LGBTQIA+ Therapy in Texas

Whatever brought you here, we can start there.

Maybe it's tied to identity, family, or belonging. Maybe it's a relationship, a loss, or a stretch where things stopped feeling manageable. Maybe you want to tell the whole story from the beginning, and maybe you'd rather go straight to the part that hurts.

There's room for all of it here.

Book a Consult

You're allowed to come here about something else entirely.

Plenty of people find an affirming therapist and then spend the whole time talking about their mother, or their job, or the fact that they can't sleep. That's not a waste of an affirming space. That's the point of having one.

Being queer shapes your life. It affects how you're treated, what you calculate before you speak, and who you can be in which rooms. All of that is real and we can go there. But you're a whole person with a whole life, and identity doesn't have to be the topic just because it's the reason you picked me.

Come in about whatever is actually bothering you.

Some of it is about being queer. Some of it isn't.

Family who are polite and not accepting, and holidays that cost you something every year

Coming out and religious upbringing you're still untangling from

Being the only one at work, and the constant low-level math of how much of yourself to bring

Grief that other people don't fully recognize as grief

Anxiety, depression, or exhaustion that stopped feeling temporary

A breakup, a career change, a move, a loss

Wanting to figure out what you actually want, separate from what you were told to want

Relationships, dating, and the particular exhaustion of it

How I work.

I'm interested in your whole life, not a category of it.

My doctoral training is in existential counseling, which mostly means I'm paying attention to the bigger questions underneath the presenting problem. What you want. What you've been carrying that was never yours to carry. What it would cost to change, and what it's costing not to.

Those questions land differently when you've spent time being told who you were supposed to be. A lot of the work is separating what's genuinely yours from what got installed early.

As a gay man, I understand some of these experiences firsthand, but I won’t assume I know your story. Being gay doesn’t tell me what it’s like to be trans, bi, ace, or to navigate the unique challenges of your identity—I’d rather ask than assume. My doctoral training includes LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, and I’ve facilitated LGBTQ young adult support groups and volunteered with the Human Rights Campaign for years.

I'm direct. I'll tell you what I notice. I won't be careful with you in the way that means avoiding things.

Trans and nonbinary clients.

I work with trans and nonbinary clients on the same range of things I work on with anyone: relationships, family, anxiety, work, grief, meaning, self-understanding. Your identity is not a clinical issue and I won't treat it as one.

There are also parts of this work that call for a specialist, and I'd rather be clear about that up front than have you find out in session four. While I do not provide letters for gender-affirming medical care, If you’re seeking medical transition support, I can connect you with an MD or other appropriate medical provider for consultation and care.
