Frequently asked questions.
What is Integrative Psychotherapy?
Integrative Psychotherapy or Holistic Counseling blends evidence-based mental health approaches with holistic practices that support the mind, body, and nervous system. My practice weaves together talk therapy, EMDR, nutrition, neurofeedback, The Listening Program, and mindfulness to create a personalized path toward healing and resilience.
What is EMDR therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps people heal from trauma, anxiety, and distressing life events. By engaging bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements, tapping, or sounds), EMDR helps the brain process and integrate difficult memories so they no longer feel overwhelming.
How does nutrition play a role in mental health?
Nutrition significantly impacts mood, focus, and energy. I use principles from functional and integrative health as well as a nutritional psychology to help identify imbalances that may contribute to anxiety, depression, fatigue, or attention difficulties. Simple, sustainable dietary strategies—sometimes paired with supplementation—can support brain health and emotional well-being.
What is neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a brain-training method that uses real-time feedback to help regulate brainwave activity. Clients wear sensors while engaging in computer-based activities or games. Over time, the brain learns to create healthier, more balanced patterns, improving focus, emotional regulation, and resilience. Neurofeedback can be especially helpful for ADHD, anxiety, depression, and recovery from head injuries.
What is The Listening Program?
The Listening Program (TLP) uses acoustically modified music to gently stimulate and strengthen the brain. Through structured listening sessions, TLP helps improve auditory processing, focus, memory, and emotional balance. It is often used with children and adults seeking improved learning, communication, and sensory integration.
How can mindfulness help me?
Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention with curiosity and without judgment. It can reduce stress, improve emotional awareness, and enhance overall well-being. In therapy, we integrate mindfulness practices such as breathing exercises, guided meditation, and body awareness to help clients feel more present and resilient.

Practical Details
How to you separate your wellness from therapy to remain in scope of practice ethically?
I offer therapy under Desert Skies Psychological Services to ensure highest quality standard for my licence. This also allows us to charge through insurance. All other services are offered under my Integrative business and are primarily cash pay services.
Do you take insurance?
We take Aetna and BlueCross, but are are an out-of-network provider for all other insurance companies at this time. We are happy to provide a superBill for you to submit to insurance and will code it for your services to be covered as therapy. Most clients receive reimmbursment for our services.
How long are sessions?
Sessions typically last 50–60 minutes. Frequency depends on your goals and needs—some clients begin with weekly sessions, while others may come biweekly or monthly. Specialized services like neurofeedback or The Listening Program may involve more structured schedules.
How do I get started?
