Frequently Asked Questions about My Practice

  • My hourly rate is $120 per 50-minute session. I do not currently accept insurance, but I can provide you with a super bill that you can submit for possible reimbursement.

    Psychedlic-assisted sessions are $400 for 2 hours (KAP sessions are not currently available)

  • I am currently taking new clients, though I am temporarily not accepting new Ketamine-assisted clients, but I will gladly provide referrals for individuals seeking those services.

    I do offer a limited number of sliding scale slots, so please inquire during our free consultation.

  • Both are options. We can meet in person in my West Lake office, or do tele-health. I currently offer in-person sessions on Mondays and Tuesdays.

    Note that online/remote/tele-health requires you to be in the state of Texas at the time of our session.

  • I often work “experientially” meaning we may focus on tracking sensations in the body, dialoging with different inner “parts” of you, and focusing on what you are experiencing in the present moment. While we will also do talk therapy, the focus will be on bringing you into connection with feelings and insights in the here and now.

    The trauma frameworks that I use typically don’t require you to recount past traumatic events in detail or relive intensely difficult experiences.

    My work focuses on depth therapy, which means we will search for root causes, rather than chase symptoms. Depth therapy typically works best with weekly sessions, though you may choose to reduce frequency once we have worked together for a while, and you have begun to meet your therapeutic goals.

    Not every therapist is a perfect fit for every client. If you are looking for brief, solution-focused therapies or behavioral therapies such as CBT, I may not be the best choice, but I can certainly refer you to others who are.

  • The relationship between client and therapist has been shown by research to be the most critical factor in successful therapeutic outcomes, so it’s important that you click with your potential therapist.

    I offer a free 20 minute virtual consultation to ensure that we mutually feel good about starting our work together.

    I am also more than happy to provide referrals if we decide we may not be an ideal fit.

  • I do not currently work with children (under 18 years of age), couples, or families.

  • EMDR is a well-researched, evidence-based system for the treatment of trauma. Some clients, however, find it to be abrupt and overwhelming, and not well-suited for developmental and early attachment traumas.

    My preference is to approach trauma through more titrated and experiential systems such as NARM, Coherence Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing, which enable the client to feel more agency and control during the process.

Therapeutic Frameworks I Use

These approaches guide my work with leaders, caregivers, trauma survivors, and those exploring psychedelics for healing and growth. Each method offers unique insights into how we heal, grow, and reconnect to ourselves. I am constantly striving to deepen my understanding of these, and other emerging frameworks.

  • NARM is a powerful framework for working with complex and developmental trauma. Developed by Dr. Laurence Heller, NARM focuses on how early relational wounds shape identity, self-worth, and emotional regulation. It helps clients reconnect with core aliveness, agency, and healthy connection.

    I am a certified Level 3 NARM Master therapist.

    Often used with adults with early attachment wounds, identity-based shame, and long-standing relational challenges

  • Developed by Dr. Peter Levine, SE is a body-based trauma therapy that helps release survival energy stored in the nervous system. SE gently supports regulation, embodiment, and resilience after shock or developmental trauma.

    I am currently training at the Intermediate level in SE, and am scheduled to complete Advanced level training in early 2026.

    Often used with nervous system dysregulation, PTSD, anxiety, chronic stress, and trauma-related body symptoms

  • Created by Dr. Richard Schwartz, IFS is a model of parts work that sees the mind as made up of distinct sub-personalities, or "parts." In IFS-informed therapy, we help clients understand, unblend from, and heal wounded or protective parts.

    Often used with Inner conflict, self-criticism, and trauma-related parts

  • Created by Juliane Taylor Shore, LMFT, LPC, SEP, STAIR is a brain based integrated method of experiential therapy designed to help clients rewrite deep emotional patterns. STAIR is really a framework designed to help therapists effectively integrate that systems that they already use (such as somatic and parts work) into an elegantly synthesized whole. The STAIR training includes in-depth work with elements of Bruce Ecker’s Coherence Therapy, as well as advanced parts work approaches.

    I have completed STAIR Level 2 training.

  • I am Level 1 certified by the Coherence Therapy Institute.

    Developed by Bruce Ecker, Laurel Hulley, and Robin Ticic, Coherence Therapy is a neuroscience-based approach to lasting emotional change. It integrates discoveries from brain research—especially the process of memory reconsolidation, the only known neural mechanism for actually updating and erasing old emotional learnings. Rather than suppressing or overriding symptoms, this method helps uncover the unconscious emotional meanings driving patterns like anxiety, burnout, or self-sabotage.

    By bringing these hidden emotional truths into awareness in a safe, structured way, the brain can literally “rewrite” outdated survival responses. This makes Coherence Therapy highly effective for leaders and caregivers stuck in repeating stress cycles, trauma survivors carrying long-standing emotional burdens, and psychedelic explorers seeking to integrate powerful insights into daily life.

  • A conversational, insight-based approach that helps you explore life’s deeper questions—meaning, freedom, identity, and mortality. These are the bedrock questions about what it means to be alive as a human - which makes it quite ironic that the emphasis on behavioral therapies and other manualized treatments has pushed these larger questions fully out of many systems of therapy.

    Often used to support clients in facing uncertainty with courage, clarifying values, and making authentic choices for a more purposeful life.

    Origins: Inspired by thinkers like Viktor Frankl, Rollo May, and Irvin Yalom, it focuses on self-awareness and personal responsibility over quick symptom fixes.

  • Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, or Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, is used for the treatment of trauma and depression. The power of combining psychotherapy with psychedelics lies in therapy’s ability to support you in bringing overwhelming experiences into the context of your life’s overall meaning and purpose.


    Often used with adults with depression and/or trauma seeking structured, supported psychedelic therapy

  • Created by Drs. Steven Hayes, Kelly Wilson, and Kirk Strosahl, ACT is a mindfulness-based therapy that helps clients clarify values and take committed action despite difficult thoughts or emotions. ACT supports flexibility, purpose, and self-compassion.
