  • Online therapy works much like in-person sessions, but we meet through a secure, confidential video platform that seamlessly incorporates eye movements and bilateral audio tones for EMDR. All you need is a private space, a device with a camera, and an internet connection. We’ll see and hear each other in real time, and you’ll have the same supportive, focused attention you’d receive in my office - without the travel time.

    Many clients find online therapy even more comfortable because they can join from home, have access to personal grounding tools nearby, and feel more at ease in familiar surroundings. You will still feel supported and connected throughout the process.

  • No. I offer therapy sessions online. Meeting virtually allows me to provide care to clients across Texas, Washington, Florida, Maine, Wisconsin, and New Mexico.  Online sessions give you the flexibility and comfort of attending therapy from your own space. Many clients find online therapy just as effective as in-person work - and often make therapy and EMDR more convenient and accessible. 

  • Please visit the (Fees and Scheduling) page for my current therapy options and rates.

  • No, I do not accept insurance. My services are private pay which allows us to focus fully on your needs without the restrictions insurance companies can place on treatment. 

    Depending on your current health insurance provider, it may be possible for services to be covered in full or in part based on any out of network benefits you may have. I am happy to provide the required documentation if you wish to file for out of network reimbursement through your insurance provider. If you are interested in filing for out of network reimbursement, please contact your health insurance provider and ask about any out of network behavioral health benefits you may have including - telehealth coverage, deductibles, reimbursements rates, and how you file for out of network reimbursement.

  • The Good Faith Estimate is part of the No Surprises Act, a law that helps you understand the expected costs of your care before you begin therapy. It outlines the estimated total cost for the services you’ll receive, based on our agreed-upon session rate and frequency. This estimate is provided in writing before we start working together so there are no unexpected billing surprises. 

  • Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building a sense of safety and trust. I’ll ask about what’s bringing you to therapy, your history, and your goals, but there’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for. We’ll talk about how therapy works, answer your questions, and explore what approaches might be the best fit for you.

    Many clients say the first session feels like a thoughtful conversation - focused on understanding your needs and making sure you feel comfortable moving forward. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and clear on what our work together will look like.

  • The length of therapy is different for everyone and depends on your goals, your history, and the pace that feels safe for you. Some people come to therapy for a few months to focus on a specific concern, while others choose longer-term work to address deeper patterns and create lasting change.

  • Complete the contact form.  From there, we’ll schedule a free 30-minute, no obligation consultation so you can let me know what brings you to therapy, and what you’re hoping to accomplish. I’ll answer any questions you have, and share how I can help. Then, you can determine if it feels like a good therapeutic fit for you, and we’ll schedule your first session.

  • I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a session. This allows me to offer the time to another client who may be waiting. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice, or missed appointments, are charged the full session fee. I understand that emergencies happen, and we can discuss exceptions if something unexpected comes up.

  • Yes. What you share in therapy is private and protected by law. I will not share your information without your written permission, except in rare situations in which I’m required by law to do so. We’ll go over confidentiality in detail during our first session so you know exactly how your privacy is protected.
