About My Clients
I am passionate about affirming counseling for individuals, couples, and families. I have experience with LGBTQ+ clients, clients examining their religious trauma and reconstructing of their faith, clients dealing with addiction, and clients navigating relationships and sex. I specialize in the LGBTQ+ community especially.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate working towards full licensure in the state of Texas. I graduated with a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2020. I believe in meeting clients where they are, and I like to use a collaborative approach to therapy, in which the client is the expert on their own life. I prefer to use the client's knowledge and my training to find solutions and new ways forward without acting like I know more about the client than they know about themselves. Therapy is a joint effort and my clients can teach me as much as I teach them. I have a lot of experience with LGBTQ+ clients and am involved in advocacy in my town for the same communities. I am also OutCare certified and have attended academic conferences to explore research concerning the LGBTQ+ community and how best to be a therapist for the community.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am very involved in advocacy in my city for LGBTQ+ people and women's rights. I was raised religious and have an understanding of those deconstructing their faith especially after traumatic religious experiences, though I strongly believe every person's experiences are different. I believe that a client is the expert in their own life and it is my honor and privilege to walk with my clients for a time during their life and try to help them through their struggles. If you have any questions I have not answered for you, please reach out and ask. I am so looking forward to talking to you and hopefully meeting you!
