Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

Hello, I am a recent resident of Austin by way of the DFW metroplex. I love therapy because every person needs a safe place to unpack the experiences of life. I provide a judgment free zone to explore who you have been and who you will become. I am passionate about everything LGBTQIA+, religious trauma, and empowering women to their full potential. As a late in life lesbian, I am passionate about helping other women who have experienced compulsory heterosexuality and who are either still not out to friends and family or who are newly out of the closet and processing what those changes mean in their lives.

I have an MA in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. I am a board certified Licensed Professional Counselor Association and an LCDC. I am currently part of the Sexual Health Alliance program to pursue my sex therapy certification.

I look forward to creating a safe therapeutic relationship with you so that you have a place to process your past, your present life experiences, and the direction you want to go to build your future.

Figuring out how to honor yourself and your values while building an abundant life is emotionally, spiritually, and mentally challenging–especially for those of us finding our own, unique paths. I am a poly-allied, kink-allied, LGBTQIA+-allied and oppression-aware therapist using an in-depth approach to explore the underlying meaning of your concerns and experiences. I especially love working with young adults and anyone who may be experiencing life transitions. If you are interested in learning more, please visit my website or give me a call for a free phone consultation.

I specialise in relationship issues, sexuality, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and personal development work. I also work with children and adolescents.

I undertaken short term, medium term and long term work and work on a sliding scale of fees. - Does online consultation - Does phone consultation

In my “day job” I am a DBT therapist, specializing in working with clients struggling with issues of emotion dysregulation, which may show up as extreme moods, behaviors, or challenging relationships. I bring my warm and active approach to a select few other non-DBT clients where I use a more existential approach, and especially enjoy supporting clients in the non-monogamous, gender diverse and kink communities. I am happy working with individuals, couples or polycules on the issues that are impeding your happiness, whether your issues are related to your identification in these communities or not.

Therapist with 30 years of experience and a Masters degree in Marriage & Family Therapy. I have a special interest in working with people who identify or want to explore issues of ethical non-monogamy (poly), LGTBQ* or kink.

Some key concepts that I bring to this work:

• self empowerment
• attachment-based
• informed consent
• authenticity
• emotion-centred
• mindfulness
• trauma-informed

I am a clinical social worker who specializes in grief, anxiety, life transitions, relationship dynamics, trauma, and end of life issues.

In addition to my therapy practice, I am a co-founder and death doula with the Philly Death Doula Collective and collaborator with the Salt Trails Collective.

Professional specialties and skills: I received my masters in social work from the University of Pennsylvania in 2018 and LCSW in 2021. I utilize relational-cultural, humanistic, feminist, narrative, and constructivist approaches in my work. I am a trained Level 1 – EMDR by EMDRIA-HAP practitioner and have completed the Beginning I Somatic Experiencing training. I also hold a Grief Therapy Certification from the Portland Institute for Loss and Transition.

Bio:

I am a Black, queer, disabled, neurodivergent, non-binary therapist working with adult individuals and couples. I approach therapy as a team effort grounded in trauma-informed, anti-racist, fat liberatory, sex & kink positive, and feminist ideals. My therapy practice, while primarily based in Relational-Cultural Therapy, is eclectic, borrowing from multiple modalities in order to find the best approach for each individual client, couple, or polycule. Common approaches I incorporate include: EFT (emotion focused therapy), IFS (internal family systems), and Attachment Theory. When appropriate, I frequently like to incorporate exercises and homework to practice concrete skills and tools that are consistent with the stated goals. I prioritize working with communities with whom I share personal experience, including: LGBTQIA+, polyamorous/ENM, BDSM/kink, sex worker, SA/DV survivors, neurodivergent, chronically ill & disabled. I am not panelled in-network with any insurance plans, but can provide superbills for those with out of network benefits. My full fee is $300 and I offer sliding scale options based on need.

Longer Script:

When you make the decision to attend therapy, you are making the decision to prioritize your wellbeing in a fundamentally unique way. Therapy is something that can be challenging, but also transformative– Especially for those who have not been listened to, believed, or had the freedom to pause and practice introspection due to the demands of life.

Knowing the challenges of finding a therapist who can understand your life experiences, I prioritize working with communities with whom I share personal experience. This includes, but is not limited to: LGBTQIA+, polyamorous/ENM, BDSM/kink, sex worker, SA/DV survivors, neurodivergent, chronically ill & disabled communities.

My work is grounded in Relational-Cultural Therapy, which emphasizes the importance of the relationship between therapist and client as an essential part of the therapeutic process. I aim to minimize power dynamics in the room between therapist and client, and firmly believe you are the expert of your life. Rather than an authority in the room, I see my role as a collaborator in helping you achieve your therapy goals. For those who wish to know my social location: I am a Black, queer, disabled, neurodivergent, polyamorous, non-binary therapist in my 30s. I come from a middle-class background in a mixed race household, am a US citizen, and was raised Catholic but am not religious.

I approach therapy as a team effort grounded in trauma-informed, anti-racist, fat liberatory, sex & kink positive, and feminist ideals. My therapy practice is eclectic, borrowing from multiple modalities in order to find the best approach for each individual client, couple, or polycule. Common approaches I incorporate include: EFT (emotion focused therapy), IFS (internal family systems), Sex Therapy, and Attachment Theory.

I work with clients on a variety of topics, but special interests include: Unpacking attachment wounds using IFS; Transition stages in Poly/ENM; Freedom from shame regarding sex & kink; Impacts of disability; Relationships to health, disordered eating, and/or fatness from a fat liberatory and body neutrality lens.

30 years experienced poly-friendly and poly-knowledgeable psychotherapist and advanced Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) practitioner. I work extensively with people of all sexual orientations, preferences, gender identifications and family styles (lesbian, gay, bi, trans, poly, kink, bdsm). I have a strong background in chemical dependency, mood disorders, stress, communication problems, abuse and trauma resolution, body-image work, and creativity. Video conferencing and phone sessions available.

I specialize in helping women through midlife transitions, relationship changes, nontraditional relationship styles, anxiety issues, sex and body positivity, and church trauma.

I work with adults ages 18+ seeking to explore their identity, where they’ve come from and where they want to go. I love working with members of the kink and bdsm community, folks looking to understand their sexuality and how better to communicate the wants and needs. I do relationship work with people in polyamorous relationships, triads and other formations with special attention to polyamorous folks creating non traditional family structures.

Hello and welcome! I was born and raised in the South, where the prevailing belief in the ‘Bible Belt’ was that discussions about sex should be reserved exclusively for one’s spouse. This mindset never resonated with me and upon coming to Denver, Colorado I realized just how antiquated and harmful this perspective can be. During my undergraduate studies at the University of Denver, I found a space that finally felt comfortable, safe, and empowering within the Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies Department, where I delved into the social construction of gender and sexuality.

As a current MSW candidate I strive to continue learning and encourage others to learn as well.I aim to support and sometimes challenge my clients in creating brave spaces—environments that foster dialogue, curiosity, growth, and prioritize agency. Empowered Exploration is the core of my philosophy, and by centering this in sessions, I hope to help cultivate stronger support systems and self-love.

My approach to therapy is primarily based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. As an ACT therapist, instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings, I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender and sexuality.

​I primarily provide online individual therapy with late teens and adults (of all ages). In addition to depression and anxiety, I also specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients. I am a Certified World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Global Education Initiative Standards of Care 7 Member. Other areas of focus in my work include obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic, depression, trichotillomania, and college student mental health.

​All my services are provided through telehealth and I am licensed in Nevada, Oregon and I am authorized to practice in 30+ “PSYPACT” states.

My practice is primarily based in using somatic (body aware) and relational therapy with individuals, couples and groups. I teach people how to literally re-wire their brains to actively reduce habitual stress-based patterns and increase the joy and vitality they generate for themselves on a daily basis. Breakthroughs in the study of the brain and its amazing plasticity have given the world powerful new tools for transformation. I use these tools to promote clarity, hope and resiliency for a more peaceful and loving world.

I support and celebrate poly, kink and other alternative lifestyle choices as viable options for healthy relationships. Being a somewhat unconventional person myself, I enjoy a mobile therapy practice so am not limited to one geographic location or the standard 50 minute therapy hour. I love the transformative power of doing therapeutic process with people, and am happy to work on-site with individuals or multi-partner groups within time frames that best serve the process. I prefer working with folks who have a clear intention of "being the change they want to see in the world". I work on a sliding fee scale to accommodate anyone who demonstrates true commitment to the idea that each of us is responsible for our own peace on this planet. - Does online consultation

I hope this space can help you begin to answer whether we might work well together. Being warm, caring, empathetic, and helpful is a core part of being a therapist, so I won’t emphasize those qualities here. In terms of my more unique clinical facets, I endeavor to be nonjudgmental even when not neutral. I’m high energy, whimsical, and mirthful in the counseling room. I am also skilled at verbally describing internal decision-making and emotional processes and have excellent pattern recognition and analytical skills.

Each individual comes to therapy with their own goals in mind and I’m here to work on whatever you feel would most benefit you. I especially enjoy supporting clients in discovering and supporting boundaries, building relationships and relationship agreements, and managing depression and suicidality.

I won’t judge you for consensual expressions of your identity and sexuality. I encourage LGBTQIA2-S people, people in consensual nonmonogamous relationships, BDSM/kink practitioners and community members, sex workers, and people living with chronic, severe depression and suicidality to reach out to me. I work with adults and partners. Please check my website for information about my availability for new self pay and insurance clients.
