Everything you're wondering

I work with a wide range of concerns in children, adolescents, and families — including anxiety, behavioral challenges, emotional dysregulation, grief and loss, trauma, school struggles, life transitions like divorce or a move, low self-esteem, and social difficulties. If you're unsure whether what your child is going through fits, just reach out. I'm happy to talk it through.

I primarily work with children and adolescents, and I also see parents — both for parent coaching and for their own individual support. Many of my services involve the whole family, particularly when working with younger children. If you're wondering whether someone in your family is a good fit, feel free to ask.

It depends on the service and what you're working on. Some approaches, like PCIT, are skill-based and have a clear graduation point — typically 12–20 sessions. Others, like individual therapy, move at the client's pace and continue as long as they're useful. I don't keep people in therapy longer than needed, and I'll always be honest with you about progress.

The best way is to have a conversation. A brief consultation lets us talk through what's going on, what you've already tried, and what your goals are — and from there I can recommend the approach most likely to help. You can also browse the Services page to get a sense of each option before reaching out.

The first session is an intake — a chance for us to get to know each other and for me to understand what's going on for your family. We'll talk about what brought you in, your child's history and current concerns, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. It's a conversation, not an interrogation. You don't need to have everything figured out before we meet.

It depends on the service. For individual child therapy and PCIT, children are involved in sessions. For parent coaching, sessions are typically just for the parent or caregiver. Some services blend both. I'll give you a clear picture of what to expect before we start so you can plan accordingly.

Having both caregivers involved is helpful when possible, but it's not required. Single parents, divorced families, and households where one parent is unavailable are all welcome — we'll work with whoever is present. If multiple caregivers are able to participate, I'll let you know when and how that makes sense for the approach we're using.

Yes. In-person sessions are held in Georgetown, TX. Telehealth is available to any Texas resident, and most services can be delivered remotely. If you have questions about whether a specific service works well via telehealth, just ask — I'll give you an honest answer.

I don't accept insurance directly. However, I provide a superbill — an itemized receipt with the diagnostic and billing codes your insurer needs — so you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement on your own. Many clients with OON benefits receive partial reimbursement this way. I recommend calling your insurance company before we start to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits.

Ongoing sessions are $185 for a 60-minute appointment. The initial intake is $250 and runs 90 minutes. Sliding-scale availability is limited — please ask if cost is a barrier for your family.

That's a completely normal place to be. You're welcome to reach out with questions before committing to anything — I'd rather help you make the right decision for your family than have you start something that isn't the right fit. If I'm not the best person to help, I'll tell you honestly and point you somewhere better.

This is really common, especially with older children and teenagers. Resistance doesn't mean therapy won't work — it often just means we need to meet them where they are. I'm experienced at building rapport with reluctant kids, and I'll never force a child to engage before they're ready. It can help to frame therapy as a space that belongs to them, not something being done to them.

The easiest way is to request a consultation through the Request an appointment page. You'll share a little about what's going on, and we'll find a time to connect. From there, we'll figure out together what makes sense as a next step.
