Why I’m a Good Fit for YOU
You are looking for tangible skills and tools you can take with you and implement between sessions.
You are looking for a therapist who jokes, feels, and cusses along with you in sessions. Not someone who is a blank slate.
You want to be pushed and challenged- in the nicest way possible of course!
You’re looking for a neurodivergent therapist. I am late diagnosed ADHD and also have many traits of autism.
What Therapy is Like with Me
Sitting in a session with me should feel hopeful and empowering- not intimidating or shameful. Shame is one of the biggest feelings that keep us stuck.
We will spend time untangling all the different elements of your life- your family, your childhood, your education, your culture, your religion, your relationships. This untangling leads to awareness and insight, which will allow us to slowly coax out the ability to stop, choose, and change.
Why I’m a Therapist
My own journey with anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, and panic began at a young age. I had to seriously confront it at the age of 19 after what I would absolutely call a mental breakdown.
My journey with therapy is now over 16 years long and I am constantly processing and exploring new ways to understand myself.
Each therapist I have worked with, and the trainings I have pursued have helped me build up a big ole box of tools to help meet my clients with compassion and patience, exactly where they are.
What I Believe
Many of my clients are queer and trans– I am an active ally to all members of this community.
I work with many clients who experience chronic pain and chronic illness. I understand the grief and frustration that come with these experiences.
I am anti-diet culture and anti-fatphobia. I believe in body liberation. I do not help clients change their bodies, but I do help improve their relationship with them.
I am always moving forward with my own work around privilege and race. I believe in the existence of systemic racism and am progressive in my social and political beliefs. I work with clients of all ethnicities and races and work hard to be culturally affirming and open.
I am a non-religious therapist. I have experience working with faith transitions and understand the impact of religion on mental health. I work with clients of any faith, or no faith, and encourage all clients to explore their spirituality.
Many of my clients have experienced trauma, but I am NOT a trauma therapist. I am however, trauma-informed, meaning I am knowledgable and aware of the role our body plays in trauma processing and healing. Clients with active trauma may be referred.
I am neurodivergent-affirming and see clients with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, sensory differences, and more. I also support self-diagnosis as a valid and valuable experience. I was personally diagnosed with ADHD later in life and understand how this can impact our identities.
Are you ready to start your next chapter? I’d be honored to be a part of this journey. I offer online and in-person therapy in Texas.
