Is therapy expensive? Hell yes. It's an investment in your life, in feeling better, in finally releasing patterns you spent years working on in talk therapy and still carry around. These are not traditional 50-minute weekly talk therapy circles.
Why it costs what it does
Therapy costs what it does because this isn’t surface-level talk therapy or clinical fluff. Instead it’s deep nervous system work that actually helps your brain and body process what’s been stuck for years and start to find relief and relaxation. By integrating approaches like EMDR, Brainspotting, and somatic therapy, we’re not just talking about your trauma, we’re working with how it lives in you.
If regular ongoing talk therapy hasn’t been enough, this is the kind of work that finally goes deeper than insight and actually shifts things.
Skip the years of talk therapy and let's do the deep work now.
The intensive structure
This isn't the same one-hour- a-week counseling loop where things are drawn out for years on end. Traditional therapy cuts you off as soon as the work gets good.
This intensives structure allows us to process with the luxury of time which can offer your nervous system the deep psychological safety it needs to finally get the healing you're craving and release what you're holding.
I utilize extended sessions starting at 90 minutes and going up to 10 hours. This allows you to get real and unfiltered, drop the armor, stop watching the clock, and sink into the deep and meaningful work.
Yes, this is an upfront investment. But so is paying for years of weekly venting sessions and not feeling better.

This is where we discuss what you want to work on briefly, answer questions, discuss approaches and ensure fit.
Why is this private pay?
Your healing should not be dictated by an insurance claims adjuster. To protect your complete medical privacy, prevent forced mental health diagnoses on your permanent record, and give us the freedom to use advanced somatic tools without corporate time limits, we operate entirely out-of-network. However, I can provide a monthly Superbill upon request, which you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Please call your provider to verify your out-of-network mental health benefits.
Results vary based on individual circumstances, readiness, and participation. These sessions are designed to support exploration, regulation, and personal growth, but specific outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
The framework session. A 90 minute nervous system assessment and custom treatment roadmap. Your healing journey begins with a dedicated, deep-dive 90 minute immersion, high impact session. Together we will work on an unfiltered history review at a safe and comfortable pace, map out your targets and where they live in the body, and together create a treatment plan. At the end of this we explore the options for sessions and match to your needs.
Please note this is required for all new clients
90 minutes
This is our version of ongoing therapy, it lasts 90 minutes and booked as often as you like, Traditional sessions cut you off right as you're getting to the roots of the issue. This non-traditional format gives you more time to process and your nervous system to relax without watching the clock or holding back.
50 Minutes
The Unfiltered Hour is designed for focused
therapeutic work around a specific trigger,
pattern, or situation. This is ideal for clients who
need targeted support, have limited availability,
or are continuing their healing work after
completing deeper sessions or intensives
This is not a venting hour or a traditional talk-
therapy check-in. This is a focused, intentional
space designed to identify what is active, work
with the nervous system response, and create
movement around one specific area.
Please note: The nervous system mapping and intake is still required for all new clients before booking.
3 Hours
Just enough time to get real
This is for the one issue that you just can't seem to deal with. The one that keeps coming up. We will start with intentional grounding then move into 2 full hours of deep, intense, uninterrrupted processing and finish off with 45 minutes of integration, future intention, and closing
6 hours
Enough time to get real and stop hiding.
It's doing hours of deep processing all in one day and giving yourself the release and reset you have been looking for. We skip the small talk and catch up and do the deep work.
We start this one with grounding and priming your nervous system for the deep work that is ahead. Next we get into 5 hours of processing broken into 2-3 blocks with room to break and breathe and we finish with 45-60 minutes of verbal processing, integration and grounding to bring you back to reality safely.
10 hours
This one is for the sh*t that won't go away, the ones that keep you stuck.
Imagine not spending months rehashing and retelling the past. We skip the small talk and work to clear out the emotional imprints you built in months or years of repetitive patterns. These sessions are built with grounding and breaks so you step back to reality feeling different.
This is the ultimate deep dive. We start with grounding and priming the nervous system for the deep transformative work that is about to happen. From there you will get 8 hours of processing split into 2-3 days. We finish it up with 2 hours of integration, verbal processing, and grounding split into 2 sessions, one of which occurs after the intensive is completed, to help ensure you are supported as you jump back into reality .
Interested in group or family processing via EMDR or brainspotting? This is your option. Lets work together to create a small group intensive that meets your needs.
