Frequently Asked Questions
-
All sessions are virtual. I’m licensed in Texas, so you need to be physically located in Texas at the time of each session, even if you’re only traveling somewhere else for a week.
-
Yes! I’m in network with Cigna, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, and UnitedHealthcare/Optum. When you book through Headway, you’ll see an estimate of your cost before you book anything.
Not in network with your plan? I also offer self-pay and superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Details are on my Fees & Insurance page.
-
I work with adults navigating relationships and dating, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, ADHD, career, and big life decisions and transitions. Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware people, and many are neurodivergent. What they have in common is wanting to understand themselves better and actually make changes.
-
Yes, and many of my clients are neurodivergent, including people who are ADHD or autistic. I welcome both diagnosed and self-identified clients.
I don’t provide formal ADHD or autism assessments, but I’m happy to talk through whether one might be helpful for you.
-
Conversational, collaborative, and direct. I’ll name what I’m noticing and ask the questions that might feel uncomfortable but are useful.
I don’t follow a rigid script. My approach draws on attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic work, and we’ll focus on what’s most relevant for you in each session.
-
Our first session is a full 50-minute session. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’re hoping to get out of therapy, and what feels most important to focus on first. You’ll also get a real sense of how I work.
If we decide it’s not the right fit, I’m happy to help point you toward someone who is.
-
Most clients start weekly, and we adjust from there. Some people work with me for a few months during a rough patch. Others work with me for several years, moving to every other week or monthly over time.
We’ll decide together what fits your goals and your life. You can read more on my What Therapy Is Like page.
-
Not at all. Lots of people start therapy unsure of what they want to focus on. We can use the first few sessions to figure out what’s been feeling hard and what you’d like support with.
-
That’s really common, and you don’t need to come in with a plan. I’ll ask questions to help get things started, and it’s always okay to pause, think, or say “I don’t know.” Some people like to jot down notes before a session, and you’re welcome to bring them.
-
Absolutely. Fidget, pace, stim, grab a snack, or tell me if you need a minute. Since sessions are virtual, you’re in your own space, so make it comfortable. You don’t have to mask with me.
-
It’s completely okay to be unsure. Our first session is a chance to see how it feels to talk with me and whether this is a good fit.
I also care a lot about you being able to tell me what’s working and what isn’t. Therapy works best when we can talk openly about what’s helpful and what feels off.
-
Family and friends are wonderful and important, but they have their own feelings about your choices and their own place in your life. With me, you get someone you don’t owe anything to: a trained professional focused entirely on you, who can see patterns that are hard to spot from the inside.
-
Email or text is best for scheduling and logistics. I’m not able to provide therapy or crisis support between sessions, so please save the bigger stuff for our time together.
-
I’m not able to provide emergency or crisis support. If you’re in crisis, please call or text 988 (the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room.
