The Empowering Space PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Compassionate Support for Individuals Living with HIV/AIDS
A diagnosis of HIV/AIDS can bring a range of emotions—fear, uncertainty, stigma, or isolation—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. At The Empowering Space, we provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and affirming environment where you can process your experiences, address emotional challenges, and build a fulfilling life with confidence.
Using trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we help individuals manage anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, and self-acceptance. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, living with HIV for years, or struggling with the emotional and social impact of the condition, we’re here to support you in reclaiming your strength, resilience, and well-being.
You are more than a diagnosis. Let’s work together to build a life filled with hope, empowerment, and support.

Online in Austin, TX
Austin's explosive tech-industry growth has brought an influx of young professionals navigating burnout, identity shifts, and the pressures of rapid lifestyle change in an increasingly expensive city. The city has a large LGBTQ+ community and strong demand for affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, relationship dynamics, and life transitions. The University of Texas and major hospital systems including Ascension Seton and St. David's HealthCare provide substantial mental health resources alongside the city's growing network of private practices. Many Austin therapists offer telehealth, making it easier to find care across the wider metro and surrounding Hill Country communities.
