You’re Not Alone

Your mental health is important, and you deserve support that is affirming and understanding of your LGBTQIA+ identity.

Individual therapy offers a personalized approach to addressing your mental health and well-being. It allows you to focus on your specific needs, goals, and identity in a confidential setting.

I provide a safe, supportive, and affirming space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns with a compassionate and knowledgeable therapist.

What to Expect

During therapy, we will work collaboratively to explore various aspects of your life, identify goals, and create change.

Evidence-based techniques including CBT, DBT, person-centered therapy, and solution-focused therapy are used to help you develop coping skills, heal from past trauma, build resilience, and foster self-acceptance.

My goal is to empower all clients to recognize and use their inner strengths to achieve what they previously only hoped for.

Due to limits of expertise, I only provide therapy to individuals aged 13 to 65.

Areas of Focus

  • Anxiety can get overwhelming, especially when you have to worry about safety, stability, or too many things at once.

    Learn how to plan for worst-case scenarios, build relaxation and coping skills, and create realistic thought patterns to reduce overall anxiety.

  • Whether you’re struggling with negative thoughts, low mood, fatigue, or other depressive symptoms, you don’t have to carry the burden alone.

    Together, we can lessen the weight of depression and develop hope.

  • Traumatic events, in whatever form, can do a lot of damage to our lives. You might have symptoms that don’t make sense to you, or seem impossible to change.

    Trauma recovery is hard, and you have courage for even considering it. With my training in Trauma Model Therapy and expertise in dissociation, we can navigate the path to trauma recovery together.

  • Maybe you feel confused about your identity, or feel that what you are isn’t acceptable. You might also struggle with how other people treat you based on your identity.

    Identity struggles are tough. I’ll work with you to develop self-acceptance and compassion, so you can enjoy life authentically.

  • If you’re asexual or aromantic, you’re no stranger to ignorance and rejection. You might struggle finding a therapist who won’t view your natural identity as a problem or try to change you.

    As an ace myself, I guarantee a space free of judgement or pathologizing. It’s my passion to provide quality therapy to all aces and aros.

  • The trans, nonbinary, and gender diverse experience is unique and, sadly, stressful -especially in Texas. Gender-Affirming Care saves lives, and I’m proud to be part of it.

    You deserve a therapist who is trained and experienced in supporting you in every step of your journey, no matter what it looks like and how you idetify.
