As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, you experience challenges that others may not understand. You may be tired of not expressing yourself, feeling like you must hide parts of yourself to keep the peace, or feeling ashamed. 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 start living authentically. You're ready to be proud of who you are. But, most of all, you're prepared not to hide anymore!

Sexual dysfunction, relationship difficulties, self-worth and trauma can be anxious topics to explore for many people. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge and skills to improve your sex life, self worth, your relationships, as well as to provide a calm, comfortable space to explore underlying issues. Also, I connect with doctors and physical therapists to provide all inclusive care. As a side note, you do not have to be struggling with sexual dysfunctions to see me. I have a speciality in trauma and love to work on building healthy relationships (with the self/and or others).

Questioning your sexual orientation or gender identity? Navigating a new diagnosis or questioning if you’re neurodivergent? The journey can be daunting, and having a therapist you trust can make a huge difference. I am passionate about supporting teens and adults in navigating life’s challenges with authenticity, curiosity, connection, and hope. I specialize in the intersection of mental health with LGBTQIA+ identities, with particular interest and experience in working with queer folks in eating disorder recovery.

I hope you take a moment to recognize how much work you’ve done to get to this place. You’ve survived this long, and you should be proud. For most folks, surviving on its own doesn’t cut it anymore. We need to make some adjustments to sustain a more grounded and full life. I want you to experience collaborative healing that is safe, free of judgment, occasionally humorous, and rooted in kindness and gratitude. I currently practice under Therapy Austin and Central Austin Psychotherapy offering in-person and telehealth services.

Welcome! I respect and acknowledge all relationship styles & sexual identities. My goal is to hold space. I believe that people can learn to accept, love, and claim authenticity by moving away from patterns that are no longer serving the individual, by actively exploring their unique interests & evolving needs. I believe that every thought, emotion, and behavior that a person entertains is actively shaping their current reality. You & I will define your intentions for therapy and create active goals to shift patterns. I view our therapeutic relationship as a active supportive partnership.

Our emotions, behaviors and relationships can be overwhelming to make sense of. Having the support of an unbiased perspective can help as we grow beyond the things that cause us discomfort. As a systems therapist, I understand the issues brought into the therapy in relation to the school, work, relational, societal and intergenerational systems involved. Yes, that does mean talking about your parents and how the messages you received in your family have shaped you. It also means talking about the ways culture, race, sexuality, work environments and history affect the ways we feel and behave.

Hello and welcome! I'm so glad you've landed on my profile. As a Black queer therapist, I recognize the necessity to provide culturally empowering services. Some of my passions include working with BIPOC, LGBTQ+ folx, neurodivergence, and those looking to process relational trauma. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families on a number of different presenting concerns. (I am currently taking new clients, however, I have limited availability at this time. Please indicate your preferred meeting time for sessions if you decide to reach out. I will do my best to accommodate you! Thanks!)

A popular proverb states, “it takes a village to raise a child” and though the saying has become almost cliche, I believe it can apply to a person at any stage of life. Whether it be a season of happiness and celebration or a time of pain, stress, and crisis, we all need to know that someone sees us, hears us, and truly cares. Each person comes to therapy with individualized beliefs, thoughts, experiences, and stories. I want to get to know who you are, what your goals are, and how I can best support your healthy growth.

I want to help each of my clients find a sense of health - emotionally, physically, and sexually. Let's work together to sort through the things causing disruption in your everyday life including intimate relationships, sexuality, or general life transitions (starting or ending a relationship, coming out, exploring non-traditional relationships, etc.) I am committed to helping you move through anxiety, depression, family of origin issues, and shame in order to help you increase connections with yourself and your community.

You feel disconnected from yourself and others, isolation and loneliness haunting you. You're plagued with anxiety, feel chronically overwhelmed, and struggle to simply relax. It's like pulling teeth to concentrate on the task in front of you, like your brain has checked out without your permission. Despite challenging your thoughts, journaling, and reading self-help books, it takes all of your will power to simply make it through the day and you can't help but feel like you're missing something.

Many of my clients are examining their gender identity and sexuality. Several are overwhelmed with their thoughts and feelings and have feelings of isolation. Therapy allows them space to explore these thoughts and feelings to gain confidence and acceptance of their true selves.
