Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I became a therapist after working as a bartender. I loved connecting with people and hearing their stories. There was one specific moment when a customer was opening up to me about sexual trauma she had experienced. I remember thinking "I'm not equipped to help her in this moment, but I want to be." That was the moment it clicked for me that I wanted to be a therapist. What motivates me to continue is watching my clients grow.

I'm a queer, neurodivergent sex and relationship therapist. I work with individuals, couples, and larger relationship constellations. I help my clients increase their comfort with their bodies and sexualities, better connect to their loved ones, find peace from anxiety, and move away from shame. Though I work with all clients, I particularly love working with other queer and/or neurodivergent people. I also specialize in clients healing from religious trauma.

I became a therapist because I believe in the power of the present to shape a brighter future. My passion lies in helping others overcome adversity and live fully. What motivates me is witnessing the transformation that occurs when clients realize their strengths and begin to navigate their lives with confidence and purpose.

I believe in the power of the present to shape a brighter future. While the past may hold difficult situations that influence us, my focus is on understanding and resolving these challenges to empower you to live fully in the present. My approach to therapy is rooted in providing you with the right coping and problem-solving skills, allowing you to take control of your life and navigate its complexities with confidence. I am a Bilingual Latina therapist based in Austin, Texas, dedicated to providing holistic, person-centered therapy.

My mission is to offer empathetic, accessible, and culturally competent mental health services to help clients navigate their struggles and achieve mental wellness.

I became a therapist because of my experiences with therapy as a young person.  I wanted to help people like I was helped. I am really motivated these days by learning to work more and more outside that typical "therapy" box and do things that would have been ore helpful to me when I was really struggling.  I am really drawn to being creative in therapy and open to all ways of growth and healing.

I really work hard to be creative in therapy learning more and more ways to help people.  Especially people that may to have been helped in the traditional ways that therapy is often done.  

My passion for mental health care stems from years of working with critically ill and psychiatric patients. Seeing the profound impact that compassionate care can have on someone's life motivates me to continue. I strive to provide a safe space for individuals to heal, grow, and achieve balance in their mental health.

I have a passion for working with clients to heal the wounds of abuse, other traumas, or narcissism; work through family-of-origin and attachment issues; liberate from the confines of anxiety, panic, phobias, and OCD (or obsessive-compulsive tendencies); repair and/or heal from relational issues; develop effective boundary-drawing; transform self-concept/esteem; and grow to find peace, joy, purpose, and overall wellness.  I offer a compassionate understanding of who you are, how you show up in the world, and how you experience things.

After going through an extremely rough and traumatic time in my early 20s, which really felt like rock bottom despair, it pushed me into a deep healing journey where I was able to transform myself and my life in ways that I never believed were possible. This took years and it was through therapy where I really started this important work with myself.  I am motivated every day knowing that I can help clients transform their own lives as well. I am forever honored and humbled that my clients entrust me with their stories and that I can hold space for them to navigate their own histories, traumas and personal challenges. Getting into the weeds of our lives can feel scary and overwhelming, but I have experienced firsthand how doing the work to understand ourselves more deeply can radically change our lives for the better. I feel truly lucky that I get to aid others on their own personal journeys.

Hi there! I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in the Denver Metro Area. I work with adults, couples and teens ages 16+. My expertise is in treating PTSD, trauma, and anxiety.  

My inspiration for being a therapist was born during my sophomore year for college when I was struggling to stay out of academic probation. I was sitting in a Psychology 101 class, hoping for an easy ‘A,’ when the professor started talking about anxiety. In that moment it clicked, that’s what I’d been struggling with! In the process of seeking support and trying to understand what I was dealing with, I encountered so many obstacles from having to hurdle over my own bias’ to finding the right therapist. Through it all, it frustrated me that it had taken over 18 years of my life to have access to information about mental health. Thus, my desire to become a therapist was born out of the desire to bring mental health information and services that are simple, high quality and accessible to the community.
