Frequently asked questions

Finding a counselor who is the right fit for you is an important part of the therapy process. If you've read through my website and what I've shared about myself and the areas of therapy I focus on resonates with you, I encourage you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation or schedule an intake session.Both are opportunities for you to get a feel for who I am, ask questions, and decide whether I’m the right therapist for you. And if we talk and you decide you'd like to continue looking, I'm happy to help provide referrals to other counselors who may be a better fit.

I help women who feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in difficult relationships or relationship patterns, or disconnected from themselves. Together, we can work toward healing from painful relationship experiences, breaking free from people-pleasing and codependent patterns, building healthy boundaries, and rediscovering your sense of self and worth.I work with concerns including:Anxiety and overwhelmPeople-pleasing and codependencyDifficult or emotionally unhealthy relationshipsRelationship and family-of-origin woundsEmotional abuse and gaslightingTrauma and relational traumaDivorce, separation, and major life transitionsSelf-esteem, identity, and self-worthFamily and blended-family challenges My goal is to offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can understand what you've been through, heal from the past, and move forward with greater freedom, clarity, and confidence.

I incorporate a variety of therapy modalities and tailor our work together to your unique needs, goals, and experiences. I work collaboratively with my clients, using the therapeutic relationship as an important part of the healing process.My approach is rooted in an attachment perspective and offers relationally based, trauma-informed therapy. I draw from a variety of approaches to help you break free from painful habits and beliefs, heal from hurtful relationship wounds, and grow more fully into who you truly are.Some of the approaches I incorporate include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed approaches, mindfulness, and somatic approaches.

Our first session is an opportunity for me to learn more about you, understand what you'd like to work on in therapy, begin developing goals together, and answer any questions you may have. It's also a chance for you to get a feel for who I am and decide whether I’m a good fit for you and the work you'd like to do.I generally start by explaining how I approach therapy and what you can expect from me. From there, we'll begin talking about what brought you to therapy, what you're hoping to get from it, and what you'd like our work together to look like.

If you have a concern, my hope is that you will bring it to my attention so we can talk through it and resolve it together. However, you may contact the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Counsel or the Office of Attorney General’s Consumer Protection through their respective websites.

I am currently accepting new private-pay clients. Sessions are $165 for 50 minutes.I do not file directly with insurance, but I may be able to provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. I encourage you to contact your insurance provider before beginning therapy to confirm your out-of-network mental health benefits, coverage, and reimbursement requirements.
