Bio

I’m interested in working with queer, neurodivergent people of color and other marginalized people because of my interest in our collective liberation. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort and that clients are responsible for their own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. They have the ability to choose how to resolve their problems. Of course, some things are out of our hands, but what choices can we make of the things within our control? I use experiential awareness and expressive arts to create a space to develop insight in order to grow and heal.

In my practice I like to use expressive arts and EMDR therapy, and tarot if you’re open to it, while also exploring the early events that make us who we are currently. I think tapping into early childhood memories is a great way to gain insight into our present-day struggles. I apply a trauma-informed and social model of disability lens to my practice in order to define and tackle problems.

Therapy can feel nerve-wracking and awkward. It is for me too. Call me for an initial consultation so we can see if we can tolerate being awkward together.

Note: I’m only able to accept clients in Texas at this time.

My current rates are $115/session with reduced fee availability.

Education & Training
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at West Virginia University and my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Sam Houston State University. I have interned at West Oaks Hospital’s inpatient and outpatient facilities, where I gained experience conducting individual and group therapy for adolescents and adults dealing with issues ranging from substance abuse to depression and anxiety.
