HOUSTON THERAPY

My therapeutic approach can be described as thoughtful, collaborative, and multicultural.  I firmly believe that people are experts of their own lives and experiences. As such, I take extreme care to respect an individual’s unique identities, experiences, and perspectives as I work alongside them to help them grow. I will work with you to explore how the many different parts of who you are contribute to how you experience the world and relate to others, as well as play a critical role in your psychological well-being.

 

My goal is to create a safe space for you to show up authentically, so we may work together to develop a treatment plan that is specific to your therapeutic and personal goals. I will use my training and knowledge to provide therapeutic recommendations and techniques to help guide you to make progress towards accomplishing your goals. Currently, I am only working virtually.

Rates: $200 for 50 minute session

​

The above rate is the full fee this therapist charges for a standard 50 minute session. However, we do not want cost to be prohibitive of people getting the help they need. All of our therapists provide a portion of their services for a reduced fee to help those who can benefit from psychotherapy but might not be able to afford their full fee.
