What can I expect in the first therapy session?

Starting therapy can feel unfamiliar or even a little intimidating. The first session is a space to understand what’s bringing you in, what you’ve been experiencing, and what kind of support you need. I’ll also review consent, confidentiality, and what to expect moving forward. From there, we begin building a foundation for the work.

Where do you provide therapy?

I provide secure telehealth therapy to clients located in Texas and Arizona. Clinical supervision is currently available only to Texas LMSWs.

How do insurance and self-pay work?

I partner with Headway to process in-network insurance claims for eligible individual therapy services. If you have out-of-network benefits, Thrizer may help verify and process those benefits. Self-pay is also available, and HSA or FSA funds may be used for eligible services. I offer a limited number of sliding-scale spaces. Coverage and financial responsibility depend on your specific plan and service.

Is virtual therapy actually effective?

Yes. Research shows that virtual therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy for many concerns. Many clients also find it easier to attend consistently, feel comfortable in their own space, and remain engaged in the process.

What kind of therapy do you do?

My approach is thoughtful, direct, and centered on understanding your individual experience. We focus on patterns, past experiences, and how your current environment affects you. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed therapy, tailoring sessions to what is most relevant for you. The goal is to understand what is happening in a way that supports meaningful, lasting change.

How long does therapy take to work?

This depends on what you’re working through. Some people begin noticing shifts within a few sessions as things start to make more sense. We move at a pace that supports real understanding while remaining focused on what is not working and where change is possible.

Do you work with anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, or postpartum experiences?

I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and perinatal mental health concerns, including pregnancy and postpartum experiences. If you are unsure whether your situation fits, you do not need to have that figured out before reaching out.

How do I request an appointment?

Complete the appointment-request or contact form with a little information about what you are seeking. I’ll follow up regarding availability, clinical fit, and the next appropriate step. Submitting a request does not guarantee an appointment.

Do you offer clinical supervision?

Yes. I offer virtual individual and group clinical supervision for Texas LMSWs working toward LCSW licensure. Availability, format, and fees are discussed before beginning.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

You do not have to be completely sure. If something feels overwhelming, stuck, or out of alignment, that can be enough reason to explore support. Some people benefit from weekly sessions, while others meet biweekly or periodically. We determine the appropriate frequency together based on your needs and goals.
