Getting Started:

Note: this section provides a general idea of what to expect and is shared as a courtesy to ease uncertainty. Consultations, intakes and all session types are subject to variability and flexible to client needs and clinician variability.

Once established:

  • Email me with days/times Monday-Thursday that you are available for a brief 15 minute consultation.

    I will respond to your inquiry within 24-72 hours to schedule your consultation video or phone call where we’ll discuss your care needs and ensure I am an optimal fit.

    If you don’t hear back - reach out again! Sometimes emails are mistakenly sent to Junk Mail or lost into the ethernet abyss.

  • Next, you will login to the virtual waiting room through the provided link for video chat or wait for my call to you to connect us. You will already have my contact information in case of any technical difficulties.

    During this brief call, I will ask questions regarding your current situation and what you’re looking to get out of therapy. I will share with you some of the approaches I might explore to support you while you get a feel for who I am as therapist.

    If you are interested in EMDR intensives, extended sessions, or Walk & Talk therapy, we will explore these options as a part of your care.

    If it’s a match, we’ll discuss scheduling, session frequency, client portal and paperwork, cost for services & schedule your intake session.

    If it’s not the best fit, that’s ok! I’ll do my best to provide you with alternative providers who might fit your needs.

  • I will send you an email invite to create your client profile within SessionsHealth (Electronic Health Record system). Here, you will be prompted to review and sign necessary paperwork to start services. Once completed, you have officially secured your intake appointment!

  • Make your way into the virtual waiting room by following the link provided via email from SessionsHealth or choose an available seat for in-office visits. Feel free to bring snacks and beverages or help yourself to the provided refreshments if you’re in-office! I’ll connect us or invite you in when it’s time for your appointment and we’re ready to start.

    Next, we’ll dive deeper into your current challenges, related background and start building our therapeutic relationship while developing your personalized care/treatment plan.

    Superbilling: for those interested in submitting Superbills for possible insurance reimbursement, I will assess for a diagnosis as insurance providers require diagnosis for service reimbursements. I cannot guarantee your insurance will reimburse you and it is your responsibility as the insured party to check your out-of-network benefits.

  • Log into the virtual waiting room by following the link provided via email confirmation/reminder from SessionsHealth or choose an available seat for in-office visits. Feel free to bring along a drink, snack, or help yourself to the provided refreshments if you’re in-office.

    Grab any materials you want to use in session and determine any accommodation you need for that day’s session.

    I’ll connect us or invite you in when it’s time for your appointment and we’re ready to start.

  • Once settle in, we’ll identify the topics you want to work on. Next, we’ll optimize our time together through processing, reviewing prior work, incorporating supportive interventions to take on challenges and identifying skills and short term goals to focus on between sessions.


  • We’ll take time to settle in, review our prior session and between session work, identify focus areas/topics for session, process, integrate interventions and explore application, review the session and identify skills and short term goals to focus on between sessions.

  • I’ll provide you with necessary assessments/paperwork prior to your 1st intensive session to gather more information on your history, background, relationships and readiness to process. 

    We’ll start the 1st session by reviewing your assessments/paperwork, priming your brain and body for processing. Next, we'll ensure readiness to process and create a supportive and grounding environment for you to process. 

    Once ready, I’ll implement the EMDR protocol and support you through processing as many adverse/traumatic events as possible during a 3 hour session to include scheduled and requested breaks. We’ll check in, confirm scheduling for the next intensive, and review your affect management and self-care skills.

    Proceeding sessions with pick up where you left off and continue processing to minimize disruptions and allow for more effective, deeper processing.

  • Together, we identify current challenges and connections to stress, trauma, and/or neurodiversity. Through exploration of the problem, we’ll identify current efforts to connect and work together and barriers for success. I’ll share new perspectives with supporting input, provide psychoeducation as needed, and help find common ground. We’ll work as a team to explore the ways stress, trauma and/or neurodivergence are impacting the relationship and how to better support the individual and relational needs of all involved. 

    This is relational therapy for those looking for licensed mental health counseling who uses neuroscience-based interventions to help foster connection, cohesion, and healthy interpersonal relationship dynamics.

    I am not trained/certified in any specific modality and am happy to connect you with a professional who is if you prefer a more structured approach.

The heart of therapy is being human - I keep it real

Creating a neuro-affirming and trauma-informed space within High Point Counseling PLLC means embracing and encouraging the full expression and all parts of your human experience.

I invite you to show up and talk too fast, stumble on your words, and share half-baked thoughts. Name the disconnect from your body or emotions, fidget, express yourself through artistic or creative means, get up and move your body or anything else that helps you show up and do this work together.

Some days you might show up bright, humorous, excited to talk about your recent wins, or super enthusiastic about sharing your newest interest. Other days, you may show up angry, on the brink of tears or find yourself stuck or shut down, like you just can’t find the words. Sometimes polished, sometimes rough around the edges.

I’m here for all versions of you.

Whatever the state or challenges, however deep or incidental the challenge, I aim to create the space and give you the supportive energy you need to do the work you’re here to do.

I invite you to optimize this space. Bring in your breathe work practices, mindfulness exercises, yoga stretches, coloring books or wear your comfortable clothes. Sit however feels natural, snack if you need to eat… this space is meant to meet your needs.

I am animated in nature and use humor, sarcasm, metaphors, analogies and sometimes even swear. I show my grit, pause to think, occasionally stumble on my words, adjust my position and use fidgets. Embracing my real self allows us to truly connect authentically and I hope it invites you to be your authentic self, too.
