Questions about what it’s like to work together?

I am currently licensed in the state of Texas. This means that any clients I see must be physically located in Texas at the time of service. I and many other professionals believe this is an untenable limitation in heathcare in today’s world.

Psychotherapists should be allowed to practice across state lines to accommodate the growing number of individuals who frequently travel. In our interconnected world, many people lead lives that involve frequent relocations, work-related travel, or other reasons for crossing state borders. Allowing therapists to practice across state lines ensures continuity of care for clients, offering them the flexibility to maintain a therapeutic relationship even when they are on the move. This approach not only aligns with the dynamic nature of modern life but also supports individuals in accessing consistent mental health support, contributing to their overall well-being, regardless of geographical constraints.

Research suggests that online counseling can be effective for many individuals, with outcomes comparable to traditional in-person therapy. However, the effectiveness of online counseling can depend on various factors, including the nature of the client's concerns, the quality of the therapeutic relationship, and the appropriateness of the online platform used.

More practically, our sessions will be conducted over a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. You will receive a link via email before each session.

At this time, the only in-person services I offer are walk-and-talk therapy, KAP, and EMDR intensives.

Under federal law known as the No Surprises Act, you are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate for healthcare services that are not being filed with an insurance provider.

As a patient, you have the legal right to obtain a "Good Faith Estimate" that outlines the anticipated costs of your medical or mental health care. This requirement applies to all healthcare providers, including mental health practitioners, ensuring transparency in billing practices. Your rights under this law are outlined below:

Receipt of Good Faith Estimate: You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate, offering a detailed breakdown of the anticipated costs for non-emergency services. This encompasses related services like medical tests, prescriptions, medical equipment, and both inpatient and outpatient fees.

Timely Provision: Your healthcare and mental health provider must furnish you with a Good Faith Estimate at least one business day before your scheduled appointment. Additionally, you can request this estimate from any healthcare or mental health provider before commencing any services.

Dispute of Excessive Bills: In the event that you receive a bill exceeding your Good Faith Estimate by at least $400, you have the right to dispute the bill.

Document Retention: Upon receiving your Good Faith Estimate, it is advisable to keep a copy or capture a picture for future reference. This will be valuable should you need to refer to it later.
