About me

As a licensed therapist in Texas, Florida, California, Wyoming, New Mexico, New Hampshire, and Arizona with 10 years of experience on this platform, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on creating affirming, compassionate spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals, young adults, and those experiencing relationship challenges, anxiety, and personal growth obstacles.

My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in understanding each person's unique journey. I offer expertise in addressing depression, stress, social anxiety, workplace dynamics, and interpersonal communication. With a commitment to inclusive, non-judgmental care, I support clients exploring sexuality, gender identity, relationship structures, and personal empowerment.

Drawing from two decades of clinical experience, I help individuals develop resilience, self-understanding, and meaningful strategies for emotional wellness. Whether you're confronting trauma, relationship transitions, or seeking deeper self-acceptance, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with genuine empathy and professional guidance.

I enjoy talking with Jay as I feel I can talk openly and respect his feedback and suggestions.

Written on May 30, 2026 after therapy with Henry "Jay" for 1 year and 1 month on issues concerning relationship issues

I have talked to Jay for over 6 years. Three jobs, one set of active duty orders, several relationships, and a smattering of chaotic experiences ranging from the life-altering to the chronically annoying. He has helped me through all of them. I really cannot speak highly enough of the man, and I am eternally grateful for his counseling and - if it is OK to say this - his friendship.
