Hello! and let me say congrats! on getting this far in the process of choosing a clinician. I am a LPC-Associate(under supervision of Dr. Melisa Fleming, LPC-S) with my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas A&M-San Antonio, working towards my sex therapy certification through the Sexual Health Alliance.
I specialize in working with sexually/relationally diverse individuals struggling with long-term mental health disorders or chronic health issues. While I can talk all day with you about your consensual non-monogamy, polyamory, kink, fetish or LGBTQ+ identity/orientation, I also understand that those aspects of you are only part of the mosaic of you. If you desire to work with someone who gets that intersectional life(both on a professional and personal level), then I would be honored to help you on your journey of healing/growth.
Clinically, I bring my background in public health science to my passion for healing on an individual/relationship level. I have worked in community health organizations for over 10 years and now that I am in the role of counselor I still hold that we are all very affected by the world around us. Those with long-term health struggles and minority status suffer more than they deserve, and I want to help alleviate some of that undue burden, by treating the sexual/relationship side of you as a strength in the fight with your everyday battles. I focus on using Neuro-Narrative, emotion-focused theories, with a heavy dash of systems thinking and attachment theory, to help people find contentment in life and move through trauma in a way that empowers.
