I'm genderqueer in orientation & presentation, AUDHD, polyamourous (over 17 years practicing), kink-affirming (over 18 years practicing), non-religious LCSW. I am licensed in Texas with several years of professional therapy experience. I have nearly 20 years working in end of life and chronic illnesses.

I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment and I meet clients where they are. I take a collaborative approach in our work together as our needs are so varied and can change weekly.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
