DO YOU OFFER TELETHERAPY AND/ OR IN PERSON SERVICES?

I currently only offer Teletherapy services (for client's in California and Texas).

WHY DON'T YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?

When insurance companies are involved in paying for psychotherapy they have the opportunity to take control of your treatment. In turn, they can limit the number of times you meet, request your personal health information, or attempt to dictate what form of therapy is offered. It then becomes a time consuming battle of justifying why you need treatment, how many sessions you get, what modalities I use, etc. In essence, it places your insurance company in the driver’s seat of your care, instead of you.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT OUT OF THERAPY?

What you get out of therapy largely depends on you. To put it simply, what you put into it is what you will get out of it. While I believe it is important to have a competent and experienced therapist to help guide you, neither I or a more skilled therapist can help you if you are not willing to put in the work. Just as Christ invites us to know Him intimately in relationship, I will invite you to greater knowledge of who you are in Christ. It is your "yes" or receptivity that determines the amount of progress you make in therapy.
