  • Is online therapy effective?
    Yes. Studies show online therapy is as effective as in-person sessions for many concerns including anxiety, OCD, and trauma. Virtual sessions are also more accessible and flexible for many clients.
  • Do you offer online therapy in Texas?
    Yes, I offer online therapy for teens and adults, throughout the entire state of Texas. Whether you're in Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, El Paso, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, Corpus Christi, McAllen, Waco, Lubbock, Southlake, Highland Park, Bellaire, or a smaller town, you can access therapy through secure virtual sessions from the comfort of your home.
  • What ages do you work with?
    I work with teens age 13 and up, as well as adults seeking individual therapy.
  • How long are therapy sessions and what are the fees?
    Sessions are either 50 minutes ($120) or 80 minutes ($180). Fees are charged the morning of each session to the card on file.
  • Do you offer a sliding scale?
    Yes, I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for clients experiencing financial hardship. These are reviewed every 6–12 months.
  • What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?
    I require 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or reschedules. Late cancellations or no-shows are charged the full fee, unless due to an emergency. If I cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice (outside of emergencies), your next session is free.
  • What therapy methods do you use?
    I use a blend of EMDR, Brainspotting, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Somatic Therapy, and Somatic CBT, tailored to your goals and needs.
  • What is online therapy and how does it work in Texas?
    Online therapy, also called teletherapy, allows you to meet with a licensed therapist via secure video sessions. I provide virtual counseling across Texas for teens, adults, and parents.
  • Do you offer evening or late-night therapy sessions?
    Yes, I offer evening and late-night therapy appointments Monday through Thursday to support clients with full schedules or caregiving responsibilities.
  • Do you offer therapy for teens with anxiety, OCD or trauma?
    Yes. I offer online therapy for teens (13+) dealing with anxiety, obsessive thoughts, trauma, and identity-related stress. My work with teens is supportive, nonjudgmental, and paced to meet them where they are. Many are referred by parents or schools, but teens are always welcome to reach out directly too.
  • How should prepare for my first therapy session online?
    Your first session is a little different than a regular therapy session. It includes a structured intake based on the forms you'll complete beforehand. Be sure to complete and review any paperwork I send prior to our meeting. We won’t be able to begin unless all documentation is submitted. Beyond that, just show up as you are. We’ll use this time to explore what brings you to therapy, what’s shaped your life, and where you'd like to grow.
  • What are online therapy sessions like?
    Each therapy session is tailored to you. Some clients focus on inner child work or process recent events. Others engage in somatic exercises to better understand their body, or build structured skills for emotional regulation. No two sessions are exactly alike, but we always work toward the goals you've set. I check in regularly to track your progress and adapt your therapy plan as needed.
  • What’s your therapeutic style?
    My approach to therapy is integrative and holistic, combining talk-based and body-based methods. I draw from EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and intuitive relational work. I aim to meet you where you are, emotionally, physically, and energetically, while also gently supporting the changes you’re ready to make.
  • Can therapy really help me with anxiety, OCD or trauma?
    Yes. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, OCD, trauma, or a mix of it all, therapy provides a space to feel heard and supported while learning new tools. You might notice change by expressing what you've been holding in, challenging unhelpful thoughts, or learning how to calm your nervous system. When therapy aligns with your needs, it becomes a place for real healing and transformation.
  • How long does therapy last?
    Therapy looks different for everyone. Some people come for a few months to learn tools and move on. Others find long-term support in therapy as life evolves. Whether you’re here for a short-term goal or deeper, ongoing work, I’ll collaborate with you on a timeline that feels sustainable and supportive.
  • What if I don't know what to say during therapy?
    That’s okay. Many people come to therapy unsure of what to say, especially in the beginning. You don’t need to have anything figured out. I’ll help guide the process and create space for whatever is present, even if that’s silence or uncertainty. Some sessions start slow and lead somewhere meaningful; others focus on the body’s sensations when words are hard to find.
  • What is somatic therapy, and how can it help with anxiety or trauma?
    Somatic therapy helps you reconnect with your body to better understand how you store and respond to stress, anxiety, and trauma. Instead of only talking through issues, we pay attention to physical sensations, tension, and regulation. This mind-body approach is especially helpful for clients who feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in survival mode.
  • Can online therapy help with trauma or PTSD?
    Yes. I offer trauma-informed therapy using EMDR, Brainspotting, and Somatic Therapy to help clients process trauma and reconnect with their nervous systems at their own pace.
  • What does ERP therapy for OCD involve?
    ERP, or Exposure and Response Prevention, is a proven therapy for OCD. It helps reduce compulsive behaviors by gradually facing intrusive thoughts without giving in to the need for certainty.
  • What kind of anxiety do you treat in therapy?
    I support clients with generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, high-functioning anxiety, and perfectionism. Therapy helps you calm your thoughts and reconnect with your body.
  • What is the difference between EMDR & Brainspotting therapy?
    Both EMDR and Brainspotting are trauma therapies that help you process overwhelming memories. EMDR uses eye movements and a specific protocol to reprocess trauma. Brainspotting is more intuitive and still, helping you access and release stored emotional pain through eye position. I offer both approaches, and we’ll choose the one that best supports your healing.
  • What therapy approach is beset for anxiety, trauma or OCD?
    There’s no single “best” approach, just the one that fits you. I draw from evidence-based treatments like Somatic Therapy, EMDR, ERP for OCD, and Brainspotting. Some clients need tools and structure; others benefit from body awareness and deeper emotional processing. We’ll collaborate to find what works best for your nervous system and goals.
  • Why am I hesitant to contact you?
    Making decisions can be as tricky as trying to fold a fitted sheet - it sounds straightforward, but who really knows how it's done? Maybe you're thinking, "What if this therapist thinks I have a weird sense of humor?" Or perhaps you're worried about that awkward first conversation? Maybe you're concerned about the therapeutic journey feeling like a cliché movie plot, don't worry. We can add some unexpected twists, maybe a subplot involving a therapy cat (I wish!). Contacting a therapist is like starting a new adventure-- you never know what challenges and treasures await, but it's always worth it. I'm here, ready to embark on this quirky, heartfelt journey with you!
  • Will I get homework?
    I’m really big on providing resources for my clients to use in-between sessions. Obviously the more work you do outside of the session, the more progress you’ll see happen. However, people have lives to live, and it’s a process like anything else. Whether you only make use of my resources 1 time in a year, or once a day, I like to provide the opportunity regardless. It’s never HOMEWORK, and more so a resource if a circumstance calls for it. We’ll end up incorporating the resource in session if you prefer too!
  • Can we talk about my favorite tv show/movie/music?
    Absolutely! You can engage in therapeutic processing and connect it with your favorite tv show, movie or song. Sometimes it can even demonstrate what we’re trying to explain (emotions are hard to put into words). Or you can use a scene/lyric to further explore what might come up for you, and be able to connect with your main therapy goals. Therapy is what you want and need it to be!
  • Will you analyze my dreams?
    Yes. That’s how I can learn to sneak my way into them. Just kidding! All joking aside, dream work can actually be beneficial for some people. It doesn’t necessarily have to lead to some incredible meaning, but it can be a pathway into processing other aspects of your life.
