What Therapy with Me Looks Like:
In our work together, I strive to create a space that feels safe, non-judgmental, and comforting—somewhere you can truly be yourself. Every session is tailored to you and your unique needs, because there’s no one-size-fits-all in healing. We'll explore what you want out of therapy, and I’ll walk alongside you as a supportive partner in reaching your goals, at your pace.
About Me:
My name is Jace and I am a Licensed Professional Counseling - Associate supervised by Dr. Ana Salazar. I’m an openly gay counselor who’s passionate about helping people from all backgrounds feel supported and empowered. After a career in teaching, I followed my calling to connect more deeply through counseling
I’m also a proud member of the Corpus Christi Pride Board, a cat lover, the color pink's biggest fan, and a drag entertainer known as Kalico Kandy. Whether in session or on stage, I’m all about creating space for authenticity, joy, and community.
