Transgender Therapists in Fort Worth, TX
Many of my clients come to me feeling like they don’t quite fit in or haven’t been fully understood by the people around them. Often, the way we see ourselves is shaped by stories others have told us about who we are or who we should be. Some of those stories can be uplifting, but others may hold us back. In therapy, I help you reconnect with your own voice, so you can decide what truly matters and what kind of life feels right for you.

Maybe you've spent years feeling like you're translating yourself for people who don't quite get you. It could be the Internet communities you identify with, your neurodivergence, or you simply don't feel heard.
There also could be parts of yourself you've been told to hide or be ashamed of. This often creates a gap between your authentic self and the self you show to other people. That gap is exhausting to live in: I'm here to help you close it.

I am passionate about helping clients cultivate a sense of meaning and vibrance in their lives. So many of us feel isolated and overwhelmed by the weight of the world. Whether you are grappling with the reality of oppression, a life transition, terminal illness, grief, trauma recovery, identity exploration, or a spiritual concern, I want to walk with you as you make sense of your relationship to yourself and the world.

You’ve been doing your best to get through each day, but your body and mind feel stuck in survival mode. Maybe you’re carrying the weight of childhood abuse, religious trauma, medical trauma, identity-based stress, or years of masking parts of yourself to stay safe. Intense emotions, dissociation, or shutdowns can make it hard to trust your own body. Whether you’re neurodivergent, queer, or simply human and overwhelmed, you deserve a space where healing moves at your pace and each session ends with tools to help you feel grounded and supported.

As an LGBTQ+ specialist, I work heavily with gender dysphoria and am one of few people that can treat it with EMDR.
I enjoy working with folks who've tried therapy before, and didn't get what they needed. I love trying out more creative approaches to therapy, and I make sure we're collaborating to find that path you've been searching for. Some of my most rewarding clients are those struggling with self-worth, depression, anxiety, and trauma. Since most folks have struggled with a least a few of these issues, I find myself well equipped to work with just about anyone. Whether you're already motivated and aware of what changes you want to make, or just getting started on your mental health journey, I'll be happy to lend a hand how I can.

From the outside, you look like you're handling it. You show up, perform, meet expectations, maybe even exceed them. But underneath, something feels empty or deflated, like you're running on exhaustion that rest doesn't touch, chasing a bar that keeps moving, wondering why success doesn't feel like enough. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone, and you're not broken. You're likely carrying high-functioning burnout, and it often hides in plain sight precisely because you're so good at carrying it.

You don’t have to hold everything together alone. If you’re exhausted from overthinking, people-pleasing, burnout, or carrying more than anyone realizes therapy can be a place where you finally exhale.

“Our scars can destroy us, even after the physical wounds healed. But if we can survive them, they can even transform us. They can give us the power to endure and the strength to fight” - Batman, 2021. After you've experienced trauma you live in a different universe, you see the world differently. Only what you feel is real. Traumatized minds are directed by emotions and misinterpret logic. I work best with those who are highly imaginative, creative, and ready to confront their past.

I enjoy working with a wide range of individuals, from adolescents to adults across the lifespan. I believe therapy should be as unique as the person seeking it, so I tailor my approach to fit your specific needs, goals, and strengths. Whether we’re working to heal from trauma, build healthy coping skills, improve communication, set boundaries, or deepen self-understanding, I see therapy as a collaborative process. My style is to be straight forward and honest but compassionate. I’ll say the thing that needs to be said, always with care and respect.

Transgender Therapists
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
