Meet Romanza

Thank you for considering me to accompany you on your journey toward change. Navigating the world can be tough when you consistently try to please others, have difficulty making decisions, or fear speaking your mind. I work with individuals who are often marginalized and exhausted by their unhealthy relationships with self and others. Often when we attempt to live differently, negative emotions will kick in that cause us to cling to our old ways. I know all too well how difficult it is to feel overwhelmed or trapped by your circumstances. Together we'll push back on negative self-talk, people pleasing, poor boundaries, self-sabotage, and other unhelpful patterns that may be limiting life choices. My therapeutic style is very warm, interactive, upfront, and relaxed; injecting a bit of laughter as needed. As your ally, my role is to create a safe and affirming space for you to begin exploring patterns while working towards change. Together we will strengthen your confidence and personal power to improve your positive self-talk and behaviors.

Initially, we will meet on a weekly basis. Should you feel confident in having met your theraputic goals, we can discuss the possibility of less frequent sessions or concluding our time together.

If you don’t see your insurance listed, you can inquire about out of network benefits. Out of Network benefits means that you’re responsible for the fee at the time of your appointment and, depending on your plan, a certain percentage of that may be reimbursed by your insurance provider.

I curretly accept Cigna , however I am an out-of-network provider with all other insurance companies. Many insurance plans will pay a percentage session costs for out of network providers.This normally occurs after your deductible has been met.Should you chose to be seen out of network, you will be provided with coded receipts to obtain reimbursement.

Contact your insurance provider to confirm your eligebility for out of network benefits.Should you choose this option, I will provide you with the necessary coded paperwork needed to receive reimbursement.
