LGBT therapists in Burleson, TX

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist in the State of Texas. I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology at Texas Woman’s University. My training and experience have been focused on providing trauma informed care. I have worked primarily with active duty and veteran members of the military, first responders, and survivors of sexual violence and intimate partner violence. I have experience working with combat trauma, moral injury, sexual trauma, and religious trauma.

I am also an LGBTQ+ affirming sex therapist currently pursuing my PhD in Clinical Sexology. I am trained to work with individuals, couples, and polycules to help navigate sex and sexuality. Some areas of focus are kink, ethical non-monogamy, variance in desire, and reclaiming sex after trauma.

Texas Online & In-Person Therapist — Couples Therapy, Teen Counseling, Individual Therapy, Anxiety, Trauma & EMDR and Group Therapy

I provide online and in-person therapy for individuals, teens, couples, and families across Texas, including McKinney, Plano, Allen, and Frisco. Many clients come to me for couples therapy, marriage counseling, relationship challenges, communication issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, EMDR, stress, and major life transitions. My style is warm, practical, and solution-focused. In addition to my own work, our team of dedicated therapists offers a wide range of specialties to ensure every client is matched with the right provider. I’m committed to helping you feel supported, understood, and empowered.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and board-approved supervisor in Texas. I received my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017 from The University of Texas at Tyler. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the effects of past experiences that continue to show up in the present.

In my work, I focus on creating a space that feels steady, supportive, and nonjudgmental. Many of the people I work with aren’t always sure where to start. They may just know that something feels off or overwhelming. Together, we begin to make sense of those experiences in a way that feels more manageable.

Starting therapy can often make people feel nervous and unsure about what to expect. I understand how hard it is to trust a stranger with such personal thoughts and feelings. I have been working to help others create a safe and productive space to share and grow since 2013.
