Frequently Asked Questions
-
No diagnosis required. Many of my clients come to me after seeing multiple doctors without clear answers. Whether or not you have a formal diagnosis, if you’re living with chronic pain, anxiety, or just feeling stuck, I’m here to help. We’ll figure out the best approach for your specific situation together.
-
I don’t bill insurance directly, but I can provide monthly superbills—detailed receipts you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Many clients receive partial reimbursement through out-of-network benefits.
-
Sessions are $175 for 50 minutes. I know that’s a significant investment, and I’ve designed my approach to be efficient—most clients see meaningful changes within 4-8 weeks.
-
PRT is a psychological approach based on the latest neuroscience showing that chronic pain is often created by the brain’s pain circuits misfiring. A randomized controlled study at the University of Colorado, Boulder found that 98% of patients improved with PRT, and 66% became pain-free or nearly pain-free after just four weeks. It’s the most validated treatment for chronic pain available today and I was trained by the best— Howard Schubiner, MD. and Alan Gordon, LCSW.
-
Not necessarily. Some clients do want to explore past experiences, and others don’t. My approach is always collaborative—you set the pace and the direction. That said, I will say that if there is significant trauma in your history, addressing it usually speeds up chronic pain recovery.
-
It varies by person, but most clients working on chronic pain see significant improvement within 8-12 weeks of regular sessions. For anxiety or life transitions, the timeline depends on your goals.
-
PRT, EMDR, and IFS are three different tools, and I often blend them based on what you need. PRT (Pain Reprocessing Therapy) targets chronic pain directly by retraining the brain's pain signals. EMDR helps your nervous system process and release specific traumatic or distressing memories. IFS (Internal Family Systems) works with the different "parts" of you to resolve inner conflict and build self-compassion. You don't have to choose—in our work together, I'll recommend the right approach, or combination, for your specific situation.
