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 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.

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

Super Bill:

If you plan to seek insurance reimbursement, I can provide 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:

My goal is to make therapy as accessible as possible while also maintaining a sustainable private practice. I understand that financial situations can be complex and are often influenced by much more than income alone. Reduced-fee rates are determined collaboratively using client self-report and consideration of factors such as income, dependents, medical expenses, debt, caregiving responsibilities, and other life circumstances. Documentation is not required. I reserve a limited number of reduced-fee appointments based on financial need and availability. My standard rate is $200 per hour, and I offer a reduced-fee range of $100–160 for clients needing additional financial flexibility. 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.
