I am multi-cultural sensitive, including LGBTQIA.
It’s all about the mind. The mind is everything. The fantastic news is we can train our minds to go where WE want to go, mentally, emotionally and relationally, rather than allowing our brain to take us where IT wants to go. You can become your best friend, be less self critical, more self aware, having healthy communication with yourself and others. Western and Eastern psychologies, philosophies and other worldviews are explored with you through psychotherapy and mental health counseling. In TX I also offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, a type of Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy through Journey Clinical. I'm licensed n TX & OK

So often we walk through our days feeling disconnected from ourselves, our loved ones and our purpose. Your pain is real and present keeping you in a place that you would rather not be. This internal space can interfere in your personal, social and work life leaving you feeling even more alone. I know that struggle. Maybe this uneasy feeling began early in life, after a traumatic event or because of past relationships. Whatever the case, you can find your way. Things can be very challenging and there is no need to go at it alone

You may feel overwhelmed by stress, transitions, or expectations that never seem to slow down. Many of my clients are military-connected individuals, high school teens, or adults navigating identity shifts, reintegration, anxiety, parenting challenges, or burnout. They want clarity, steadiness, and a place to make sense of what they’re carrying. Often, they’re seeking relief from emotional overload while building confidence, stronger coping skills, and a clearer direction forward.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
