Frequently Asked Questions About EMDR & Trauma Therapy in Draper, Utah
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. Below are answers to common questions about EMDR, trauma therapy, insurance, and what it’s like to work together.
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based approach that helps your brain process and heal from trauma, anxiety, and distressing life experiences.
Instead of just talking about what happened, EMDR helps your nervous system reprocess those experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming or “stuck.” Many clients find EMDR to be faster and more effective than traditional talk therapy for trauma-related concerns.
-
I specialize in trauma-focused therapy and work with adults experiencing:

Anxiety and chronic stress
Relationship issues and attachment wounds

Low self-worth and people-pleasing patterns
If you're feeling stuck in patterns that don’t make sense or are hard to change, trauma-informed therapy can help you understand and shift them.

Traditional talk therapy focuses on understanding and discussing your experiences.
EMDR goes a step further by helping your brain reprocess those experiences at a deeper level, so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity.
Many clients find this leads to faster and more lasting relief.
-
Extended 90-minute sessions are available for clients who want to make deeper progress in fewer sessions.
These can be especially helpful for clients who prefer a more focused, accelerated approach to healing.
-
You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or repeating patterns in relationships, therapy can help you gain clarity and create meaningful change.
-
Trauma therapy is collaborative, paced, and focused on helping you feel safe and in control.
We don’t jump into anything before you’re ready. Instead, we build tools and stability first, then process experiences in a way that feels manageable and empowering.
-
The best next step is to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
This gives you a chance to ask questions, talk through what you’re looking for, and see if working together feels like a good fit.
-
Under federal law, clients who are not using insurance have the right to request a Good Faith Estimate of expected costs for non‑emergency medical services, including therapy.
A Good Faith Estimate:
Outlines the typical fees you can expect based on the information known at the time.
Helps you understand and plan for the potential cost of your care.
Unexpected factors—such as changes in your treatment plan or frequency of sessions—may affect your final costs. If your billed amount is substantially higher than your estimate, you have the right to dispute or negotiate the charges.
