Life can be challenging and I want to help individuals build new skills and gain insight in helping overcome those challenges.
What truly sets me apart is my calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach. I believe in meeting every individual exactly where they are, creating a safe and affirming space for open, honest communication. Together, we’ll build a collaborative relationship where goals, preferences, and values guide every step of your care. I am committed to providing stigma-free care; including those navigating challenges related to neurodivergence, substance use, trauma, identity or difficult past experiences. Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and respected without fear of shame or judgment.
It's easy to feel stuck in life with limited support. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in private practice and inpatient settings, I strive to make my clients seen and heard for who they are.
You should know that I truly care about who you are, not just the symptoms you’re experiencing. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or dismissed in the past. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first conversation.
I approach every person with compassion, patience, and curiosity. I take the time to understand your story, your stressors, and what matters most to you, so your care is never one-size-fits-all. I believe healing happens best when you feel supported and involved in your treatment, and I see our work as a true partnership.
I am committed to using evidence-based practices while also honoring your lived experience. Whether we are focusing on medication, coping strategies, or long-term growth, I will always be honest, supportive, and collaborative.
Above all, you should know that you are not alone here, and your well-being is my priority.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Amarillo, TX
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Amarillo starts with looking for identity-affirming care. A therapist with experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people may list affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or work with sexual orientation, gender identity, family relationships, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach to see whether their training matches the type of support you want.
In a mid-size city like Amarillo, local affirming therapists may vary by availability, specialty, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still giving you access to licensed therapists in Texas. As you compare therapists, look at whether they are accepting new patients, offer scheduling that fits your calendar, provide a free phone consultation, and explicitly mention LGBTQIA+ populations in their bios. Bios can also show how a therapist describes their style, communication, and experience.
Therapy in Amarillo can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
