Online Therapy

As of 2024, I hold an Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT), which allows me to see clients in most states. Here is a map that explains more. I am also licensed in Louisiana, so although it does not participate in the PsyPact, I am able to see clients there as well. Many of my clients live in the Arab world, and we easily work across the time zones. My practice is strictly virtual, allowing much more ease of access and flexibility for you. 

For most people, I recommend starting weekly. This allows us to gain the most traction and build rapport -- and help you feel better, sooner. 
Many people eventually move to meeting every other week. I also have several "long-term" clients who like to stay on top of their mental well-being with bi-monthly or monthly maintenance sessions.

We will of course discuss this more in depth during your initial consultation and continue to check-in with each other over the course of therapy.

Great question! I see all kinds of people, from all walks of life in my practice and pride myself on an affirming, everyone-is-welcome-here approach. I specialize in shame, perfectionism, and codependency, and I find most people benefit from an approach rooted in discovering patterns in their lives. People with a trauma history, adult children of immigrants, and people who tend to be really hard on themselves often reach out to me, as do those wanting therapy for religious deconstruction, infertility, body image issues, or identity struggles.

Here's a not-so-secret: all of the research clearly indicates that the best predictor of your outcomes in therapy is your relationship with your therapist. My main goal in therapy is to help you feel heard, understood, and cared for. I believe it is my job to meet you where you are, without judgment. I also believe it is my job to do more than nod and say "mm-hmm." If you are looking for a therapist who is warm, supportive, loves both a good laugh and a good cry, and also gives you honest feedback, we might be a good match. I know it is a huge investment of your time and finances to engage in therapy, and I want to honor that by being as helpful and engaged as possible. I draw on relational, dynamic, and trauma-informed practices, and I will often check in to see how things are going for you.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology, and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I also completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Tulane University and was hired by the Tulane Counseling Center after completing my fellowship. 

I am licensed by the Oklahoma State Board of Examiners of Psychologists (License #1388), the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists (License #38193), and the Louisiana State Board of Examiners of Psychologists (License #1336).  

I worked in residential facilities, private and state hospitals, university counseling centers, community mental health centers, and intensive outpatient facilities prior to venturing into private practice. I have also developed group curriculums and workshops for many of these settings, other businesses, and schools. My work has been featured in online publications, and I have been the guest on several podcasts and news segments.

The initial 60-minute intake session is $210. Regular 50-minute sessions after that are $175. 
All individual therapy is done through Simple Practice, a HIPAA-compliant video platform.

I do not. Insurance companies require a diagnosis, can dictate frequency and duration of your treatment, and may also audit your private record. Many of my clients are executives, attorneys, or other professionals who would like to maintain a higher level of privacy. By not taking insurance, I am also able to maintain a smaller caseload, which means I give the fullest extent of my energy and dedication to each of my clients. Rather than spend my time on the phone with insurance companies, I can spend my time on our relationship and my clinical advancement. 

If you would like to try and use your insurance benefits, you can ask them what their rate of reimbursement is for an out-of-network therapist. You would pay the session fee directly to me, and I will then provide you with a superbill with the information you need to submit a claim.
