Both.

Currently, I offer weekly in-person sessions in the Central Texas / Austin area of Texas.

I see clients virtually by Zoom for regular therapy sessions across New York, Illinois, Colorado, Texas, Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, and Wisconsin.

It depends on your location.

I am an out-of-network provider in Texas—which means I do not take insurance. However, I can submit a detailed statement (called a superbill) for out-of-network claim reimbursement to your insurance company, by request.

I’m also happy to check your out-of-network benefits for you during our consultation call to help you decide if working with me is the right fit for you.

Regular therapy sessions are scheduled for 50-60 minutes.

I also offer in-person intensives for individuals, couples and groups (see below question for more information). These are extended time sesssions, often half-day, full-day or multi-day appointments & focused on a specific treatment and/or psychoeducation goal.

My therapy intensives are more structured, concentrated blocks of time focused on one specific concern, rather than an ongoing weekly commitment. It's a good fit for people who want to give real attention to something very focused, and can sometimes work as an alternative to regular weekly therapy rather than an addition to it.

Past intensives I've done include:

• Families addressing a child's eating disorder

• Couples and family members working through patterns of conflict & resentment

• Individuals processing trauma through Brainspotting

Therapy intensives can be done both in-person or virtually.

Potential clients can discuss this with me in our consultation phone call.

Yes! I always recommend we talk on the phone before scheduling a session.

I offer a free 15-20 minute phone call or Zoom consultation to clients who are interested in working with me. If we are a good fit, the next step will be to schedule our first therapy session.

Research shows that therapist-client fit remains one of the strongest predictor of positive outcomes in therapy. I consider consultation calls to assess fit very important and highly recommended.

Yes! If we are not a fit for any reason—availability, cost, or scope of practice—I am always happy to share my list of personal referrals. These include other therapists and psychiatric providers (i.e. psychiatrists, NPs, PAs, MDs).

LMFT, LCSW, and LPC / LMHC are different licenses, but day-to-day, the work is very similar. The main difference is training focus: LMFTs are systemically trained, meaning we consider the patterns that show up in a person’s relationships, and how those patterns impact them internally. LCSWs come from a social work background with a broader view of someone's life situation and resources, and LPCs / LMHCs come from general counseling with a focus on personal growth. In practice, fit with a therapist usually matters more than the specific license.

Yes. I am an Approved Supervisor Candidate of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. I supervise graduate students and pre-licensed therapists completing their clinical hours.

Most of my clinical work is with adults. However, if your teen is motivated to meet with a therapist, I am always happy to offer a free consultation phone call to see if we would be a good fit.
