Transgender Therapists in Round Rock, TX

I offer one-on-one counseling for individuals exploring a variety of concerns including: anxiety/panic, depression, stress, life transitions, coming out, and more. I also offer relationship counseling which includes support for all kinds of relationship structures, such as same-sex partners, BDSM, bi-sexual, and multiple relationship/marriage structures (such as polyamory, swinger relationships, and open relationships). Whether you are currently working through a conflict in your relationship or pursuing a change to the relationship dynamic, we can process related perspectives of all parties involved while working to establish new boundaries and rules.

When seeking care, nothing is scarier to transgender and non binary folx than winding up with a provider who is poorly informed about the issues that face our community. From understanding discrimination and harassment and the various intersectionalities of our personhood to the process of transitioning and navigating this process, having a mental health provider who is affirming and competent makes a huge difference, whether your current mental health concerns are or aren't related to your gender.

I understand it can be difficult to choose someone you can trust to collaboratively guide you through your healing journey.

My experience is working with people struggling with Depression and Anxiety. Including Queer/Trans community, multilingual communities, intersectional identity issues, acculturative/cultural stress, identity development, chronically-ill and different-abled community, and Latinx/e community.

Do you ever find yourself caught in a cycle of facing challenges related to your anxiety, relationships, and self-exploration, no matter what else is happening in your life? You may be fed up with the tight grip of anxiety, and feeling the erosion of your self-confidence. Making it difficult to navigate relationships with the openness and authenticity you desire. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to forge connections with others who understand and appreciate you for who you are. Most of all, you’re ready to feel empowered.

I believe that each person is the expert on themselves and their experiences, and my role is to be a supportive guide throughout the healing process. I always want our work together to be a collaborative process, so we will structure our time together around your goals. This is your space, and you get to decide how it looks. Some clients are looking to stay near the surface, and work on coping skills and solutions to daily life problems. Others want to explore further into their own past or their inner world.

I am a licensed professional counselor associate and a licensed chemical dependency counselor under the supervision of Jeremy Berry, PhD, LPC-S, NCC, CCC. I got my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Houston and my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Edward’s University. My primary therapeutic approach is existentialism through a person-centered lens. Also, to meet the needs of my clients, I will pull from other modalities such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), somatic experiencing, narrative therapy, attachment theory, and Eidetic imagery.

I’m so glad you’re here. Taking this first step in getting support takes courage and true grit. My clients come from diverse backgrounds and experience anxiety, depression, and trauma. They often struggle with setting boundaries, managing stress, adjusting to a new phase in life, or navigating difficult relationships. Currently, I work with adolescents and adults utilizing a client-centered and attachment-based approach. Other modalities I practice include EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), sand tray therapy, trauma focused, and Mindfulness-Based methods.

In facing change, we may be forced to grow. I am here to help you grow AND hold a safe space for you to do so. I strive to provide direction as you navigate, understand, and explore who you are and who you aspire to be. An important component in this work is being kind to ourselves. We cannot facilitate change without first implementing self-compassion.

I work with adolescents, teens, and adults facing a variety of life's challenges. My lived experience as part of the LGBTQIA+ community as well as a cancer survivor spurred a passion for working with others who are also walking those paths. I also specialize in working with those who are exploring their identity in any capacity, or who are feeling stuck in their current situation. Additional areas of focus include depression and anxiety disorders, eating disorders, body dysmorphia/body image, and executive dysfunction/ADHD.

I specialize in working with adults who are dealing with anxiety/depression, life transitions/changes, relationship difficulties, grief/loss, gender identity, sexuality, and trauma. I enjoy working with the LGBT+ community, people in polyamorous/CNM relationships, and individuals who are questioning/leaving their faith or have experienced religious abuse/trauma. I am also very comfortable helping people navigate and cope with complex medical issues, having worked as a hospice social worker for many years.

I work with people not diagnoses. First and foremost I want my clients to know that they are not on their own. I first began to study counseling psychology because I enjoy helping people. When a person comes into my office it is usually because they are in need of help. Through the use of various psychological techniques I strive to assist those who seek to find what they are looking for. I also offer HIPPA compliant video counseling for convenience.

We all have our own stories. Some are of resilience and how we overcome. Some are of tragedy and how we can’t move on. At the end of the day, I think all each of us wants is to be loved and accepted for who we are. No matter your story, I admire your courage for seeking the support you need.

I will support you as you work to increase your self-esteem, heal wounds, and find your voice while enriching your personal and professional relationships. I am ready to support you on your journey of personal growth, faith, and wellness!
