Common Questions about Therapy
Clear, thoughtful answers to help you understand how therapy works here and decide whether this approach feels like the right fit for you or your child. Many people who arrive at this page are capable and responsible, yet feel they are holding themselves together too tightly just to get through the day. These questions are here to offer greater clarity and a sense of where to begin, not pressure.
My Approach & Focus
-
This work is not about learning more coping "tricks" or simply trying harder to relax. While some therapy focuses on managing symptoms, this approach addresses the underlying nervous system patterns—like bracing and self-monitoring—that keep your body and mind in overdrive. We slow things down enough to create real internal safety, allowing long-standing patterns of perfectionism and over-responsibility to ease so that functioning no longer requires constant effort.
-
This approach is a fit for women and teen girls who appear capable on the outside but feel internally scattered, tense, or quietly running on empty. Parents often reach out when their daughter is doing "fine" at school but comes home emotionally drained, reactive, or shut down. If you are looking for therapy that moves beyond surface-level insight to create lasting nervous system change, this approach may be a good fit. Learn more on my About page.
-
I provide specialized support for Anxiety & Overthinking, Chronic Stress & Burnout, and Perfectionism. Rather than focusing solely on diagnoses, we work to understand the internal pressure and nervous system strain underneath these experiences, helping you move toward a more regulated way of living.
-
Yes, Christian Therapy is available for those who prefer therapy that honors both their emotional well-being and their spiritual values. This integration is always client-led and designed to meet your individual comfort level, ensuring faith remains a source of grounding rather than another standard to meet. Therapy remains clinically grounded, providing a safe, non-judgmental space to navigate spiritual questions and align your healing with your worldview.
-
You do not need to have everything figured out to begin. Uncertainty is common when you are used to managing everything on your own. The free consultation is a pressure-free space to understand what is underneath the pressure you are noticing and decide if this is the right place to start.
Who I Work With & Where
-
I specialize in individual therapy for Adult Women and Teen Girls who look like they are coping but feel stuck in survival mode. I also offer limited in-person Child Therapy for children ages 5 and up experiencing emotional or behavioral challenges. I do not offer couples or family therapy at this time.
-
Therapy can be helpful when emotional or behavioral challenges—such as intense outbursts, withdrawal, or school-related anxiety—begin to interfere with daily life. If supportive parenting strategies no longer feel like enough to help your child regulate, developmentally appropriate, play-based support can provide a path forward.
-
Child therapy focuses on emotional regulation and communication through play-based interaction. Parent involvement is a requirement for minor clients and is integrated through consultations and shared goal-setting. This ensures progress carries into the home without adding more pressure to the child's daily life. Explore Child Therapy Services.
-
To provide the most effective care, child therapy (ages 5+) is offered in-person only at my Frisco office. Teen girls and adult women have the flexibility to choose between in-person sessions or secure virtual therapy for those physically located in Texas, Arizona, and Montana.
-
Yes, I offer grounded, thoughtful therapy for anxiety in Frisco through in-person sessions, along with virtual therapy for those located in Texas, Arizona, and Montana. The focus is on helping you move out of chronic self-pressure and into a steadier way of living.
Rates & Out-of-Network Reimbursement
-
The first step is scheduling a Free 15-minute Consultation. We will talk through what is happening and whether this approach fits what you are looking for. From there, you can decide whether to take the next step toward feeling steadier.
-
Your privacy is a priority. Therapy follows all legal and HIPAA standards, and all virtual platforms are secure and encrypted. Because I am a private-pay provider, your clinical records are not shared with insurance companies, offering an added layer of confidentiality.
-
Yes, with your consent, I am happy to collaborate with other professionals involved in your or your child's care, such as physicians, psychiatrists, or school staff, to ensure a coordinated and supportive approach.
Next Steps
-
The initial intake session is $200, and subsequent 50-minute individual sessions are $150. Payment is due at the time of each session. The total length of therapy depends on your specific goals; some seek focused, shorter-term support, while others choose longer-term work for deeper internal change. Every session is intentional and designed to create relief that carries into your daily life.
-
I am a private-pay, out-of-network provider and do not accept insurance directly. This model allows for increased privacy and the ability to focus on depth-oriented nervous system change without the restrictions often mandated by insurance companies. However, I partner with Mentaya to help you access your out-of-network benefits seamlessly. They handle the claims on your behalf so you can receive reimbursement without the headache of paperwork.
-
While I cannot guarantee reimbursement, you can easily check your potential coverage using the Mentaya Benefits Checker located on my Rates page. Alternatively, you can contact your insurance provider directly to verify your out-of-network behavioral health benefits. Many clients find that their plans cover a significant portion of the cost once their deductible is met.
