I am a Licensed Psychologist (Texas license # 38404), and have a PhD in Counseling Psychology.

Yes. Research has repeatedly found that online therapy is effective and comparable to in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy offers greater access to those whose circumstances do not allow for the time and travel required for in-person appointments.

Extremely confidential.

Psychologists work under a strict ethics code that highly prioritizes client confidentiality, we are also bound by HIPAA to protect our clients’ privacy. You can trust that what we discuss will not be shared further, nor will your information or identity be divulged without your written consent. There are very specific circumstances in which confidentiality could be breached due to state and federal law, and we will discuss these exceptions in detail before beginning therapy.

I use a HIPAA compliant telehealth service for video sessions and maintain strict privacy around my office space.

Licensed Psychologists are trained under a number of different styles of therapy. Research has shown that, with few exceptions, these different styles are equally effective in treating psychological difficulties and creating desired outcomes in therapy. What kind of therapy you seek is often a choice of preference and fit. It is for that reason that I openly advertise my own preference for existential psychology, so you can make an educated decision about whether my style aligns with you and your needs.

Existential psychology has its roots in existential philosophy. Through this perspective, suffering and difficulty are seen as part of a normal human experience rather than always being an indication of a disorder or illness.

Existential psychology also focuses on the universal difficulties and unknowns that we all confront, such as: the reality of death, feelings of meaninglessness, isolation, and the inherent responsibility we have over our own lives and decisions. An “existential crisis” typically refers to a time in which an individual is faced with one of these universal concerns and feels tremendous anxiety as a result.

My job, as an existential therapist, is to aid you in confronting these and other concerns in a way that is meaningful and productive for you.

No. I work exclusively with adults (aged 18 or older).
