Transgender Therapists in Travis County, TX
Hello and Welcome! It has been a dream of mine to become a therapist since I was about 11 years old. Sexual health discussions have never made me uncomfortable in any way, and I like to provide a safe space for clients to discuss these issues. Many people experience shame about their relationship preferences, kinks, and sexual orientation. I like to help individuals and couples who may be struggling in this area. I also enjoy working with clients who are gender diverse, are thinking about or currently transitioning, and so forth.

I have 8 years of experience working with adults, teens, tweens, and families. I specialize in counseling members of the LGBTQIA+ community, folks with trauma and I enjoy doing parts work/IFS. If you're experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, family struggles or a general feeling of being stuck; I can help you work towards meeting goals, relief from negative symptoms or unhelpful behaviors. I aim to create an environment of understanding and humor, in order to offer helpful tools and knowledge about how our brains and bodies work, so you can work them to your advantage. I hope we can work together to give you some relief!

As a nonbinary trans guy and gender affirmative therapist, I know how scary it is to interact with providers who are poorly informed about issues facing the trans and nonbinary community. Having a clinician who is informed and affirmative can make a huge difference. I specialize in helping individuals navigate their gender journey and provide support to the LGBTQIA+ community. Since we are more than our gender or sexuality, I also work with a variety of other issues such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, general life transitions, self esteem, assertiveness and boundary setting, to name a few.

I believe that clients grow and learn most in a therapeutic relationship where they feel safe, heard, and valued, which allows clients to explore their full selves, gain emotional awareness, and bring about positive changes in their lives. I find the authentic therapeutic relationship the most valuable part of the therapy process. I have a particular passion for helping clients who have family of origin concerns and who are part of the queer and/or trans community. I aim to create an inclusive space where clients can explore the impact of power, privilege, and systemic oppression, for both privileged and marginalized identities.

You are frustrated, perhaps feeling a bit angry! In addition, you feel like NO ONE understands you or they say the wrong thing to you without thinking of the impact. Dealing with chronic illness and pain is a consistent struggle. Sometimes getting through a day to just support a decent lifestyle is excruciating. The isolation is troubling because a social life feels so out of reach. Top that off with a relationship and a healthy sex life seems impossible at the moment. Everyday feels like a marathon of how much can be done while feeling a consistent exhaustion that never goes away. Waking up feeling refreshed seems like a fantasy.

There is no manual for the LGBTQ experience. People in our community often find themselves having spent their childhood trying to stay safe, only to reach adulthood without the skills and relationships to have the fulfilling life they deserve. We often feel like we are spending our lives playing catch up, trying to reclaim our past while living out our present and future all at the same time.

While my experience and training afford a unique insight into the issues facing LGBTQ+ clients, clients seeking to explore their gender identity, and clients addressing matters related to atypical sexual interests, I believe my therapeutic approach can benefit anyone. My role in your therapeutic process is to use supportive and person-centered approaches to help you work through negative thinking, manage complicated feelings, expand your self-awareness, and improve your self-esteem. I will help you set goals at your own pace, leaving all judgments and preconceived notions at the door.
