I am a queer, nonbinary therapist and owner of Vada Counseling. At Vada, we specialize in affirming, empowering, anti-oppressive therapy for LGBTQ+ folks and allies across Texas.
All of our therapists are queer or trans ourselves, so we get it. There's no such thing as TMI in therapy: we can talk about sex, dating, abuse, religion, politics, money, family, and other "shameful" topics without judgment. We can cuss, cry, laugh, share memes, and make darkly inappropriate jokes about mental health. We know good therapy requires honesty and cutting through the bs, so we show up as our authentic selves and ask you to, too.

Untangling the mess in our heads can feel like a lonely and isolating experience, but letting someone into that mess is equally scary. I embrace a non-judgmental approach with my clients to cultivate a warm and accepting environment to explore and untangle the mess safely. Our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are intricately linked, and when one is messy, the other two suffer. Together, we will ask the hard questions, and together we will traverse the twists and turns to find peace, building trust and confidence along the way.

Compounded complex trauma often leaves survivors isolated, where the weight of their experiences becomes an unbearable burden with few places to turn, and even fewer people who truly understand and sit with you in it. From a place of deep and personal knowing, I'm driven to show up with fierce compassion for those who feel terrified and alone. Love, as a daily choice, practice, and unwavering commitment, is my guiding force. And, I believe we can break the cycles of generational, societal, and familial pain to build a home within ourselves we have always deserved.

I'm a transgender EMDR-Certified Therapist specializing in attachment wounds and complex trauma for LGBTQ adults
I begin with a thorough assessment so we can custom-fit your treatment plan—think of it as therapy couture.

I'm expanding my trauma-informed practice to include ERP—the gold standard for OCD—and am actively deepening my training in this approach.

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.
