Professional statement

Elizabeth is a therapist in Texas specializing in LGBTQIA+ support, college students, children of immigrants, and individuals who have left faith groups. She treats anxiety and depression from a comprehensive lens, acknowledging clinical/medical needs, environment, and systemic issues (racism, trans-generational trauma, etc.) She provides a safe space and an opportunity to feel truly heard so clients may begin or continue the healing process. She works to help individuals gain a greater sense of self compassion and reduce judgment toward self and others.

Other services:

Immigration mental health evaluations and written reports for those working with an attorney on immigration matters in Texas (e.g., VAWA, U-Visa, Extreme Hardship Waiver).

Assessments and letters for trans/non-binary individuals seeking HRT or surgery (single session appointments ok)

Resume services and assistance with job search/interview prep


Message to clients

It's ok to not be ok, but you don't have to suffer any longer. Now is the time to reach out. We will work together to come up with a plan to help meet your needs.

I identify as an Asian American, cisgender female (pronouns she/her), and I am passionate about supporting BIPOC, mixed race, and trans/non-binary individuals. I grew up in Texas and lived in Japan while teaching English for over a year. Many of my clients seek someone with an understanding of multicultural identities and/or knowledge of trans issues.

My experience includes leading trans/non-binary support groups, individual counseling with LGBTQIA+ populations, and intensive outpatient (IOP) groups focusing on severe mental illness. While working on a college campus, I provided short and long-term individual therapy, presentations and support for International students/students of color, and was involved in BIPOC staff/faculty organization supporting students.
