People say I am a good listener so I will get to know you and the goals you bring to therapy
I work with clients presenting with a variety of concerns, but work primarily with family history and attachment patterns showing up in the present. Many of my clients come in for current stressors, and find they also need help with developmental trauma.
Clients are welcome to book the first available consultation time on my calendar. I will reach out upon booking to confirm our time, and will offer something sooner if it is available.
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.
Example: "I have always wanted a job where I was of service to others, but I didn't know how to channel that into a career until I took an introduction to psychology course in college. We learned a lot about mental illness, what causes it and different ways to treat it, which inspired me to pursue my degree. I loved the idea of helping others overcome mental illness and helping them achieve their life goals."
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and board-approved supervisor in Texas. I received my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017 from The University of Texas at Tyler. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the effects of past experiences that continue to show up in the present.
In my work, I focus on creating a space that feels steady, supportive, and nonjudgmental. Many of the people I work with aren’t always sure where to start. They may just know that something feels off or overwhelming. Together, we begin to make sense of those experiences in a way that feels more manageable.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Pasadena
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Pasadena starts with looking for identity-affirming care. An affirming therapist may support concerns related to identity, relationships, family stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, experience with gender-diverse people, WPATH training, or LGBTQIA+-affirming care. Finding a therapist who fits your needs matters beyond credentials, and a detailed profile can help you understand how they approach care.
In a smaller city like Pasadena, the number of local LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still helping you find someone licensed in Texas. You may also want to compare appointment availability, therapy approach, therapist background, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading each therapist’s profile can help you see whether they clearly work with LGBTQIA+ people and how they describe their communication style.
Therapy in Pasadena 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 profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
