Here for you

Offering a safe place where all can access safe, trauma-informed support, is a core value for me. I specialize in couples work and support all couples, including LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent couples. I am trained in Prepare and Enrich, Gottman, and Attachment based Emotionally Focused Therapy.  I am passionate about working with couples and use collaborative problem solving to aid in better communication, more intimacy and work towards a more loving relationship.

Coming soon!

Calm Water is working on a couple's workbook!

A workbook for couples is also be developed that focuses on healthy relationship skills, non-threating communication, self-regulation during periods of conflict, resolution strategies, attachment work, and positive interaction practices. Stay tuned!

Whether you are wanting to work through life stressors, process past trauma, discuss relationship stress or find better coping strategies I am here to support your goals and help you find relief from your stress.  The modalities I most often work in include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, dialectal behavior therapy (DBT), experiential therapy, narrative therapy and emotionally focused therapy. Using these theories, I can best develop person-centered approaches that fit your needs. 

Phone consultations are free for the first 15 min and then $25 for every 15 following.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.  

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. 

 • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

 • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

 • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
