About My Practice
I am a licensed clinical social worker and contemplative psychotherapist practicing counseling in Texas. As a trauma-informed therapist, I specialize in exploring LGBTQ2+ and race-based related trauma while ensuring that my clients feel safe and comfortable. My work guides people to return to themselves through understanding and attuning to their nervous system while rediscovering the wisdom inherent in their own bodies. My philosophy centers around the understanding that you are always the expert of your own life. This emphasizes the importance of witnessing and supporting your personal journey, with the overall aim to assist you in improving the quality of your life and your relationships.
​
My work integrates trauma theory, mindfulness and somatic psychology. I'm inspired by my own transformation and healing through meditation, psychotherapy, mind-body approaches and integrative healing practices. Therefore my approach integrates perspectives from neuroscience, trauma research and psychotherapy, as well as meditation and breathing practices.
My Background
​
Through my training in social work, I've been in various settings throughout the years providing case management and advocacy services to diverse populations, from horticultural/vocational programming for persons living with disabilities to immigration advocacy. Whether through countless hours serving in Americorps, as a community organizer, or developing international programming and facilitating the Kingian nonviolence curriculum - these experiences well equipped me in a role for activism, social justice, and advocacy. I completed Dr. Miles Neale's two-year Contemplative Studies Program, which has greatly influenced my work as a psychotherapist. Most recently I served survivors of physical, sexual, and childhood trauma for over seven years including legal advocacy, trauma counseling, and as an expert witness.
​I would be honored to collaborate with you in a non-judgmental and supportive way to guide you through your journey of transformation. Please contact me for a free consultation and we'll ensure we are a good fit for each other.
