Approach

Here is what therapy looks like with me.

This is direct, practical therapy for people who want more than insight alone.

We spend time understanding what is going on, where it comes from, and why it keeps repeating.

Then we work toward changes you can notice in your actual life, not just in the room.

Location

Downtown Round Rock, Texas • Serving North Austin and surrounding communities • Telehealth across Texas

Session Rate

$200 for 50–55 minutes.

Format

Private-pay psychotherapy with one therapist from consult onward.

Consult

Start with a consult.

We talk through what is going on, what you want help with, and the practical details.

Step

Therapy

Get specific.

We look closely at what happens during the week, not only at what you understand in session.

Step

Adjustment

Keep what helps.

If something is useful, we keep it. If it is not, we do not keep pretending.

Step

Values

You should not have to argue for your own humanity before the work can begin.

  • LGBTQ+ affirming means identity is not treated as pathology or debate.
  • HAES-aligned means body size is not treated as a moral issue or a treatment target.
  • Neurodiversity-affirming means communication, pacing, and problem-solving do not have to follow one narrow standard.
  • Immigrant and cross-cultural realities are treated as real context, not side notes.

Who This Helps

This is usually a good fit when:

  • You want therapy that is direct and concrete.
  • You are dealing with perfectionism, overcontrol, religious harm, or chronic over-responsibility.
  • You already understand a lot about yourself and want help changing what keeps happening.

Usually Not The First Step

  • Crisis stabilization or emergency response.
  • Insurance-based care.
  • Very open-ended therapy with little direction.

Optional Method

Three-dimensional model building.

Sometimes it helps to build the problem in physical form. It can make relationships, constraints, and choices easier to see.

A tactile method used within ongoing therapy for clients who benefit from making patterns visible.
