  • No, I do not accept insurance. All of my services are private pay. Clients can pay with a credit card, FSA, or HSA.

    I can provide you with a detailed receipt, a super bill, for you file with directly with your insurance.

    You may be eligible for out-of-network (OON) reimbursement from your insurance for counseling services. Since every provider and policy is different, I recommend calling the customer service number on the back of your card and speak to a representative for details about your specific plan.

  • Missed and canceled sessions can negatively impact the effectiveness of treatment.

    I hold your scheduled appointment time specifically for you and you alone. As such, if you join or arrive at a scheduled session late or you have to end a session early, the full fee will still be charged.

    Furthermore, I charge for missed appointments or appointments canceled with less than a 24 hour notice for 1 hour and 48 hours notice for 90 minutes or 2 hour appointments.

    Please note, that this cancellation policy is not applicable to Intensives. For more information on Intensive Cancellation Policies, see EMDR Intensive section.

  • People mean very different things by the term “Christian Counselor”.

    If you are asking about whether I use the Bible in session to tell you what to do, judge you, pray with clients as part of therapy, etc- the answer is NO. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and offer evidence-based practices. I do not offer Bible only Counseling.

    If you are asking if I am a follower of Jesus and a Professional Counselor, then the answer is yes. As a professional counselor, I integrate Faith and faith-based approaches, meditations and exercises as much as the client requests.

  • Short answer is, if you don’t want it, we won’t go there. You get to decide how much, if any faith based interventions or conversations come into our work. This is your time.

    Most of my clients identify as Christians (in various denominations and in various places with their faith journeys), and want to engage with their beliefs and acknowledge their spiritual values as we work.

  • Yes, While I don't specialize in serving minorities and the LGBTQ community, I have experience serving a diverse population.

    As a first-generation Latina immigrant, I understand that for those who have experienced trauma, racism, and discrimination for reasons such as skin color, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and spiritual beliefs, it will take longer to build trust.

    And I am here for as long as you need to feel safe or ask for what you need (even if it’s a referral to another provider)!

    For therapy to be effective, it is critical to connect and feel safe with your therapist. I want you to be able to show up as your messy, brilliant, glorious, and unfiltered self in our sessions.

    To help you get comfortable, I practice showing up with authenticity, and honesty and earning the right to hear your story. Practicing what I teach (integrity) is an are core value of mine and I will show up as myself in our work and will invite you to do the same.
