online trauma therapy in eagan, mn

I offer online therapy only, allowing you to access support from the comfort and privacy of your own space. Virtual sessions provide the flexibility to fit therapy into your life without the stress of commuting or scheduling around travel time.

Online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions, offering a space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with the same depth and connection. Whether you're at home, in a private office, or anywhere you feel comfortable, therapy is accessible wherever you are. All you need is a secure internet connection and a quiet place to talk.

At the start of our first session, I’ll go over some key pieces of the paperwork you completed, including informed consent, confidentiality, and important policies. This is also your chance to ask any questions before we dive in.

From there, the focus shifts to getting to know you. We’ll explore what led you to therapy, the experiences that may have shaped where you are now, and what you hope to gain from our work together. Most importantly, this session is about creating a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and heard.

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—how long you stay in therapy depends on your individual needs, goals, and the depth of the work you want to do. Research suggests that many clients start noticing meaningful improvements within 12–15 sessions, and for some, that’s enough to meet their goals and move forward with confidence. Others find value in continuing therapy as their lives evolve, using it as a space for ongoing growth and self-discovery.

My goal is to help you make meaningful progress as efficiently as possible. As long as therapy continues to feel helpful, I’ll be here to support you. Together, we’ll check in on your progress and adjust along the way to ensure therapy remains aligned with what you need

How Do I Know If I Have Complex PTSD?

Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) develops from repeated or prolonged experiences of trauma, often in childhood or within relationships that were meant to feel safe. Unlike single-event PTSD, C-PTSD affects how you see yourself, your emotions, and your relationships.

Some common signs of C-PTSD include:

• Emotional overwhelm or numbness – Feeling too much or nothing at all, sometimes swinging between both.

• Persistent self-doubt or shame – A harsh inner critic that makes you question your worth, choices, or abilities.

• Relationship struggles – Difficulty trusting others, setting boundaries, or feeling safe in close connections

• Hypervigilance or a sense of impending danger – Always feeling on edge, like you need to prepare for the worst

• Difficulty regulating emotions – Feeling easily triggered, reactive, or shutting down under stress.

• Patterns of people-pleasing or perfectionism – Prioritizing others' needs over your own or striving for impossible standards to feel “good enough.”

If these patterns resonate with you, therapy can help you understand why they exist, how they impact your life, and what healing looks like for you. Whether or not you have a formal diagnosis, what matters most is finding the support you need.

Fees Structure:

• Individual Therapy Sessions: $180 per 55-minute session

• Intake Session (First Session): $225 for a 60-minute session

I am in-network with the following insurance providers:
✔ Blue Cross Blue Shield
✔ Optum
✔ UnitedHealthcare
✔ UMR
✔ Medica
✔ United Surest

If I am out-of-network with your insurance, you may still be eligible for partial reimbursement. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits, which allow you to submit a superbill (a receipt for services) to your provider for reimbursement of a portion of the session cost. I encourage you to check with your insurance company to learn more about your out-of-network coverage for mental health services.

If you have any questions about fees or insurance, I’m happy to help you explore your options!

Yes, I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for clients experiencing financial hardship. These reduced-rate sessions are available on a case-by-case basis and depend on current availability. If cost is a barrier, please reach out, and we can discuss options to find a rate that works for your situation. My goal is to ensure that therapy remains accessible while also maintaining a sustainable practice.

If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, I ask for at least 24 hours' notice to avoid a cancellation fee. Cancellations made within 24 hours of your scheduled session time, or missed appointments, will be charged the full session rate of $180.
