Arizona, but I can meet with clients via telehealth across Arizona, Colorado and in Washington.

Please fill out the contact form or schedule a free 15-minute consultation to start the process of discovering how sex therapy can transform your life. Once we schedule your initial consultation call and determine that working together will be a good fit, you will receive a unique link to our HIPAA-compliant portal via Simple Practice to confirm your intake appointment and complete the required intake paperwork.

This is a private-pay practice, so sessions are paid out of pocket rather than billed directly through insurance.

If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide documentation for possible reimbursement.

EMDR Intensives are private-pay only, and given their extended format, insurance reimbursement is unlikely even with documentation.

If you have specific questions about insurance or out-of-network reimbursement, feel free to reach out.

EMDR Intensives

$220 per hour, billed in 90-minute or 3-hour sessions

The total length of your intensive is determined collaboratively based on your treatment goals and clinical needs, allowing adequate time for preparation, processing, and integration.

For example, many clients find:

• A 5-hour intensive ($1,100) sufficient for a focused, single-issue goal

• An 8-hour intensive ($1,760) helpful for more complex or layered concerns

• An 11-hour intensive ($2,420) suited to more extensive trauma history

First Responder & Military Discounted Fees

Supporting first responders, active-duty military members, and veterans is one of my clinical specialties, and I'm committed to making trauma-focused care more accessible to those who serve our communities.

Reduced-fee individual therapy is available at $120 per 50-minute session for eligible first responders, active-duty military members, and veterans who are not eligible for employer-sponsored or third-party benefits.

If your department or organization offers an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) or other benefit, I'm happy to help you understand what may be available to you.

Availability for the discounted rate is limited and subject to current caseload capacity.

Good Faith Estimate (GFE):

If you are paying out of pocket for services, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate.

A Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your health care needs for an item or service. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created. If your final bill is $400 or more above your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the charge.

A Good Faith Estimate is available upon request — please contact me directly to request one.

I accept credit and debit cards, HSA and FSA cards, personal checks, and cash. Most clients keep a card on file in our secure system for easy, contactless billing.

No. A diagnosis is not required unless you choose to use insurance and it is necessary for reimbursement.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps individuals process trauma and other distressing experiences using bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, to support the brain's natural healing process. EMDR therapy is commonly used to treat trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress, including work-related trauma experienced by first responders.

EMDR intensives provide extended, focused sessions and are available in-person in the Chandler/East Valley area or via telehealth for clients in Arizona, Colorado, and Washington, allowing for deeper therapeutic work in a shorter timeframe compared to traditional weekly therapy.

Perinatal mental health refers to emotional and psychological well-being during pregnancy, postpartum, and the first year after birth. It includes concerns such as postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth trauma, mood changes, and adjustment challenges that can occur during pregnancy or after delivery.

Perinatal mental health therapy supports individuals and families through these transitions and is available via telehealth for clients in Arizona, Colorado and Washington, helping parents feel supported, grounded, and emotionally well during the perinatal period.

I am available to speak during my regular office hours (Monday through Thursday 9-5 pm and Fridays 9-1 pm MST). If I receive contact via phone or email from you, I will respond within 1-2 business days. I am unavailable via telephone or text outside of my regularly scheduled availability. If you need crisis support outside of my regular availability, you may contact 988 (suicide and crisis helpline), 911, or go to your nearest emergency room.

I understand that life happens and schedules can change. To support consistency of care and to allow availability for other clients, missed sessions and late cancellations are charged a $190 Session Fee.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please reach out as soon as possible by phone, email, or through secure messaging in your Sessions Health client portal. The following notice periods are required to avoid charges:

• 1-hour sessions: at least 24 hours' notice (for Monday appointments, please notify me by Friday)

• 2-hour sessions: at least 48 hours' notice (for Monday appointments, please notify me by Thursday)

• EMDR Intensives: at least 2 weeks' notice (10 business days). Intensives are charged in full at the time of booking, and this fee is non-refundable if cancelled or rescheduled within the 2-week window.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping keep care accessible for everyone.
