Most of my clients aren’t broken. They’re just living lives that don’t fit neatly into the frameworks most therapists were trained to expect. Maybe you’ve felt that way too — like the relationships, identities, or beliefs that make up who you are have never quite been met with the understanding they deserve.

Or maybe what’s brought you here is quieter. A pattern you keep noticing in yourself. A direction that’s stopped making sense. An anxiety that’s gotten too loud to ignore. A loss you’re still navigating. A sense that something needs to change but you can’t quite name what.

Whichever it is, you deserve a therapist who can meet you where you actually are — not where it’s convenient or comfortable for them to look.

What people come to me for

Most of the work I do is the work that brings anyone to therapy: anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief and loss, self-esteem, and the quieter questions about meaning and direction that don’t have an obvious diagnostic label. People often come in not because they’re in crisis but because something has shifted, or stopped working, or grown harder to ignore.

What’s distinctive about my practice is the population I do that work with. Over more than twenty years, I’ve built a practice around people whose relationships, identities, or beliefs fall outside mainstream norms — and that has shaped everything about how I work.

Who I work with

I have deep personal and professional familiarity with communities that many therapists aren’t equipped to work with:

• LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples
• People in consensually non-monogamous, polyamorous, or open relationships
• People in kink and BDSM relationships, of all orientations
• Pagan, animist, and minority spiritual practitioners
• Atheist, agnostic, and secular clients

Many of my clients are also neurodivergent.

What this means in practice is that you won’t need to orient me, defend your choices, or wonder what I actually think. Your relationship structure, sexuality, spirituality, or neurotype is part of the context — not the problem to be solved. We can get to the actual work, whatever that work happens to be.

My approach

My approach draws on cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, existential, and psychodynamic traditions. Sessions are conversational, honest, and free of judgment. I’ll engage directly with what you bring, which means you can expect to be challenged as well as supported. In my experience, the most meaningful change happens when people feel both genuinely safe and genuinely stretched.

At the core of the work are three deceptively simple questions:

• How do you see the world?
• How do you see others?
• How do you see yourself?

Most of us have never really examined the answers — but those answers shape everything. Therapy is where we face them directly, and where they can finally be rebuilt on your own terms.

Getting started

I see clients in person in Houston and via telehealth throughout Texas. If something on this page resonated, that’s worth paying attention to.
