You're in the trenches with a kid who's struggling and you don't have time to interview ten therapists. I specialize — not generalize — in children (6–17) and college students working through anxiety, depression, school refusal, big feelings, and family conflict around divorce or transition. When the coping skills that used to work have stopped, that's exactly when I come in. I work from CBT, ACT, DBT skills, and parent coaching — warm, structured, and paced to each child. Same-week intake; free 15-minute consult. Little Dove Psychology — virtual care, evenings & weekends, across Texas + 42 PSYPACT states.
I specialize in four areas: anxiety, depression, family conflict and communication, and DBT-informed emotion regulation. Evidence-based methods (CBT, ACT, exposure work, parent coaching, DBT skills) for kids, teens, and college students.
If you've been quietly worried for a while — wondering whether what you're seeing is a phase, a stage, or something that needs a clinician — your instinct is worth trusting. You don't have to figure it out alone, and you don't have to wait until it's a crisis.

I help kids, teens, and college students with anxiety, depression, family conflict and communication, and DBT-informed emotion regulation. A typical plan includes CBT or DBT skills, exposure work, parent coaching, and weekly goals you can see. Expect calmer mornings, fewer escalations, better family communication, and a child with tools that work outside the therapy room.

I use CBT, ACT, exposure-based work, DBT-informed skills, and parent coaching — all evidence-based and adapted for kids. Sessions are warm, structured, and paced to your child's nervous system. We set clear goals early, and I'll tell you what we're working on and why. You'll know what's happening every step, and your child will leave with real skills.
