Do you take Insurance?

No, I do not take insurance. Private payment provides you with the benefits of confidentiality, which I value highly. As an out-of-network provider, I do not bill insurance companies directly, but I am happy to provide you with monthly receipts that you can submit for reimbursement. Please ask your insurance company about their out-of-network benefits towards mental health counseling. It may also be important to ask about your deductible. It is probably a good idea to call your insurance company before you schedule an appointment if you are hoping for partial reimbursement.

What are your rates?

My rates reflect a commitment to providing unparalleled private, responsive, direct, and impactful care ; the value lies in the personalized attention and quality of service you will receive.

My rates are based on the length of the session:

45 minutes $225

70 minutes $330 (1.5 session);

90 minutes $450 (double session)

EMDR sessions 45 minutes $300

Couples counseling 60 minutes $300

Urgent appointments $300 (If you need support within 24 hours)

Sunday appointments $275

Cancellation/Missed Appointment Policy:

I require 24 hours notice for all cancellations; but 48 hours is super helpful so I can fill your spot. Failure to cancel within the that time frame results in a charge of your full session fee.

Do you work with children, families or couples?

I work with individuals, ages 10-80. I work with a limited number of couples, reach out to see if I have availability.

Yes, I can meet virtually with anyone in Texas.

Are you available outside of business hours?

I'm very responsive to your needs and dedicated to your healing. I’ll do my best to accommodate urgent requests.

How often should we meet?

What works best for you is important. I suggest starting with two monthly meetings (at minimum), as connection and compassion are powerful healers. Let's see if we're a good match – you will feel better.

What are the confidentiality standards you are required to meet?

What you share is confidential, except where US law requires reporting suspected child abuse/neglect or in the case of a court subpoena. Texas and US law also require me to report immediate risks of suicide or homicide.

For a counseling emergency, call 911.
