Faith, values, and beliefs are extremely important in the therapeutic process. One of my passions is working with Christian clients who are looking for support from a faith-based perspective.
Christian counseling is a therapy approach that combines your Christian faith with the principles of psychology to bring holistic healing- spiritually, mentally and emotionally.

I am dually licensed in California and Texas. I am able to see clients who live anywhere in these states.

I offer a free 15 minute call if you'd like to connect and see if I may be a good fit prior to scheduling. If you would like this, please feel free to let me know some good days and times that work for you as well as your timezone (I see client's in multiple time zones).

I am only available for virtual appointments, regardless of your location.
-
All sessions are 50 minutes. I have a limited number of 80 minute session available if that would better suit your needs.

This depends on your particular needs and goals for counseling. It is recommended to start with weekly counseling in order to get the most momentum towards your goals and then to reduce to every other week once you feel you have made significant progress toward your goals. This is something that we will discuss together in sessions. Please note, I only see clients on either a weekly or every other week basis. I am not available for drop-in appointments.
-
The first session is typically much different than all other sessions. In this meeting, I am asking a lot of questions so I can get to know you and your life story. This session is more about setting up a foundation than going deep. After this session, we will dive into the real work.
-
I might give you homework after a session. Homework ideas are suggestions of things that might help you accelerate your healing journey. Homework is not mandatory but recommended. We can always meet whether you have done the homework or not.
-
If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours beforehand. If you cancel less than 24 hours in advance or do not show up for your appointment, you will be charged for the full rate of the session.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
