Bisexual Therapists in Austin, TX
Hello and Welcome! It has been a dream of mine to become a therapist since I was about 11 years old. Sexual health discussions have never made me uncomfortable in any way, and I like to provide a safe space for clients to discuss these issues. Many people experience shame about their relationship preferences, kinks, and sexual orientation. I like to help individuals and couples who may be struggling in this area. I also enjoy working with clients who are gender diverse, are thinking about or currently transitioning, and so forth.

Are you struggling to make changes in your life and maintain care and compassion for yourself? Are you having trouble with the relationships that matter to you? Helping others build their self-compassion and relational strengths is a true passion of mine. It’s a priority for me to meet my clients where they’re at, but I always work from a trauma-informed, relational, feminist-multicultural perspective. I believe that our habits, patterns, and behaviors make so much sense in the context of what we’ve experienced throughout our lives, and part of supporting our mental wellness is meeting ourselves with kindness and understanding.

I offer somatic therapy to all folks and freaks seeking to deepen connection with their authentic selves, create more spaciousness for play, for possibility, and the unknown.

As your therapist, I serve as your witness and mirror, assisting you to tap into your body’s innate wisdom to help guide you back home. Through building reverence for the ways you have learned to protect yourself, we will explore what it means to build an embodied sense of safety in order to seek new possibilities.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Supervisor who believes therapy works best when it feels human, collaborative, and occasionally includes a well-timed reality check. I work with clients ages 14 and up who are navigating complex trauma, anxiety, depression, neurodivergent brains, and the many layers of identity that come with being part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. My approach is deeply relational—meaning our work starts with getting to know you as a whole person, not just a list of symptoms. We’ll explore your experiences, the patterns you’ve learned to survive, and how those patterns may now be keeping you stuck.

You want your relationship to feel connected and enjoyable again, and you know you both deserve a fulfilling partnership and intimate life. Somewhere along the way, ease and closeness faded. Maybe old patterns or past experiences are creating blocks between you. You might feel stuck in the same conflicts, drifting apart, or replaying dynamics that don’t reflect who you want to be together. You and your partner(s) are ready for change. You’re ready to rebuild trust, heal trauma, deepen communication, and rediscover what makes your relationship feel alive.

You’re the one who holds everything together—but inside, you’re overwhelmed and disconnected. You’re capable, thoughtful, and the one others rely on, yet underneath that there’s a quiet exhaustion.
You may feel stuck in patterns you can’t quite shift, or unsure how to access what you actually need. This is especially true if you’ve learned to mask, adapt, or hold things in—whether from trauma, neurodivergence, identity, or the environments you’ve had to navigate.
I work with high-masking, self-aware adults who are ready to move beyond coping and begin reconnecting with themselves in a deeper, more sustainable way.

Therapy with me is relaxed and informed by values of empowerment, compassion, and safety. With our work together we can facilitate stronger connections with self and others, better understand your lived experiences, and even grow to see the world in new ways. I use a strengths-based approach that draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Interpersonal Process Therapy (IPT).

Often, when we experience abuse, trauma, or hardship we learn the best way to protect ourselves is to put on a mask, hide, pretend or please others. We find safety in these coping mechanisms and after a while we lose sight of who we really are. But that real person is still there waiting for the day you're ready to do more than survive. This is where I come in. My calling is to aid those who are scared to be seen find the freedom to fully know, understand and reclaim who they truly are, as well as, build fully authentic and connected relationships with others.

Bisexual Therapists
What is bisexual-affirming therapy?
Bisexual-affirming therapy is a type of mental health support that fully affirms and reflects a client’s bisexual identity. It is rooted in acceptance and does not attempt to change or question an individual’s orientation. In this type of therapy, clients work with a therapist who understands the unique experiences of bisexual people. This support is especially important, as research shows that bisexual individuals face higher rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation compared to other groups. Bisexual-affirming therapy acknowledges that bisexual individuals may encounter specific stressors—such as invalidation, relationship challenges, and minority stress—that require specialized understanding and intervention. Many therapists also provide couples therapy for bisexual partners, helping them navigate relationship dynamics, communication challenges, or external stressors that may impact their relationship. While not required, some clients prefer working with bisexual therapists who may bring personal insight to the therapeutic relationship. However, a non-bisexual therapist with strong training and a genuine commitment to affirmation can be equally effective. The most important factor is finding a therapist who understands how identity impacts mental health and can create a space of trust and respect.
What can a bisexual therapist help with?
Bisexual-affirming therapists can provide support across a wide range of concerns relevant to bisexual individuals. Whether through personal or professional experience, they often have specialized knowledge in areas such as the coming out process, navigating stereotypes, and dealing with common stressors. Relationship support is another key area of focus, as bisexual clients may face unique challenge when dating or maintaining relationships across genders. Affirming therapists can also help clients build coping strategies for managing discrimination or stigma. Additionally, many bisexual-affirming therapists can connect clients to other providers or community-based resources—such as bisexual support groups or LGBTQ+ organizations—that offer additional affirming spaces for connection. It's important to note that therapists provide can talk therapy and counseling services but do not prescribe medication—if medication is needed for conditions like depression or anxiety, they will coordinate care with a psychiatrist or primary care physician who can provide psychiatric medication management alongside therapeutic support.
How do I find a bisexual therapist?
The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful tool for finding bisexual-affirming therapists. You can use search filters to identify therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ care and work specifically with bisexual clients. You can also filter by clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, accepted insurance, session costs, and languages spoken to find the right fit. During initial consultations or early sessions, ask potential therapists about their specific training in bisexual-affirming care, their experience with LGBTQ+ clients, and their therapeutic approach to identity-related concerns. An effective bisexual-affirming therapist will demonstrate genuine understanding of bisexual experiences, including awareness of the unique challenges facing bisexual individuals. You can also look for credentials or continuing education in areas such as LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma-informed care, and intersectionality.
