Finding a therapist can be hard. You can read someone’s website, look at their credentials, and still have no idea what it will actually feel like to sit across from them. Feeling comfortable with someone matters. So does feeling like you can be yourself.
Maybe you’re here because something has been bothering you for a while. Maybe it’s a sadness you can’t quite explain, feeling different or out of place, questions about who you are, or something that isn’t working in your relationships. Maybe you’re not even sure what it is yet.
You don’t have to come to therapy with the right words or a plan. You can show up exactly as you are, and we can start there.
I believe that being truly seen and understood can make it easier to understand ourselves. I don’t see therapy as a process of fixing what’s wrong with you. Instead, it’s about getting to know you and helping you make sense of what you’re going through. Sometimes that means looking at things that are painful or difficult. We can do that together, at a pace that feels right for you.
Most of what I do is listen closely and reflect back what I'm hearing. I try to put myself in your shoes and understand your experience from the inside. I'll ask questions to take the conversation deeper, and I leave room for humor too. Life is hard, and being able to laugh together can be part of how we get through it.
I'm primarily a humanistic therapist, which means I trust that you already have what you need to grow, and my job is to help you reach it. I also draw on specialized training in ACT, CBT, motivational interviewing, and interpersonal process therapy, plus a certification in CBT for insomnia (CBT-I). I bring in whatever fits you rather than asking you to fit a method.
As we go, I'll keep checking in on how therapy is feeling for you. I want to know it's actually helping and that we're moving toward what you came for. If something isn't working, I'd rather hear it so we can adjust.
Sessions are held over secure telehealth video. I see clients in Texas and all PSYPACT participating states, which covers most of the country.
People reach out for all kinds of reasons. Some of the most common:
I'm a private pay practice, which means I don't bill insurance directly. Each session is $300 for 50 minutes, paid through the secure patient portal. If you have out-of-network benefits, I'm glad to provide superbills you can submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement.
I start with a free 15-minute phone consultation to see whether we're a good fit. It's a chance for you to ask questions, and if I'm not the right person to help, we can work together to find a better fit for you.
