Frequently Asked Questions
How do virtual sessions work?
All sessions are held securely online through a HIPAA-compliant video platform. You’ll receive a private link before your appointment, and you can join from a phone, tablet, or computer in a quiet, private space. Virtual therapy offers comfort, flexibility, and consistent care, especially for clients in rural areas.
What ages do you work with?
I work with individuals ages 12 and up, including teens and adults. For adolescents, I create a safe, supportive space to explore emotions, build coping skills, and strengthen communication, while collaborating with parents when helpful and appropriate.
Do you offer evening appointments?
Yes, I offer limited evening availability to accommodate school and work schedules. Please reach out to see what times are currently open.
What can I expect in a first session?
The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, go over your goals, and begin building a supportive, collaborative relationship. You're welcome to ask questions and share at your own pace — there's no pressure to have it all figured out.
Do you accept insurance or offer superbills?
Yes, I currently accept Aetna and Cigna.
If you have a different insurance provider, I can offer an out-of-network option for you. If you’re unsure about your coverage, I’m happy to guide you through verifying your benefits before we begin.
How do I book a session?
You can easily request an appointment here. Just click on the “Request Appointment” button to submit your information. I will contact you back as soon as I can to discuss available times. If you prefer, you can contact me at (254) 390-9243 to speak with me by phone.
Do you include parents in teen therapy?
Yes, when working with minors, I encourage open communication with parents or caregivers as it supports the therapy process. While sessions are confidential, I provide general updates and guidance as appropriate, always respecting the teen’s privacy and autonomy.
Is faith/spirituality part of the therapy?
It can be, if you’d like it to be. I offer space for clients who want to incorporate their faith, values, or spiritual beliefs into therapy. This might look like praying through a hard season, finding meaning in struggles, or simply approaching healing from a spiritual perspective. That said, I also welcome clients who do not identify with any faith, therapy is always centered on your values, your goals, and your comfort.
