Affirming therapy supporting BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals
Psychotherapy and counseling services for adults in Texas and Illinois.
Are you carrying experiences of marginalization or feeling disconnected from others? Maybe you’re feeling fragmented, stuck in survival mode, or unsure how to trust yourself after years of adapting to environments that weren’t built with you in mind. Maybe you’re looking for therapy that recognizes how culture, relationships, and systemic factors impact you, without reducing you to those experiences.
Many of the people I work with come to therapy seeking deeper self-understanding, healing from past experiences, and more fulfilling connections with others and themselves. Their goals go beyond symptom relief; they want stronger self-trust, a sense of agency, and to feel like active participants in their own lives rather than simply responding to what happens to them.
Together, we can work toward integration that feels authentic, sustainable, true to your values, and respectful of your nervous system.

My approach is trauma-informed, multicultural, and feminist. I am kink- and poly- affirming. I can incorporate modalities like IFS (Internal Family Systems), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), KAP (Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy), Expressive Arts, and Dreamwork, supporting you in a way that feels aligned with who you are and at a pace that honors your nervous system.
I provide an affirming space where you can be seen by someone who genuinely wants to know and understand you. Together, we can explore your experiences and support you in showing up more fully and authentically in your life.
