As a queer therapist, I specialize in affirmative therapy with people in the LGBTQIA+ community at Resource Center, one of the largest LGBTQ centers in Dallas TX. I believe counseling is a unique experience for everyone that allows for self-discovery, insights, emotional healing, and improved relationships. In counseling, I strive to create a laid back and warm environment that promotes compassion and curiosity. I believe curiosity is a powerful tool that can help alleviate the fear and shame behind our thoughts and emotions that impact our daily existence.

Do you often find it difficult to find the words to describe your feelings? Or to open up to people and feel a connection with them? Or are you a parent who struggles with a challenging & strained relationship with your child? The individual clients I typically work with say they feel like they don't fit in, feel misunderstood, have a lot of chaos in their lives, have trouble relating to and trusting others, & struggle with feelings of emptiness, yet feel intense emotions that they are afraid to express.

Anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and the endless stress of our fast paced society contribute to suffering and interfere with our ability to enjoy life. Working with couples and individuals from a mindfulness-based perspective to promote compassion, patience, and kindness is my primary goal and the approach I take in therapy. When we learn to be true to ourselves, we are better able to give to others and appreciate the abundance in our lives. My intention is to support clients in learning to honor and accept themselves.

Something is bothering you. Maybe it has always been there, or maybe it just reared its ugly head. Whatever the case – a hurt, a wound, a trauma - it leaves you feeling disoriented, unsure of which way is your true north. You’ve told yourself countless times, or heard well-meaning friends and relatives say, “Just get over it!” Yet, try as you might, those words are a dead end. Every step seems to take you further away from the things that matter most: your relationships, your passions, and worst of all, your sense of self.

Life can be chaotic. Now more than ever before! It is easy to feel like you've lost sense of yourself. I believe we all have an inner guidance system, sort of like a compass, that leads us on our path. Through life’s traumas and all of the conditioning we go through in our day-to-day experience as humans, you might feel like that internal compass is broken.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
