relationship is one of the greatest predictors of therapy success. It is my job to help you feel safe, seen and energized to do the work we will do together by harnessing some of the most awesome parts of yourself toward healing. And by the way: some of the most wounded parts of us are some of the strongest players in making change.

Standard Therapy sessions run for 50 minutes. I provide half hour sessions for engaged, active clients occasionally, and 90 minute sessions for deeper somatic work.

I am not “in network” with any third-party payers. But I am happy to provide you with a superbill (receipt/invoice) that you can submit to your insurance on your own if you live in Washington or Massachusetts where I am licensed. If you are unsure if they will reimburse you for out of network visits, please reach out to them to get more information.

All my years of clinical work and education have pointed to the reality that each one of us has great healing capacity. Organic Inner Work is a term I use to describe the process of connecting you back to your inner healing capacities and utilizing your strengths toward health and wholeness inclusive of efforts and interventions that involve the body and the mind through therapeutic attunement.

I require that you cancel 48 hours in advance. If you cancel within the 48-hour window before your appointment, I will charge you the full fee for the session.

Please email, text, or call if an emergency has occurred. I will be reasonable with you should you encounter extenuating circumstances.

$225 per 50 minute session. I have a sliding scale, please inquire.

I have worked with many clients who have a therapist and seek somatic work for trauma. I am happy to collaborate with your therapist to create a container for our somatic sessions that targets your goals for therapy.

Great question! This primarily depends on the goals you are setting in therapy. I see some people for a few months, and others for years. I am trained in brief treatment therapy for individuals who are targeting specific goals in therapy. For clients who are doing deeper change-making work in themselves, it can be months to years. I have clients that leave and come back years later when something happens in life that they want to process.

I welcome and am committed to working with people of all genders and sexual identities, LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals. Organic Inner Work is a safe space to be yourself and strengthen all that is good in you.

I have provided hundreds of only somatic sessions and my clients have provided the feedback that it remains extremely effective. I am intensively trained in working with the nervous system and helping you to develop the capacity and skill to become curious and able to track your own body in a way that gets the results we are going for.

Of course! I offer free 15 minute phone consultations for this. In fact, it is my policy that we speak first to see if we are a good fit.

I work best with individuals who are interested in insight-oriented work, motivated to get unstuck, tired of searching for answers and really want to do the “real work” in therapy. Unfortunately, a lot of therapy these days provides another place to hide where a person is not challenged, but merely supported. In our work together, you will be respectfully challenged to go deeper and to develop a better understanding of yourself that actually results in change. At Organic Inner Work, we will do the work of looking at the past, how it influences the present, what needs healing and what strengths are there to help with healing.

It should be noted that I do not see clients online who are struggling with active psychosis, suicidal or homicidal crisis or significant self-harming behaviors as it is my experience that when these struggles are happening, there is more groundwork needed before engaging in the deeper therapy. That groundwork usually involves more intensive services than traditional psychotherapy that is more frequent in nature and more intensively based on building skills to manage stress and life’s challenges.

Generally speaking, psychotherapy focuses on emotional healing and mental health, while coaching focuses on setting and achieving goals. If you want more clarity on how this may apply to you, reach out for a free consultation to discuss!

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapy that works with “parts” of self. Most of us have parts and this is called being human. Working with your inner parts allows you to uncover powerful, healing and motivated parts of self that often have been buried. We also uncover opposing agendas in parts that are protected, wounded, addicted in our inner world that can create stuckness in one’s life.

Working with these parts is transformative work, and also can be very empowering to those courageous enough to journey inside.

I was not sure it would be effective until I tried it myself. And now that I’ve provided online somatic work for over 10 years, it’s not a question but a knowing. Part of the reason it is so effective is because Organic Inner Work trains you to be an excellent tracker of your own body and sensations, and with the help of a highly trained intuitive guide, we have found that a lot of powerful, authentic transformation can occur in the safe space of your own home. Especially when working with intense states and stuck parts. But the best way to find out is to try a session and see.
