Areas of Focus & Approach
I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, and trauma. My approach is grounded, practical, and tailored to your needs. I have specialized training in working with those involved in car accidents and personal injury, who may also be struggling with concussions and TBIs.
I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based approach that helps process and reduce the impact of distressing or traumatic experiences.
EMDR can be especially helpful if you feel stuck in patterns that talk therapy alone hasn’t fully resolved.
Whether we’re using EMDR or other approaches, our work will focus on helping you:
- Understand your experiences
- Build effective coping strategies
- Move toward lasting change

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
I currently accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon (TX, MN, AL), Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, and Ascension/SmartHealth (TX only). I am in the process of expanding insurance options. Please contact me directly for the most current information about accepted plans.
How much are sessions?
This is based on your insurance information and co-pay/deductible. I work with Headway, which can help determine your insurance benefits and payment due. Individual therapy sessions are $150 per session without insurance.
How often will we meet?
Most clients begin with weekly sessions. Over time, we can adjust the frequency based on your needs and goals.
What is EMDR and how does it help?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based approach that helps process and reduce the impact of distressing or traumatic experiences.
It can be especially helpful if you feel stuck in patterns that haven’t fully shifted through traditional talk therapy.
What if I’ve never been to therapy before?
How do I get started?
You can reach out through the contact form or email to schedule your first session.
From there, we’ll take the next steps together.
What is a superbill?
A superbill is a detailed receipt for therapy services that you can submit to your insurance provider. Depending on your plan, you may be reimbursed for a portion of the session cost.
How long is each session?
Sessions are typically 50 minutes.
Do I need to know exactly what I want to work on?
Not at all. Many people start therapy feeling unsure or overwhelmed.
Part of our work is helping you clarify what’s going on and what you’d like to change.
Is EMDR required?
No. EMDR is one of several approaches we can use.
Your therapy will always be tailored to what feels appropriate and helpful for you.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. What you share in therapy is kept confidential, with a few legal exceptions (which will be explained at the beginning of our work together).
What if I’m not sure this is the right fit?
That’s a valid concern.
Finding the right therapist matters. If we begin working together and it doesn’t feel like the right fit, we can talk about that openly and explore other options.
You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin.
If you’re ready to start making sense of things and moving forward, this is a place to do that work.
