Therapy for Trauma Recovery
I use evidence-based and mind-body approaches, like EMDR, IFS (“parts” work), mindfulness, and nervous system-based support, to retrain the brain, relieve unwanted symptoms, and build resiliency. In other words, I use science to help my clients get unstuck and feel better.
Areas of Support
Single traumatic incidents like assaults, accidents, or sudden loss
Prolonged, repeated exposure to traumatic situations, such as neglect, ongoing child abuse, or domestic violence
Exposure to multiple repeated or long-term traumatic experiences, often beginning in childhood and involving caregivers or trusted adults
Patterns of emotional pain passed down through families

We Develop a Plan
We’ll talk about what you want from therapy and come up with a clear plan for how to get there, together.

We Work Together

FAQs

I’m currently in-network with Aetna for Pennsylvania residents only. If you’re in PA and have Aetna coverage, your sessions may be partially or fully covered depending on your specific plan.
For all other insurance plans, I’m considered an out-of-network provider. This means I don’t bill insurance directly, but I can provide a monthly superbill for you to submit for possible reimbursement.
Please note that insurance companies typically require a diagnosis, and reimbursement depends on your out-of-network benefits. I’m happy to guide you through verifying your benefits or exploring potential reimbursement options.
Good Faith Estimate
In compliance with the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate that outlines the expected costs of your care. This applies to anyone who is uninsured or not using insurance. If your bill is at least $400 more than your estimate, you have the right to dispute it. For more information, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

Yes. Research shows that virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and related concerns.
Many people find it easier to open up when they’re in their own space. I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform to protect your privacy. One of the advantages of virtual trauma therapy is that you can create an environment that feels comfortable and familiar. Whether it's your favorite chair, a calming view, a soft blanket, or your pet nearby, those small details can support a greater sense of ease.
I provide virtual trauma therapy for adults in Bryn Mawr and throughout Pennsylvania and Delaware, so you can access support without commuting or rearranging your entire day.

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all timeline. The length of therapy depends on why you’re seeking support and what you’d like to work through.
Some people come in with a specific concern and begin noticing changes within a few sessions. Others are navigating deeper trauma, PTSD, or long-standing patterns that developed over time, which can take longer to untangle.
Early on, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you in and what you hope life can feel like instead. We’ll check in regularly to make sure our work continues to feel useful and aligned with your goals.
You’re never locked into a set number of sessions. This is your space, and there’s no pressure to rush the process.

I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Your session time is reserved specifically for you, and without that notice, the full session fee will be charged.

Therapy provides a structured, confidential space guided by clinical training and focused entirely on you.
Talking to someone in your inner circle can be incredibly helpful, and sometimes it’s exactly what you need. The people closest to you usually mean well. But even with the best intentions, friends and family can be biased. They might offer advice based on their own experiences, not yours. And sometimes that advice, even when loving, can leave you feeling misunderstood.
They may also struggle to fully hear you because what you’re sharing affects them too. Or maybe talking about your trauma feels complicated if they’re part of the story.
In therapy, you don’t have to manage anyone else’s reactions. You get a space that’s consistent, objective, and designed to support deeper healing.

Medication can be a helpful tool, especially when symptoms feel intense or interfere with daily life. For some people, it’s an important part of treatment.
At the same time, trauma affects the brain and nervous system, shaping how you think, feel, connect, and respond to stress. Medication can reduce symptoms, but it doesn’t process unresolved experiences on its own.
Trauma therapy focuses on working through those deeper layers. We address the protective patterns that developed, help your brain reprocess stuck experiences, and build skills that support long-term change.
If you’re already taking medication or considering it, we can talk about how it fits into your overall treatment plan.

Some clients choose to work with me specifically for trauma-focused therapy, such as EMDR therapy, while continuing to see their primary therapist for other concerns like daily stress, relationships, or life transitions.
Keeping the work separate can allow you to focus more deeply on trauma processing without feeling overwhelmed. If you’re considering this approach, I encourage you to discuss it with your current therapist to make sure it supports your overall goals.
