Online Individual Therapy for Adults Throughout Texas

People reach out for all kinds of reasons. Some of the most common:

• Anxiety and stress. Racing thoughts, trouble sleeping, or a constant sense of being on edge. Read more about anxiety.
• Depression and low mood. Feeling flat, tired, or disconnected from things that used to matter. More on depression.
• Relationship struggles. When your partner isn't ready for couples therapy, after a breakup or divorce, or when you want to understand why you keep ending up in the same kind of relationship.
• Anger and overwhelm. Reacting faster or bigger than you mean to, and feeling bad about it afterward.
• Self-esteem and identity. A harsh inner critic, people-pleasing, or questions about who you are outside the roles you play.
• Life transitions. A new job, a move, an empty nest, retirement, or a loss that changed everything.
• Family and cultural expectations. Trying to honor where you come from while building a life that feels like your own.
• Painful experiences from the past that still show up in the present.

In individual therapy, I focus on self-awareness as a way to cope with overwhelming emotions, like sadness, anger, or stress. We will explore the importance of self-compassion and self-acceptance in your daily life, and how you can use these tools to improve your work, school, and social life.

Self-awareness means noticing what's happening inside you before it runs the show: the tight chest before a hard conversation, the familiar story that starts up when someone doesn't text back. Once you can see it, you have choices you didn't have before.

Self-compassion is often misunderstood. It isn't letting yourself off the hook or lowering your standards. It's treating yourself with the same honesty and kindness you'd offer a good friend. Most people I work with are already very good at criticizing themselves. Usually that critic is trying to protect you, but it rarely helps you change. Compassion, oddly enough, tends to work better. You can read more in my posts on self-compassion and shame and mindfulness and self-awareness.

For those of you familiar with or curious about different types of therapy, I integrate the following approaches into my work:

• Internal Family Systems (IFS). IFS sees the mind as made up of parts: the planner, the worrier, the critic, the part that just wants to hide under a blanket. Rather than fighting these parts, we get curious about them and what they're protecting. I've been deepening my IFS work through the IFS Online Circle (2025–2026).
• EMDR. I trained in EMDR in 2023. EMDR can help when certain memories or experiences still feel stuck and emotionally charged. It can be done online, and we only begin once you have enough stability and resources in place to do it well.
• Mindfulness. Paying attention to the present moment with curiosity instead of judgment. Mindfulness has been part of my work since my clinical supervision with Dr. Adam Coffey.
• Emotionally Focused Therapy. Understanding your emotions and attachment patterns, and how they shape the way you connect with the people you love.
• Cognitive therapy. Noticing unhelpful thought patterns and testing whether they're actually true.
• Skill-building in communication and coping. Practical tools for hard conversations, boundaries, and difficult emotions.

I don't apply these in a set order. We'll use what fits you and what you're working on.

Sessions are 45 to 55 minutes on a secure telehealth platform, and phone sessions are available if you prefer. All you need is a private space, a reliable internet connection, and a device with a camera.

In our first sessions, I'll ask about what's bringing you in, what you've tried, and what you'd like to be different. I recommend weekly sessions at first so we can build consistency. If you'd like to start every other week, I'll usually ask that your first three sessions be weekly. On average, people attend therapy for a minimum of six to eight sessions, though many continue longer as new goals come into focus.

Therapy works best as a collaboration. I'll offer observations and ask questions, and I'll check in regularly about whether our work feels useful. If something isn't working, I want to know. You're always welcome to bring whatever is on your mind that day, even if it isn't what we planned to talk about.

Individual sessions are $200. I'm out of network for all insurance and can provide receipts you can submit for possible reimbursement.

I work with adults 18 and older. I've worked extensively with LGBTQIA+ clients; artists, musicians, and performers; atheists, agnostics, and people who are spiritual but not religious; South Asian clients; and Muslim clients, including Ismaili, Sunni, and Shia. Sessions are in English.

Creative people often bring a particular mix: irregular income, performance anxiety, the vulnerability of putting work into the world, and an inner critic with very strong opinions. I know how closely identity and work can be tied together. More on my artists, musicians, and performers page.

I also see therapists and other helping professionals who want their own space to do the work. If that's you, take a look at therapy for therapists.

Individual therapy is not a crisis service. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, please call or text 988, or call 911 in an emergency.
