Are you on the lookout for a judgment-free zone where you can relax, share your struggles, and maybe even crack a joke or two? Well, look no further! Here, you'll find a non-judgmental ally dedicated to helping you recognize and embrace your unique strengths. During our sessions, you'll find yourself in a warm, affirming sanctuary where your quirks are celebrated, and anxiety is greeted with a gentle nod. I am here to help you engage in self-compassion. I am particularly passionate about working with gender diverse individuals. Additionally, I am fluent in pop culture references, a big fan of geek culture and an avid gamer.

In these uncertain, anxious and troubled times, many people are experiencing high levels of stress, anxiety and depression. Many are experiencing increased social isolation and loneliness. Many are in need of a skilled, supportive therapist who can provide perspective and help them navigate their way. I can help. I offer strong specialty in treating anxiety and depression, trauma (PTSD), and relationship/sexual problems (gay & straight). I find it especially rewarding working with grieving clients, those suffering from chronic & terminal illness, men's issues, and helping men & women heal from emotional, physical & sexual abuse.

I specialize in working with adolescents, adults and couples who struggle with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, mood disorders and relationship issues. I will help you learn to cope with present stressors or process past experiences. It is important that we establish goals, and I will actively work to help you meet them. I develop personal and genuine relationships with my clients, which is helpful in developing a plan that is tailored to your individual needs.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor who has enjoyed working with people of all ages for the past 10 + years. I have years of experience working with Law Enforcement agencies. I am truly passionate about working with couples (including polyamorous and ENM), women's issues, parenting, and life transitions. I enjoy and have experience using different therapies to individualize the needs and goals of my clients. I am passionate about mental health and believe in working with our mind, body, and spirit to help clients reach their goals. I am a body and sex-positive and LGBTQ ally.

If you are struggling with feelings of anxiety and depression, or having difficulty sustaining healthy relationships, I can help. Maybe you have never felt feel worthy of love, slipped into a state of numbness, or find it hard to look at yourself in the mirror. We can lose ourselves in the web of transgenerational trauma, abuse and shame. I help people recover from unresolved trauma and historical wounds that continue to hold us back from the life we want to live. I am here to help you heal and move forward with deeper insight and a renewed sense of self. No one should have to take this journey alone!

Welcome, fellow earth wanderers to my therapy page. If you've made it this far, you are at the point of knowing something isn't quite right in your world. That means you're above and beyond the others walking through life thinking, "it's fine. I'm fine. We're fine". I'm an empathetic, open minded veteran who also will likely have a cat join in for session. I have many...let's call them therapy animals. I offer a safe, inclusive, affirming safe space. Although I'm a white male, I have years of experience working within LGBTQIA+ and POC populations and am committed to exploring unconscious bias and working in an anti racist way.

I specialize in treating adults and adolescents facing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood dysregulation, and addiction. My main focus is empowering you with healthy coping strategies that replace disruptive behavior patterns. Together, we will work towards helping you live your best life. I have experience working with diverse populations, including autistic individuals and first responders. Providing gender-affirming care to LGBTQ+ individuals is a passion of mine.

I hope visiting my office feels warm & safe - a place you can relax, let your guard down, & connect deeply with yourself. Many of my clients seek therapy for support as they navigate important relationships in their lives that are difficult. Or they want to feel more confident living authentically. Or they want better self-understanding so that they can get to the root of things bothering them. I specialize in helping older teens and adults heal from past relational wounds so that they can trust themselves more fully in the present & move forward with more freedom and joy! I also offer play therapy for children & work w/couples.

We all struggle sometimes, but ongoing issues can leave us exhausted, isolated, confused, discouraged... If your days or nights are hard to get through, if you can't seem to settle down or stop overthinking, if life feels scary or you don't know what to do, if you never feel good enough or can't seem to 'get over' or 'stop doing' x, I'd love to talk with you. My experience is broad, but my practice is largely focused on anxiety & stress disorders, relational trauma, chronic & terminal illnesses, and healthy coping/decision making during life transitions.

High regards to you as you consider starting the journey of working towards becoming your best self. We are a team of pro-Black, spiritually aware, LGBTQ+ competent and affirming, down to earth therapists. We engage our clients in a holistic and person-centered approach, and value collaboration in the therapy space. Come as you are and we will meet you where you are at. Prioritizing your mental health, or even figuring out what that means can be super daunting. Our goal is to assist you in that process, in whatever way we can within our scope of practice.

Hello! I believe in the value of connection and authenticity. My therapeutic approach comes from a deep-seeded belief that all humans are worthy of love and compassion. I believe that each person needs different things and it is my hope to be available to you to offer guidance, support, empathy, compassion, and acceptance without judgement. I deeply value diversity and inclusivity, and connecting with my clients is of the utmost importance to me. My goal is to be present for my clients and for them to feel safe in sharing their stories with me.

Everyone needs assistance and guidance from time to time. I have spent the majority of my career in mental health working with the homeless population, youth, teens and individuals with severe mental health concerns. I have helped individuals to navigate a variety of issues. I am comfortable working with individuals who are on the Autism Spectrum, the LGBTQ+ population, navigating trauma related issues, anxiety, depression, and management of interpersonal relationships. I believe people should be allowed to grow and progress from whatever type of issues they are struggling with while being treating with compassion, respect and care.

With 14 years of experience in therapy, I truly enjoy my job. I am compassionate about helping others establish a strong foundation so they can effectively cope with current struggles as well as struggles they’ll be approached with in the future. My clients would describe me as compassionate, easy to talk to, and very understanding. I'm sensitive to the unique experiences of each individual and believe connection, trust, and understanding are essential to the therapeutic process. I value getting goals accomplished and making progress during each session.

As a queer therapist, I specialize in affirmative therapy with people in the LGBTQIA+ community at Resource Center, one of the largest LGBTQ centers in Dallas TX. I believe counseling is a unique experience for everyone that allows for self-discovery, insights, emotional healing, and improved relationships. In counseling, I strive to create a laid back and warm environment that promotes compassion and curiosity. I believe curiosity is a powerful tool that can help alleviate the fear and shame behind our thoughts and emotions that impact our daily existence.

Counseling is supposed to be convenient, effective and helpful. Through evidenced based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and DBT, we are able to process trauma, explore and establish coping skills, and slowly but surely, start living again. I've worked in the nonprofit sector helping victims of domestic violence as well as other issues to include addiction, personality disorders, and family conflict. I work with the LGBTQ community and take pride in working with multicultural clients.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD, disordered eating, and self-harm in adults and adolescents. I aim to guide you through conflict resolution and support your healing journey from trauma.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed or just can't seem to figure it out? Listen, I get it. Life can be fragile and unpredictable. When we experience trauma or life stressors, it is not uncommon for us to feel like everything is unraveling. As your therapist, I want you to know that you are not alone. Trust me, I have been there, too. My passion is bringing healing to people by empowering healthy perceptions of themselves and their relationships. Hey, I may not know you from a can of paint, but I'm still proud of your decision to improve the quality of your mental health. Remember, you matter.

You're reading this because you want to feel differently. Relationship challenges, unexpected events, and traumas from the past combine to drain your mental and emotional resources. You're stuck, but you know your current way of getting by isn't cutting it anymore. You're ready for a change. Together we’ll explore not only the root of the problem but also take actionable steps to help you to become who you want to be.

I am passionate about helping clients find the awareness, insight, and resilience they need to overcome challenges and live a joyful, meaningful, and fulfilling life. My approach in counseling is based on ensuring you feel you are in a supportive space so you can explore your current thoughts and feelings, process past experiences, and envision and achieve your goals. Clients describe me as calm, caring, and understanding. My goal is to offer fresh perspectives to those seeking change along with the collaboration, skills, and tools needed to create a path forward.
