"The only way out is through."
- Robert Frost
Initial Consultation
Research continues to show that a strong therapeutic relationship is one of the best predictors for positive treatment outcomes. A client is more likely to stay in therapy and get the most out of their experience when they work with a clinician they connect with and trust. Thus, establishing a good therapeutic relationship is vital for successful treatment.
​
My goal is to ensure that we'd work well together so your counseling experience can be as beneficial as possible.
To help achieve this, I offer free 15-minute consultations via phone or telehealth. We'll talk about your therapy goals, answer any questions you may have, and see if we would be a good fit.
Individual Therapy
​I offer virtual therapy for individuals 18 years and older in Texas. Sessions are 50 minutes on average. Together, we will work to identify your goals, create a treatment plan tailored to your needs, and discover just how capable you are of doing hard things.
​
I'm paneled with multiple BlueCross BlueShield of Texas plans. If you have a different insurance provider and wish to submit claims for reimbursement, proper paperwork can be accessed through the client portal.
​
My private pay rate is $175 per 50-minute session. This fee includes time for session prep, progress notes, and treatment planning outside of session time.

Professional Development
Presentations
Are you or your clinicians interested in learning more about OCD, anxiety, BFRBs, etc.? I offer presentations that review psychoeducation on what these diagnoses are and how to spot them during intakes and subsequent sessions. I provide you with resources and screening tools to help ensure your clients are receiving the specialty care they need. We establish a working professional relationship and make strides towards ending the stigma surrounding OCD and related disorders.
