frequently asked questions
-
If you’re looking for a therapist who’s curious, thoughtful, and actually shows up like a real human—laughs, swears a little, keeps it real—then we might be a good fit. I like to explore things both emotionally and intellectually, and I’m not about quick fixes or surface-level solutions. I’m also not just here to nod along with your worldview—I’ll challenge you (with care) to look at your patterns, your assumptions, and where you might be getting stuck.
If that kind of work sounds like your vibe, a free consult can help us feel that out together, so contact me.

I blend collaborative methods to explore modern science, philosophy, education, literature, theory, emotion, & attachment—so I can move with clients & help make sense of complex relational & internal patterns. I’m not afraid of depth—or taboo: whether it’s identity, power, kink, fear, or family, no topic is off-limits.

We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’re hoping for, & begin getting a feel for how we’ll work together. You don’t need to prepare — just come as you are.
-
I ask a ton of questions, bringing curiosity, care, laughter, & insight — one thing to note, though, I will wait for you to invite me into stories, worlds, experiences, and desires. And I will not try to solve or fix anything because I inherently don’t believe people need to be fixed.
-
I work best with thoughtful, high-functioning individuals & partnerships navigating relationships, life transitions, anxiety, or inner conflict—especially those looking to explore more deeply, not just seek a quick fix. A few clients have jokingly nicknamed me their “gay between,” since I help them explore perspectives & relationship norms outside of what they’ve always known. I welcome & affirm clients of all races, genders, & backgrounds, including fellow members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
-
I tend to see therapy as a garden we cultivate together—preparing the soil, planting new insights, & pruning what no longer serves you. With steady care & attention, meaningful growth has space to grow.
I prefer working with folks who are open to start with weekly sessions so we can move beyond surface-level patterns & into deeper, lasting change. As we get to know each other more, we can have ongoing conversations about session frequency.

individual therapy (50 min)
standard rate: $160/session
sustaining rate*: $185/session
couples therapy (50 min)
standard rate: $190/session
sustaining rate*: $215/session
*choosing the "sustaining rate" helps create space for those needing a reduced rate. Reduced rate availability limited.
I currently do not work directly with insurance. Many folks choose to use their out-of-network benefits or pay out-of-pocket, which gives more freedom to choose a therapist who fits your needs and allows us to work more flexibly toward your goals. For those seeking insurance reimbursement, I provide a Superbill that can be submitted to most plans.

Yes—telehealth is available to anyone in Texas. Although, to be honest, I prefer in-person sessions when possible.

To protect the continuity of the work, each person is allowed one cancellation credit every four months, helping your growth receive consistent care. I try to reschedule and work with folks but I request a 24 hour notice to reschedule.

It’s more common than you might think — not every therapist is the right fit for every person, & that’s okay. If you’ve had a hard experience in the past, we can talk about it & move at a pace that feels safe & collaborative.
