1. What is your therapeutic approach?

At Edme Therapy, I take a relational, trauma-informed approach that honors your lived experience, identity, and cultural background. With nearly 20 years of experience, I support individuals, couples, and families in working through trauma, attachment wounds, and relationship challenges. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can reconnect with parts of yourself, explore your story, and begin to shift long-standing patterns—from the inside out.

2. What therapeutic modalities do you use?

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I offer an integrative and compassionate approach to healing, including:

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients explore and connect with their internal “parts” with compassion.

• Brainspotting to access and release deeply held trauma stored in the brain and body.

• Somatic and mindfulness-based practices to support regulation and nervous system healing.

I tailor sessions to your feedback, needs, and goals—so you always feel supported and empowered.

3. What concerns do you specialize in?

I support clients working through trauma and its intersections with:

• Chronic Stress

• Abuse Survivors

• Addiction Recovery

• Neurodivergence, Including Autism, ADHD, and Learning Disabilities

• Parenting, Including a Special Focus on Advocacy and Special Education

• Cultural and Racial Identity

• Relationship Challenges

• Life Transitions

• Mental Health in Schools

• Adolescents and Young Adults

• Couples and Families

• Aging

4. What types of therapy sessions do you offer?

• Individual therapy (adolescents age 12+ and adults)

• Couples therapy

• Family therapy

• Parent coaching & consultation

• Short-term therapy for specific goals or transitions

• Long-term, depth-oriented therapy for trauma, grief, or identity exploration

Sessions are available in-person or via secure telehealth—based on what works best for you. I integrate talk therapy, somatic work, Brainspotting, mindfulness, or other approaches depending on your needs.

5. What are your rates, and do you take insurance?

I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly. However, many clients are able to get partial reimbursement—check with your plan about out-of-network benefits for therapy.

Here’s the info they may ask for:

CPT codes:

• 90791 (Diagnostic Assessment)

Important: Some insurance companies may still have me listed as an in-network provider from a previous practice. Since I am no longer with that practice, I am now out-of-network. Be sure to clarify that I am now working through my private practice.

Rates & Payment Options

• Intake assessment hourly rate: $220

• Therapy session hourly rate: $185

• Payment methods: Cash, check, HSA/FSA, debit/credit card

Payment Methods: Cash, check, HSA/FSA, debit/credit card

If you plan to seek insurance reimbursement, I can provide superbills (detailed receipts) upon request, which you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Before your first session, you will receive a Good Faith Estimate outlining the expected total cost of care.

Sliding Scale: I am committed to making therapy accessible to everyone. If cost is a concern, I offer reduced rates in the $80 - $120 range, based on financial need. I also hold a limited number of spots through the Open Path Collective  which offers a sliding scale of $40 - $80. I currently have a waitlist for Open Path clients.

6. How do I get started?

I offer a free 30-minute via telehealth/video consultation, or in person by request, so you can ask questions, share your needs and goals, and get a feel for whether we’re a good fit. You can request one through the Client Portal or by contacting me directly via phone, text, or email. If we decide we’re a good match, we will move forward with beginning therapy. If not, I am happy to help you find trusted providers that may be a better match.
