I’m a queer, gender-nonconforming therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-Associate) based in Houston, Texas. I provide LGBTQ+ affirming therapy to adults throughout Texas via telehealth, with a focus on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, identity exploration, and relationship concerns.

I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southern Methodist University (SMU), where I completed a concentration in LGBTQ+ Affirmative Therapy. During my clinical training, I worked at Resource Center in Dallas, an LGBTQ+ nonprofit organization, providing individual counseling to queer and trans adults and facilitating therapy groups focused on gender identity, self-exploration, relationships, and the experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals.

As a queer therapist myself, I understand the importance of having a space where your identity is respected without needing to explain or defend it. My approach is affirming, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that therapy should support your autonomy rather than prescribe who you should be. I work with clients navigating gender and sexuality exploration, internalized shame, relationship difficulties, identity-related stress, and the expectations placed on them by family, culture, or society. You do not need to have a particular label, a settled identity, or a specific goal in mind to begin therapy.

Alongside my LGBTQ+ affirmative work, I specialize in treating OCD and anxiety. I have additional training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT). My approach also incorporates person-centered and existential perspectives, with an emphasis on helping clients develop greater flexibility, self-understanding, and a life aligned with their values.

I am the founder of Counter Practice Therapy, a virtual private practice serving adults across Texas. I strive to provide a therapeutic relationship that is compassionate, direct, curious, and free from judgment, where clients can explore difficult experiences without pressure to fit into anyone else’s expectations.

I currently provide services under the supervision of a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S).
