Transgender Therapists in Bellaire, TX

I have over 15 years of experience working with teens and adults. My passions include providing affirming care to the transgender and nonbinary community (ages 14+) and treating sexual and other trauma, including complex PTSD.

I collaborate with each of my clients to provide care tailored to their needs. I am dually licensed in Texas and Oregon.

The client and I decide on treatment approaches based on his or her strengths and preferences.

My philosophy is to welcome & embrace you regardless of where you are at in the journey and walk beside you as you see it to it's end.
