FAQs

I’ve never talked to anyone before. Does that mean I’m weak?

Not at all. Reaching out for help shows strength and self-awareness. Everyone faces challenges they can’t manage alone at times. Therapy gives you a safe, supportive space to process what’s going on and build practical tools for growth and healing.

What’s the difference between talking to you and talking to a friend?

Friends are wonderful for support, but a licensed therapist has specialized training to help you understand patterns, manage emotions, and create change. Therapy is also 100% confidential — you can talk freely without fear of judgment or gossip. I provide a neutral, compassionate perspective to help you move forward.

Do you offer online therapy in Texas?

Yes! I offer online therapy for clients across Texas through secure video sessions. It’s private, convenient, and allows you to receive professional support from the comfort of your home or office.

How does therapy actually work?

Therapy is a collaborative process. We’ll identify your goals, explore what’s been holding you back, and develop new ways to cope, heal, and grow. I tailor my approach to your specific needs and use evidence-based techniques that support lasting change.

What will I have to do in sessions?

You don’t need to prepare anything special — just show up as you are. During sessions, we’ll talk through what’s happening in your life, identify patterns, and work toward your goals. You can expect a mix of reflection, learning, and practical strategies you can apply between sessions.

How long will therapy take?

That depends on your individual goals and the issues you’d like to address. Some clients find progress in a few months, while others choose ongoing therapy for deeper work or continued support. We’ll check in regularly to make sure therapy is helping you in meaningful ways.

Do I need medication to feel better?

Medication can help some people, but it’s not always necessary. Therapy helps you understand and manage the root causes of what you’re feeling. If we believe medication could complement your progress, I can coordinate care with your prescribing provider to support your overall well-being.

I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help. How will this be different?

That’s a common concern. Finding the right therapist fit is key. I work to create a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself. My approach is collaborative — I adapt our sessions to your needs and feedback so that therapy feels relevant and effective for you.

How can I get the most out of therapy?

Be open, honest, and engaged in the process. Change takes time, but your willingness to show up, reflect, and practice new skills between sessions makes a big difference. Therapy works best when you see it as an active partnership toward your goals.
