My standard rate is $150 per 50-minute session. I also offer a sliding scale for a limited number of spots to make therapy more accessible—especially for clients committed to the work but navigating financial constraints. If cost is a concern, please reach out so we can explore options. I believe healing should be available without unnecessary barriers, and we can discuss a rate that works for both of us.

Finding the right fit matters. I encourage new clients to schedule a brief consultation call so we can talk about what you’re looking for, answer your questions, and see if working together feels like a good match.

We’ll talk about your goals, your history, and what’s bringing you in now. If we decide to move forward with EMDR, I’ll guide you through resource development—creating a set of internal tools and calming strategies you can use during our work together. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of what therapy will look like for you.

It depends on your goals, history, and what you’d like to work on. Some people feel significant relief in a few months; others prefer ongoing support over a longer period. I’ll work with you to create a plan that fits your needs—not a one-size-fits-all timeline.

I get this question a lot—and here’s the truth: private pay gives us more freedom and better care. When you use insurance, your therapy often comes with restrictions:

• A mental health diagnosis is required to bill your sessions.

• Your records can be accessed by the insurance company.

• They may limit the number of sessions or types of therapy you can receive.

With private pay, your therapy is 100% confidential (your records stay between us), we can choose the approach that’s right for you—not what insurance approves—and you have control over how often you come. Many clients see this as an investment in their mental health without the red tape.

In talk therapy, you primarily process experiences through conversation and reflection. EMDR works differently—it helps the brain reprocess stored memories at the emotional and nervous system level. This means you don’t have to retell every detail of a painful memory for it to be resolved. EMDR often works more quickly for trauma-related concerns and can be integrated alongside talk therapy or used as a stand-alone treatment.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy used to help people heal from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and distressing life experiences. It uses a technique called bilateral stimulation—engaging both sides of the brain while you process a past event—so your brain can reprocess the memory and reduce its emotional “charge.” Many clients describe feeling lighter, calmer, and more in control after EMDR sessions.

Yes. I provide EMDR therapy to clients across Texas through secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions. This allows you to get the same effective treatment from the comfort and privacy of your home.

You can schedule a consultation here or call 214-308-1499. I’m here to answer any questions and help you take the next step toward healing.

Not at all. Some clients continue with their regular therapist and work with me for EMDR at the same time. Others take a break from talk therapy to focus on EMDR and return later. If you’d like, I can coordinate with your current therapist—with your written permission—to make sure you’re fully supported.

While EMDR is best known for treating trauma and PTSD, it’s also effective for:

• Anxiety and panic

• Depression

• Low self-esteem

• Childhood trauma or neglect

• Grief and loss

• Relationship difficulties

• Social anxiety and trust issues

• Feeling “stuck” in life

• Performance anxiety (sports, music, public speaking)

If a past event or emotional pattern keeps getting in the way of your present life, EMDR may help.
