Teletherapy for Texas

I imagine if you found my page you are seeking to feel respected, supported, affirmed, and/or accepted. Family member's acceptance maybe conflicting with your preferred self and expectations. Maybe communication in your relationships are failing and you want to try something new. I am a sex positive, kink and polyamory friendly therapist with a humanistic lens, who believes that you are the expert on your own experience and health. I am also a proud member of many marginalized communities and feel honored to be able to help my siblings and allies from all shades reach the change you seek for your own life experience.

Relationships are hard! You may not be sure when it started, but you no longer recognize the person sleeping next to you. It’s devastating to think that your marriage may be ending. Maybe you and your partner fight all the time. Or perhaps the two of you are drifting away and no longer feel compatible. On the outside, people think you have it all and you seem to juggle all of life’s demands effortlessly. But on the inside, you are falling apart. You’re exhausted trying to maintain this façade and wondering how much longer you can keep this up. You still have a flicker of hope and want to rekindle what you used to have.

As part of the LGBTQIA+ community, you deserve a provider who fully welcomes and affirms all of your identities, values, and experiences. Whether you are coming to therapy to explore your gender or sexuality, work through relationship stressors or eating concerns, or heal from the pains of religious-based trauma, you will be seen, heard, and deeply valued in this space. In this collaborative process, we’ll work together to identify your goals and strengths to tailor your care in a client-focused way. From the start, I hope to meet you where you are at and ultimately, inspire personal growth and restoration.

Welcome! I focus on and prioritize the holistic view of the person, always taking into consideration the family, community, and larger overall view of someone's life. I hold passion for creating a safe environment that helps empower client's to utilize their strengths while holding them accountable and challenging them objectively, without judgment. This means I am LGBTQ+ affirming, understanding of marginalized communities, and trauma informed. I have experience working with individuals, groups, couples, and families and am open to working with any and all of the above.

I believe in tailoring my approach to each unique case, as I believe each individual brings something different into the therapy room. I believe in setting collaborative goals to ensure you feel heard and that we are working towards the goals you have for your life.

Are you having feelings of uncertainty, fear, and emotional isolation? There is not need to do this alone. We are dedicated to providing support to the community during this time by encouraging, strategizing, and educating. By using a secure video chat, we are ensuring people are not experiencing lapses in care and have access to the help they deserve and need.

Are you suffering from crippling depression or anxiety? Are you going through a major life transition like changing careers, divorce, or other loss? Maybe you're battling habitual patterns that keep getting in your way no matter how many times you've tried to change things on your own. We believe that therapy can provide you with the means to face the hardest of life's challenges. Having a space to be heard and learning to better understand your problems can be the key that helps you to move forward. It provides a new perspective, as well as tools to better manage problems well after therapy is complete.

As a queer non-binary person that is part of both the ethical nonmonogamy and kink communities, I know personally how hard it can be to find a mental health professional that understands. After my own struggle I decided to pursue mental health as a profession so that I could give back to the communities that have meant so much to me. Everyone needs help with life sometimes and everyone should be able to get that help in a judgement free way that affirms one’s identity. Even if what you are currently struggling with has nothing to do with your identity, it can still be good to find help in a way that feels authentic to who you are.

Life can be challenging, especially when you are perceived as different. The world can be cruel to people who are unique and it can lead to feelings of: shame, loneliness, anxiety, fear, and sadness. Please know that you are not alone in this. I offer a safe place where you can allow your authentic self to emerge. Through our connection in therapy, we can explore your challenges and strengths. Using our relationship in session as a guide, you will have the opportunity to discover new insights and move towards your goals. My work centers on helping relationships and adults.

I want to help each of my clients find a sense of health - emotionally, physically, and sexually. Let's work together to sort through the things causing disruption in your everyday life including intimate relationships, sexuality, or general life transitions (starting or ending a relationship, coming out, exploring non-traditional relationships, etc.) I am committed to helping you move through anxiety, depression, family of origin issues, and shame in order to help you increase connections with yourself and your community.

I believe that a lively and genuine therapy relationship can be a means to healing and self-discovery. My goal is to help folks gain access to a full range of emotions. My experience as a musician and parent make me a good fit for artists and parents alike. As the premiere psychotherapist working with transgender clients in Austin Texas since 1998, I bring unparalleled knowledge and skill to those seeking to understand their own unique identities. I am an affirmative psychotherapist using relational and attachment theory, and mindfulness related to interpersonal neurobiology, I work with individuals and groups.

I have extensive experience working with adults who are struggling with marital and family issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, life challenges, relationship difficulties, spiritual challenges, and other behavioral concerns. I also have a plethora of clinical experience providing crisis intervention and working in community based mental health with the chronically mentally ill. I enjoy working with families, couples and individuals from all walks of life.

Have you even felt powerless? Maybe you’ve felt it in a relationship, or in your family, or at your job. Maybe sometimes you feel powerless against your own mind. I believe that there’s a deep well of power that exists inside you. All you have to do is find it. I would be honored to take that journey of self-discovery with you. You are far more powerful than you know, and I hope to help you see it.

Struggle is a part of life, but our struggles can often make life feel overwhelming, stifling, or meaningless. It’s all too easy to get stuck in patterns of living and relating that feel like endless repetitions of old models that seem to generate more problems than they solve. Whether your goal is healing from traumas, improving relationships, addressing complex mental health concerns, or striving for a deeper and more meaningful understanding of life and yourself, I believe that therapy can be an invaluable tool for exploration, healing, and growth.

I see therapy as a collaborative effort. Two humans with different backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and beliefs work together to establish a direction for therapy that aligns with the client’s goals and evolving needs. This approach is most successful when both parties engage in sessions genuinely and authentically. Unfortunately, our society can be threatening to people as they step outside their social roles and into their authentic selves, making feelings of safety difficult to access. Consequently, I am committed to fostering a therapeutic environment that allows for open communication, trust, exploration, and growth.
