Great to meet you!

“In the World through which I travel, I am endlessly creating myself” - Frantz Fanon

I am a radical queer therapist from Texas, excited to join you on your journey of self-understanding, healing, and empowerment.

As a transgender person and social worker, I am intimately familiar with the myriad ways in which Queer people have been marginalized by mental health systems and am committed to a liberatory practice which addresses these injustices in a direct and hopefully transformative way.

My approach to therapy

My style is warm, open, curious, and empowering, with a focus on you as a complex person in relationship to other people and to complex systems.

Utilizing a psychoanalytic, relational, trauma-informed, systems-centered approach, I focus on exploring the roots of our struggles, strengths, and whole selves, and the possibility of creatively engaging with the world around us. I am committed to anti-racist, LGBT affirming, feminist practice that addresses the complex roles of systems in our lives.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions you can expect a warm and curious environment of exploration and an embrace of our innate capacity for change. As we work towards change in your day-to-day life, we will explore the roots of your struggles, strengths, and whole self, opening new possibilities for creative engagement with yourself and the world around you.

If any of my page speaks to you, please reach out- I am dedicated to accessibility and offer free 15-minute consultations and a wide sliding scale for services
