Frequently Asked Questions

Individual sessions are a mimimum of $145 for a 55 minute session. I do offer a sliding fee scale and have limited sliding fee spots. If you are unable to pay the private pay fee at this time, please reach out to me to discuss options!

Currently I am in-network with:CignaAetnaBCBS Regence of Washington If I am not in your network, I am happy to provide a superbill to you if your insurance provides reimbursement for out of network providers. Clients are often reimbursed a good amount for their sessions, so please check with your insurance provider to see if you could benefit from this!

Therapy is an investment in yourself. And it is indeed a financial commitment. As you begin to develop new, more effective thoughts and behaviors, you may find that your work, your health, and even your finances are impacted positively. Investing in therapy as an act of self-care can be a continued investment in your overall well-being and success in life. I accept HSA and FSA payments if you have this set up with your employer's benefits. Please ask about sliding fee scale slots if your income is unable to accomodate payment. I offer a limited amount of sliding fee spaces.

I’m not the right therapist for everyone and I don’t pretend to be. I encourage you to read more about me and my approach. If you’re looking for someone to feel safe with, to empower you and be your cheerleader, and maybe even share a laugh when we need a break, I may be right for you. Let’s set up an initial free phone consultation before you book that first session and we’ll decide together if we align. If not, you’re not obligated to work with me or even seek therapy after our call. Some questions to ask yourself when you’re deciding if you’d like to work with me (or any other therapist for that matter): Does this person make me feel comfortable? Do I “like” them? Do I feel like I can trust them to keep our conversations confidential? Does it seem like they understand me? Does their availability align with my schedule and needs?

I work with individuals of all different identities and backgrounds in the state of Texas. Many of my clients are professionals. I work with undergrad, graduate, and even high school students. Also, while some of my clients have been to therapy before, many of my clients are new to therapy. I specialize in a wide range of mental health issues including: Anxiety Depression Mood Disorders Anger Management Coping Skills Life Transitions Relationship Issues Self Esteem Sexual Abuse Sleep or Insomnia Stress Suicidal Ideation Trauma and PTSD Women's Issues

I use an integrative approach. I combine various models and tools from various psychotherapy schools to cater your treatment to you. I specialize in CBT and DBT. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is Cognitive Processing accomplished through talk therapy. CBT helps you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking. Clients begin to view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) also provides clients with new skills. Clients learn to better manage painful emotions and decrease conflict in relationships. I also use Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused, Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), and Strength-Based therapies, among other methods to address anxiety, depression, stress, and other issues, and help you develop new, more effective thoughts and behaviors using the skills and tools you’ve acquired in our sessions. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). It’s a psychotherapy treatment that is typically beneficial for processing trauma. I use this training for specific cases, however, if it’s of interest to you, I’m happy to use this approach in our session to help you decide if it’s right for you.

Yes, all sessions with me are absolutely confidential. I comply with data privacy and will only provide information to those you choose to sign a Release of Information for. We will often have a discussion about who you are selecting and what you'd like them to know so that you are knowledgeable about what you are signing at the time of requesting to complete any ROI. There are exceptions to confidentiality: 1) immediate threat of harm to self or other 2) Abuse or exploitation of a minor or elderly person

This work looks different for everyone. I will always be honest and upfront with you about our progress, your options, and what I think is best for you. We will discuss progress along the way and I'm very considerate of your time and finances as I recognize this is a big commitment to make each month. My feelings aren’t hurt if you decide to end or work together at any point in time!

Before our scheduled session, I will send a link to a HIPPA Compliant software for us to use during our video sessions. This provides encryption to the link that we are using to help protect privacy. It will be as easy as clicking a link and typing your name! I'll do the rest!
