Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, straightforward answers about working together.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. I'm in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Providence Health Plan through Headway. If your plan isn't listed, call and I can help you check your coverage or discuss out-of-network options.
What if my insurance isn't in-network?
You can still use your out-of-network benefits. I partner with Mentaya — I provide a superbill after each session, and Mentaya handles submitting it to your insurer and getting you reimbursed. There's no extra paperwork on your end.
What happens during the free consultation?
The free consultation is a brief 15-minute phone call — not a therapy session. We'll talk about what's bringing you in, answer any questions about insurance or fees, and see if we're a good fit to work together. There's no cost and no obligation to continue.
Do you offer in-person or online sessions?
Both. I see clients in-person at my office in San Antonio, TX. I also provide secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions for anyone residing anywhere in Texas.
What if my partner refuses to come to counseling?
It is very common for one partner to be hesitant. While marriage counseling works best when both partners are present, I can work with you individually to navigate relationship dynamics, set boundaries, and change how you respond to the cycle. Often, when one partner changes their response, the entire relationship dynamic shifts.
How long does marriage counseling usually take?
The timeline varies significantly depending on the depth of the issues and whether there is active crisis (like an affair). My goal is never to keep you in therapy indefinitely. The focus is on rapid stabilization, dismantling defensive cycles, and building new patterns. Many couples experience significant relief within the first few months.
How do we get started?
The best way to start is by scheduling a consultation using the contact form. This allows us to briefly connect, ensure I'm the right fit for what you're dealing with, and discuss logistics before booking your first full session.
