Frequently asked questions
Got questions?
I’ve got answers.
-
My office address is 1225 N Loop W #935, Houston, TX 77008. I am also able to see clients virtually throughout Texas.
-
Therapy will be conducted via a HIPAA-compliant video platform. Video links are sent prior to session time.
Some of the advantages of online therapy include the ease of being able to schedule therapy around your work or kid’s school schedule, being in the comfort of your own home, and reducing out-of-pocket costs (gas, parking, etc.)
-
I offer in-person appointments on Thursdays.
-
As soon as we schedule your first appointment, I’ll email you intake paperwork to complete online and submit before your appointment.
It’s perfectly normal to feel nervous before starting therapy! Just remember— take a deep breath and be yourself. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable and safe to share your story and talk about what is bringing you to therapy.
The initial session is also an opportunity for you to ask me any questions you may have about the therapy process.
-
This depends on several factors, such as what brings you to therapy, willingness for change, frequency of appointments, etc.
There’s no obligation to commit to any specific number of sessions. As therapy progresses, many decide to tape off the frequency of their sessions. Having said that, many of my clients will see me for a minimum of six months.
-
Fees are due at time of service. Rates are currently $240 for a 50-minute session and $300 for a 90-minute session.
Payments can be made with a credit card. Clients are required to put a credit card on file to hold an appointment time. If agreed, your credit card can be automatically charged at the time of each session.
-
Please remember to cancel or reschedule your appointment 24 hours in advance. You will be responsible for the entire fee if the cancellation is made in less than 24 hours. This is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you. If you are late for a session, you may lose some of that session time.
-
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.

I am not in-network with insurance. However, if you wish to use your insurance for partial reimbursement of services, I can provide you with a “superbill” that summarizes your treatment.
You are responsible for sending the superbill along with any paperwork required by your insurance company to them. Contact your insurance company before beginning treatment to find out what reimbursement options or rates they offer and what the process is.
Let’s start your journey, together.
