 FAQs

  • Following the free consultation, I charge $175 for a 50-minute session.

  • Sure do! In an additional effort to provide affordable care, I offer a limited amount of sliding scale space on my caseload. Feel free to reach out to inquire about any openings. If spaces are full, I’m happy to add you to my waitlist or you can find other affordable options here.

  • In order to establish a working therapeutic relationship and make progress toward your treatment goals, I recommend beginning with weekly therapy. As we progress toward your goals, we can reassess frequency of appointments.

  • Short answer: it depends. There is not one set schedule or formula for healing. While some clients come in with a very solution oriented approach and stay on for a shorter period of time (weeks to months), I also have clients on my caseload I have worked with for years. We do this at your pace, and continue to re-evaluate along the way to make sure therapy remains beneficial to you.

  • At this time, I do not accept insurance and am considered an out-of-network provider. You are able to use an HSA card for payment, or if that’s not an option I will gladly provide you with the documentation to claim out of network benefits upon your request.

    If you are interested in finding out what your insurance will cover for out of network providers (me) I currently have an account with Mentaya where they can do the calculations for you!

  • I currently see clients Monday-Thursday from 9am - 6pm. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are available for in-person sessions off of 25th & Lamar near Downtown Austin.
