all of you is welcome here.

Offering a safe space for folx of all identities to heal.

The world is in disarray and our inner worlds can feel just as chaotic.

Pushing through the pain may have worked before, but we know there must be a better way to heal.

We’re so glad you found your way here.

We know how vulnerable it can feel to consider therapy. We also know how healing it can be to have a non-judgmental guide help make sense of the chaos happening in our outer and inner worlds.

Therapy can help. Asking for space to be heard can be hard, especially when society demands you shrink yourself.

All parts of of your identity are welcome here...to breathe, exist, cry, laugh, or just be.

Let’s Get Started.

It’s time to take up space.

The world asks you to make yourself the same as everyone else. There’s a kind of trauma that happens for those of us that don’t.

We’re in the business of tearing down oppressive societal norms in our own lives and helping folx do the same. We offer inclusive therapy for adult individuals and couples in the Austin area and online therapy to Texas residents.

Happy end to Pride Month my dears! . What does pride mean for you? . For me it means... . Looking back to my former, closeted self and sending love back in time. Telling her that queerness is goodness, that she can leave behind those who withhold kin
"Your ability to restore yourself is your birthright." Tiffani Moore from @healhaus . I was so grateful to receive these words in a virtual meditative practice last week. They reminded me that in me and in you exists the natural mechanism
