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 or weekend appointments?

    Yes, I offer limited evening and Saturday 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, Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), Cigna, Magellan, and United Healthcare.

    If you have a different insurance provider, I can also process out-of-network claims on your behalf or provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. 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. If you’re unsure where to start, I also offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

  • 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.
