Frequently Asked Questions
What are your session rates?
$165/ 50 minute session
How often will we meet?
I offer weekly sessions. This consistency helps us stay engaged in the process, track patterns as they’re happening, and build real momentum. In Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), regular sessions are key to understanding and shifting the deeper emotional patterns that shape your relationship. This consistency supports faster and more lasting results.
How long does therapy last?
How long therapy lasts really depends on your individual needs and circumstances. Some clients notice significant progress in just a few months, while others find ongoing support helpful for a year or more.
My goal is to provide a sense of relief and a clear direction in the first few weeks, and I will never keep you in therapy longer than necessary. I’m here to meet you where you are and support you in a way that feels right for you.
Do you take insurance?
I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly.
To help with the cost of out-of-network care, I work with Mentaya. They assist clients with submitting claims and handling insurance paperwork so you don’t have to. If you prefer, I can also provide you with a receipt (superbill) that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
Do you offer a sliding scale?
I recognize that therapy is an investment. I offer a limited number of reduced-rate openings for those with financial need. Please contact me and we can explore what’s possible.
What are the benefits of self-pay?
Self-pay allows for greater flexibility in your therapy. Without insurance limits or required diagnoses, we can shape the pace, focus, and depth of our work in a way that best supports you.
What approach do you use in therapy?
I primarily use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), a well-researched and empirically supported approach that focuses on the patterns in your relationship, both with others and within yourself, that keep you stuck. EFCT helps you build safety, deepen closeness, and create lasting connection.
In addition, I incorporate parts work from Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you understand the different “parts” of yourself, how these parts show up in moments of stress or disconnection, and how to relate to yourself (and others) with more compassion and awareness.
Do you see clients in person?
Yes! I prefer seeing clients in my West Lake Hills, Austin therapy office.
Who is your ideal client?
Couples who are ready to get curious about their relationship.
Emotionally Focused Therapy is an active process, and progress in therapy depends on your participation in the work we do together. You don’t need to have the right words, understand your patterns, or know exactly what needs to change before you begin. What matters most is that you want your relationship to feel different and are willing to explore what it takes to get there.
