TCPs can prescribe these medications, when appropriate, to students living or attending college in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. If you are living outside of this area, we are happy to collaborate with your primary care physician to make recommendations for treating these conditions.

TCPs are excited to meet you and learn more about how to help. Prior to your initial 15-minute consultation, complete the Welcome! Initial Consultation form in the patient portal. This will help us make the best use of our time.

TCPs will only speak with your parents with your written permission in the form of a Release of Information. It is always helpful to get information about your early life from your parent or guardian. There may be things you don’t remember about your birth history or childhood that can be helpful in understanding who you are. In the process of gathering this information, The College Psychiatrists will not disclose any of your confidential information to your parents.

TCPs will only communicate with parents if your student has given written permission in the form of a Release of Information. Once permission is granted, TCPs will meet with parents as a part of the initial evaluation process to gather information about the student’s early life. If your student consents, TCPs will provide quarterly updates about progress.

I offer focused, evidence-based psychotherapy grounded in psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), and acceptance-based (ACT) approaches. My style is warm, active, and insight-oriented — we’ll work together to understand the deeper patterns that influence how you think, feel, and respond to stress, while also developing practical tools to create lasting change.

Many of my patients are students and busy professionals who value depth and efficiency. For that reason, I offer both 30-minute focused sessions and longer 45–50-minute appointments. The shorter format is ideal for those who want meaningful progress in less time.
