1. What can I expect in the first session?
Our first session is all about connection. We’ll talk about what’s been weighing on you, what you hope to feel or change, and gently begin shaping a path forward—together. There’s no pressure to have it all figured out. Just come as you are.

2. Do you offer online and in-person sessions?
Yes—you have the option to come in-person to our Virginia Beach office, or meet online so you can show up from the comfort and safety of your own space. Whether you’re on your couch, in your car, or curled up with a blanket, therapy meets you where you are—literally and emotionally.

3. Do you take insurance?
I offer in-network and out-of-network options, as well as self-pay and a limited sliding scale. I can also provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Reach out and I’ll help you explore the best option for your needs.

4. What kinds of therapy do you offer?
I use a trauma-informed, whole-person approach that blends EMDR, somatic therapy, and practical tools for everyday life. You’ll never be boxed into one method—your story, your body, and your goals shape the process.

5. Who do you work with?
I work with teens, adults, couples, and families navigating life’s toughest moments—grief, trauma, anxiety, disconnection, or feeling stuck. If something in you is asking for change, you’re in the right place.

6. How long are sessions, and how often will we meet?
Sessions are 50–55 minutes. Most people begin with weekly or bi-weekly sessions, but we’ll find a rhythm that feels supportive for you—one that honors your pace and your life.

7. How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If you’re overwhelmed, worn out, or just tired of doing it alone, therapy can help. You don’t need a diagnosis or a crisis—just the desire to feel more like yourself again. If you’re unsure, start with a free consultation. We’ll figure it out together.

8. What is EMDR and somatic therapy?
EMDR helps you gently reprocess painful memories so they no longer feel so charged. Somatic therapy helps you tune into the body—where trauma often lives—to release tension, stress, or emotional pain. Together, they support deep and lasting healing.

9. Do you work with parents of teens?
Yes. Supporting families is a big part of what I do. That might mean meeting with your teen individually, offering family sessions, or helping you feel more equipped and connected as a parent. Every family is unique—we’ll find the best path for yours.

10. How do I get started?
Just reach out. You can fill out the contact form, send an email, or text “Restore” to (757) 932-0587. We’ll schedule a free 15-minute consultation and begin designing a path to healing that’s made just for you.
