About Me

I am based in Houston, Texas. All sessions are conducted via telehealth, making my services accessible to clients in Texas, Maryland, North Carolina, and Florida.

I offer counseling services to women.

Yes. I also offer clinical supervision and career development for social workers seeking licensure or looking to advance their careers.

What to Expect

Faith-based counseling uses the gospel to inform traditional counseling methods, resulting in practical care that takes into account Christian beliefs, values, and the Word of God.
Faith-based counseling helps you navigate mental health challenges while turning to God for hope, wisdom, and strength. It strengthens your relationship with God and equips you with tools to heal.
Our first session is focused on getting to know each other, reviewing intake paperwork, and establishing treatment goals. After that, sessions use the chosen method and Scripture to walk you through healing. Each session ends with prayer.
I offer Christian counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Based on your unique circumstances and goals, we will work together to select the approach that best suits you.

The out-of-pocket rate is $125 per session. Sessions are 45 minutes to 1 hour long. If you are using insurance, your cost depends on your copay amount for behavioral health benefits and whether your deductible has been met.

I accept Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna and Evernorth, Oscar Health, Oxford, UnitedHealthCare, Optum Carveout, Optum/United-EAP, Ascension (SmartHealth), Carelon Behavioral Health, and Quest Behavioral Health.
