Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists in Austin, TX
My approach is to help clients become free of their emotional overreactions (especially recurring upsets) and break free from the grip of their past wounds. I also work to help identify conditioning and beliefs that my clients have inherited from their families which are NOT consistent with their own core nature. It's all about becoming more authentic. I believe that the more true to ourselves we become, without the old wounds, conditioning, and societal pressures (such as needing to be seen as a nice guy/girl or needing approval from others) then the more whole and joyful we become in our everyday lives.

As a therapist, I work to create a safe and nurturing environment that allows for self-inquiry and for exploration of the many parts that make up our beings. Together, we can explore and build upon your existing strength and capabilities in order to cultivate greater happiness and fulfillment. We will also work to nurture and make peace with the parts of yourself that you may fear or dislike. I believe that each individual and family brings to therapy everything that they need to make change, and it is my privilege to help you discover those parts of yourself that may lie deep within.

Life feels dull. You feel isolated and alone but it seems no one really wants to know what’s wrong. Why would they when you are a pro at hiding your feelings of emptiness and pain? You just want to be seen by someone who won't let you bullshit them. Well, I see YOU. I am not a cookie-cutter therapist with a script for me and a worksheet for you. However, if you need someone who can see through your masks and actually HELP you, look no further. Explore dating, your relationships or sex with a guide beside you. Come by yourself or as a couple. I find working with clients in-person to be ideal.

Are your relationships feeling strained due to spiritual trauma or other differences? Do you feel depressed or anxious because you no longer feel like you have a place to belong? Many people, including LGBTQ+ people and their allies, have experienced some sort of religious trauma, spiritual deconstruction, or an overall disenchantment with church and religious institutions and find themselves disoriented and alone. Like you, my clients have struggled, sometimes feeling as if they can’t be their authentic selves, feeling pressured to be a people-pleaser and afraid of the consequences if they don’t. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
