Starting therapy can feel like a lot.

Starting can feel like a lot, and that's normal. Therapy helps whether you're barely hanging on or just want a little extra support. A free consultation is a low-pressure way to feel it out, with no commitment.

Yes. This is my own private practice, and I keep my caseload small so I know every person I work with. The person answering your emails, handling your billing, and sitting with you each week is me, Meika.

Everything is online, by secure video, for anyone located in North Dakota. We start with weekly as a baseline, and can meet more or less often at your choosing.

Our first session is called an intake, and it's a little different from our regular sessions. I'll have lots of questions about who you are and how you came to be the person sitting here today. From there, we'll start setting goals and mapping out where to begin. There's nothing to prepare. Just come as you are.

For stretches when you want more, we add a shorter mid-week check-in to your weekly session, so you're supported between sessions, not only during them. It's billed through your insurance, the same as a regular session.

Reach out. Short check-ins and extra mid-week sessions are part of how I work, and when something really matters, I'll do my best to find time, even outside my usual hours.

EMDR is an approach that helps you work through stuck experiences and close the gap between what you know and what you feel. It can stand on its own or weave into talk therapy, whenever it's a good fit.

I'm working through credentialing with Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota, and Sanford Health Plan. I do my own billing, so reach out and I'll tell you exactly where things stand with your plan and walk you through your options.

Anxiety is my focus, along with panic, phobias, self-criticism, people-pleasing, low self-esteem, and what tends to travel with them. Not sure if your situation fits? Just ask.

Reach out through the contact form, or call or email me directly, to set up a free, 15-minute consultation. We'll talk through what's going on and whether I'm a good fit for your needs. If I'm not, I'll gladly point you toward someone who may be.
