Flexibility in Treatment

Your length of time and form of treatment is not determined by the insurance company.

Instead, I am able to collaborate with YOU on the best course of treatment.

I am currently fully licensed in West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland and Florida. With telehealth privileges in Vermont and South Carolina. This means I can only see clients while they are physically present in one of these states regardless of if the session is virtual. I hope to add licensure for Pennsylvania, Washington DC soon.

I draw on personal experiences as a competitive athlete and my own life transitions to help high-achievers, athletes, and professionals navigate life’s toughest transitions — from trauma and burnout to career shifts and performance challenges.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) is a structured psychotherapy designed to help people process and heal from traumatic or distressing memories. It was developed in the late 1980s by psychologist Francine Shapiro. It is primarily used to treat symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) but can also be applied to anxiety. EMDR can be integrated into a normal weekly individual session cadence or conducted in a pre-planned intensive session.

Yes! EMDR and other modalities can be woven into a regular cadence if appropriate. You do not have to schedule an intensive to benefit from this modality.

EMDR intensives provide structured, extended sessions to help you process deeply and efficiently — especially when trauma, burnout, or a major life transition feels overwhelming — so you can create meaningful shifts and return to performing at your highest level. Intensives are private-pay only with a minimum time frame of three hours. Please submit the contact form for more information.
