The initial 75-minute intake session is $215 and all subsequent 50-minute sessions are $185.

I’m an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. Payment is made at the time of your session, but I’m happy to provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

There are a few reasons I’ve chosen to remain out of network. Using insurance for therapy typically requires a mental health diagnosis, which becomes part of your medical record and insurance companies may have a say in what services are covered or considered medically necessary. Staying out of network allows the decisions about your therapy to remain between us and gives me more flexibility in how I work with clients.

Out-of-network benefits vary between plans, so I recommend contacting your insurance company directly to ask about your coverage. If you choose to use those benefits, you’ll be responsible for submitting your superbills and following up with your insurance company regarding reimbursement.

I have a limited number of reduced-fee spots available for clients who need them. Availability varies depending on my current caseload, so you're welcome to ask when we connect.

Yes! I offer both in-person and virtual therapy. In-person sessions are available at my Austin office on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and virtual sessions are available to clients located anywhere in Texas.

Most of my clients meet with me weekly, especially when we're first getting started. I've found that meeting consistently gives us the opportunity to get to know each other, explore things more deeply, and build on what we're working through without feeling like we're starting over each time.

As we go, some clients eventually move to every other week. There's no set timeline for that and we'll figure out together what frequency makes the most sense for you and the work we're doing.

I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. Sessions canceled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice, as well as missed appointments, are charged the full session fee. I understand that life happens, but because that time is reserved specifically for you, I'm generally unable to fill the appointment on short notice.

Yes! I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation before scheduling your first session.

It’s a chance for us to briefly talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re looking for, and whether I might be a good fit. You’re also welcome to ask me any questions you have about working together.

If it feels like a good fit on both sides, we can talk about scheduling from there.

Our first session is mostly about getting to know you and beginning to understand the bigger picture. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what’s been going on in your life, some of the experiences and relationships that have shaped you, and what you’re hoping might feel different.

You don’t need to arrive with a perfectly organized explanation of yourself or know exactly what you want to work on. I’ll ask questions, we’ll follow what feels important, and we’ll start putting some of the pieces together.

I want the first session to feel like the beginning of an actual conversation, not an interview you need to prepare for.

Therapy with me is conversational, collaborative, and pretty human. I’m not a therapist who sits silently and occasionally asks, “And how does that make you feel?” I’m engaged in the conversation with you. I’ll ask questions, make connections, tell you what I’m noticing, and kindly challenge you when I think there’s something worth looking at more closely.

We’ll spend time understanding how your experiences, relationships, brain, body, and patterns connect, but we’re not just collecting insight for the sake of insight. We’ll also pay attention to what happens when you try something different, what gets in the way, and what actually works for you.

There will be serious conversations. There will also probably be laughter, tangents, occasional swearing, and moments when something we’ve been talking about for months suddenly clicks in a completely different way.

Therapy can be deep without being formal.

A good therapeutic fit is about more than whether a therapist works with the thing that brought you in. You should also feel comfortable with the person sitting across from you.

I tend to work especially well with people who are curious about themselves, appreciate a therapist who is engaged and conversational, and want space to go deeper than simply managing symptoms. You don’t need to open up immediately or know exactly what you want from therapy. But being willing to be curious, make connections, and participate in the process gives us a really good place to start.
