Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists in Houston, TX
I am a white, genderqueer therapist who works with LGBTQIA+ adults and teens of various relationship styles, ethnicities, and spiritual backgrounds. I specialize in navigating trauma, betrayal, grief, relational conflict, sexual identity, and gender identity. I believe that therapy is inherently political and should include discussions about a client's racial, environmental, and cultural strengths and stressors. My approach is trauma-informed, consent-based, anti-racist, and social justice-oriented. Likewise, I am EMDR-trained and I offer free consultations and letters for gender-affirming care.

Whether you are dealing with loss, depression, anxiety, or just overwhelmed by life's circumstances I am here to listen and help you find your solutions. We can feel the most alone when we are hurting. We might struggle to even feel heard or understood. For therapy to be successful one has to feel heard, understood, and accepted with non-judgmental empathy. This is the foundation of my approach. Together we will explore your challenges, identify the obstacles you face, and find ways to navigate around them. I use an action driven approach to help clients gain insight and inspiration to discover solutions for their troubles.

Navigating the mental health world and finding a good therapist can be challenging, especially when you are trying to find someone that gets you and acknowledges your culture and background.

You recognize the importance of healing generational trauma; you want to enjoy the present-moment however, your mind gets stuck in the past or the future; you want to create meaningful connections, but you end up sabotaging your relationships; you want to embrace your culture and traditions while recognizing unhealthy generational patterns .

You give, you stay, you hope, and you still end up hurt and questioning your worth. You don’t have to keep reliving this pain and I can help. You have carried so much on your own. The weight of Trauma can linger long after the moment has passed, showing up in your body, in your relationships, and in the way you speak to yourself. It can leave you guarded when you want closeness, or exhausted from trying to keep everything together. Therapy with me is a space to slow down and begin untangling what you have been carrying.
