Frequently Asked Questions

I facilitate processes that can aid in shifting the root beliefs and unhelpful programs that often appear through symptoms of Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Focus/Concentration Problems, Attachment issues, Health and Medical Symptoms, Relationship Concerns, Financial Struggles, Career Blocks, Body Image Distress, Medically Stable Eating Disorders, Weight Concerns, Grief and Loss, and much more.

We will focus on the present. I can offer a diagnosis for understanding and dive into the past for insight into the roots of the symptom, but the focus of sessions will be on identifying challenges and emotional blocks, and creating the potential for change in the present.

Sessions consist of setting conscious intention and awareness, somatic and energy exercises to engage the subconscious and release, and creating action and practice plans to integrate the new potential.

Unlike traditional therapy, there are no requirements of weekly or biweekly time commitments. Each session is customized based on your desires to change and you can return for sessions as needed. The goal is for you to become the catalyst for your own healing and change versus being in therapy for years. Come as you are and as you need.

Absolutely. The work we do has built-in safety and permission protocols to make sure it is safe to proceed with any process when working with the body and the subconscious mind.

PSYCH-K® is a unique blend of methods combined into a simple and effective process to shift limiting subconscious beliefs. It helps individuals to consciously and subconsciously re-perceive themselves, their circumstances, and their personal potential, in order to lead a happier and more satisfying life.

PSYCH-K® is a spiritual process that activates pathways aligning major systems to create potential for change. It has roots in ancient wisdom, energy work, and neuroscience. In combination with professional mental health treatment, it becomes an effective addition to the methods and tools used in therapy. You can learn more at https://psych-k.com/

As a clinically trained psychologist I am qualified and overly experienced in holding space for even the darkest and disturbing parts of all individuals. This is a safe place of non-judgement for all Parts and Shadows, especially the ones that bring you the most shame. I have worked in prisons, hospitals, and with the court systems. If there are more resources that are needed for safety, we will discuss that directly in session with compassion and care.

That is a great example of a limiting belief! Somewhere you hold the message that your emotions or needs were too much for someone and they hurt you. Your body remembers. I have seen and experienced much – and deeply believe that I could find natural compassion and connection in anyone. Any emotion, response or behavior you express is more information for tracing patterns.

I also have my own personal practices that provide me the ability to hold space for your healing and separate my work from my own personal life and family. I became a doctor to be at the top of my field in both knowledge and the practices of healing mind-body-spirit and that involves learning to process and separate my own feelings from yours.

Because we don’t know what we don’t know! You can only try to “fix” things based on what you have learned in the past.You have a limited perception of possibilities based on feelings and experiences from your past. The cause of our fear responses can go back generations or pre-verbal. If we spend all our time talking and searching for why, we end up living in past programming that may not even be our own. Continuing to repeat old patterns even though we work so hard and desperately desire to change.

Surgery, medications, and diets do not fix the subconscious. They can be effective tools to assist in healing and health functioning, but if the root belief is still limiting, the gains may be short term and old patterns will continue to repeat, triggering feelings of failure, shame, frustration, hopelessness and helplessness.

I understand that you’ll be paying out of pocket for something that is normally covered under insurance. There is a reason for that.

Traditional talk therapy has amazing benefits and is a much needed resource that everyone should have free access to through their insurance. It should be as basic as having a primary care doctor, nutrition, and movement in your daily life.

What Belief to Body is offering is specialty care that focuses on the beliefs and emotional blocks that basic methods have not been able to transform-“I have tried everything and I’m still stuck”. By being self-pay it ensures the individual has come to an awareness of the value of taking personal responsibility for change.

Once we reframe the beliefs and shift the energy, we need a new pathway to direct that energy. That is how this is a practice of BEING and DOING. Energy does not stay still — it never ends and never dies. So we collaborate to create action plans that will be inline with your desires.

For example, if you have always wanted to sing and perform, but feel stuck or afraid, we may create a plan to try out at your local playhouse or sing karaoke at a club. What may have felt impossible or, in body terms, like a “threat” in the past, with new beliefs and energy can feel exciting or nervous on a healthy level.

Emotions are not the enemy. They are the language of your subconscious. Tools and actions may not have worked or had short term results in the past due to blocks of the subconscious. However, with different perceptions, energy, and potential, you can explore, create, grow, move, connect, express, and so much more!

Yes. As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist my clinical therapy services are considered “qualified medical expenses”. Your HSA or FSA card would be charged the full rate of service through our system like a credit or debit card. If you have specific questions, please contact your insurance company directly. 

Very Possible. Some Insurance companies consider self-pay doctors as out-of-network providers. If they allow you to choose your own providers, you could receive some reimbursement for my services. You would want to contact them directly and find out the process for reimbursement and what you would need from me to submit. You would first be required to self-pay for the session using a personal credit or debit card.  At the end of the session, I could provide you with a Superbill with a diagnosis and Paid Invoice which provides insurance companies with the details needed to process the claim.
