Questions people ask
If yours isn't here, ask me during the free consult.
Do you do couples counseling?
No. I work with individuals, one on one. That gives you space to be completely honest about what you think and want. If your partner wants support too, they're welcome to see their own counselor.
Where do I need to be for sessions?
Anywhere in Texas where you can talk freely. You need to be physically in a state where I'm licensed during each session. People join from home, a parked car, or a private office.
Do you see clients outside Texas?
Yes, I also see clients in Vermont. Everything else on this site, including fees and the free consult, works the same way.
How do video sessions work?
You'll get a secure link through the client portal. Click it at your appointment time from a phone, tablet, or computer. There's nothing to install on a computer.
How much does it cost?
Sessions are $80, and I accept most major insurance plans and EAP benefits. There is a sliding scale when money is tight. See fees and insurance for the full list.
What happens in the free consult?
It's a 15-minute phone call. You tell me a little about what's going on, ask whatever you want about how I work, and we decide together whether it's a good fit. There's no charge and no obligation.
I don't know yet whether I want to stay or leave. Is that okay?
Yes. Many people start exactly there. I won't push you in either direction. We'll work on getting you clear enough to decide.
How long will I be in therapy?
It depends on you. Some people come for a handful of sessions to get through a specific decision. Others stay longer while they rebuild. We'll check in regularly about whether it's helping.
Do you work with LGBTQ+ clients?
Yes. All relationships are welcome: married or not, monogamous or not, queer or straight.
What if I'm in crisis?
This practice can't respond to emergencies. If you're thinking about harming yourself or someone else, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or call 911.
Just call me
It's 15 minutes, it's free, and there's no sales pitch. Tell me what's going on, ask whatever you want, and see whether I seem like someone you could actually talk to. You don't need to have it figured out first.
