Early adulthood can bring new responsibilities, changing relationships, career or educational decisions, and questions about the person you want to become. You may find yourself overthinking conversations, second guessing decisions, struggling with boundaries, or feeling caught between other people’s expectations and what feels right for you.

It is completely normal to want to ensure your therapist ‘gets’ you before starting. The first 53 minutes are dedicated to building a foundation. It’s a thorough “get to know you” session where we walk through the practicalities—like confidentiality and logistics—while diving into the history that brought you here. I’ll ask a lot of questions about your background, your support system, and your medical history to help me understand the full picture.

Because we are gathering so much information to create your treatment plan, these initial sessions can sometimes feel emotionally intense or even a bit draining- that is a very normal part of the process. This is just as much for you as it is for me; it’s your opportunity to see if you feel heard, safe, and respected in our conversation. If at the end of our first session we realize the connection isn’t the right fit for your specific needs, I will provide referrals to other trusted mental health professionals to ensure you find the support you’re looking for.

Many clients are surprised by how quickly the ‘screen’ disappears. Telehealth offers a unique level of comfort—you (or your teen) can be in your own safe space, with your own pets or comforts nearby, which often leads to deeper breakthroughs. Research shows that online therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions, with the added benefit of no commute and easier scheduling for busy Texas families.

I specialize in working with teens who might be skeptical or resistant. I don’t show up as an intimidating ‘authority figure’; I show up as a teammate. I meet teens where they are—whether that’s talking about their favorite game, their frustrations with school, or the heavy stuff they aren’t ready to tell anyone else. My goal is to build a relationship of trust first; the ‘work’ follows naturally once they feel seen and respected.

Absolutely. Your privacy is my top priority. I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform specifically designed for healthcare professionals. This is much more secure than standard platforms like FaceTime or Zoom. As long as you are in a private space on your end, our conversation remains completely confidential, just as it would be in a physical office.
