Frequently Asked Questions
I believe everyone can benefit from therapy. It can be quite helpful to talk to someone in a neutral, judgement-free, and safe space.
I practice from a feminist, relational, and trauma-informed lens, which in-part means that I view each client as a whole person by considering their journey and context and try my best to create a safe environment to hold space for anything a person may bring to a session. No topic is off-limits! In practice, I ultimately utilize an integrative approach and enjoy using Somatic Experiencing, mindfulness, expressive arts, Internal Family Systems, and dialectical-behavioral therapy (DBT). At the end of the day, there’s no one-size-fits-all to trauma work and the healing process.
I work with adults and women of color on a variety of trauma-related issues and topics.
Areas I specialize in include
Survivors of childhood trauma
Complex PTSD
Intergenerational trauma
Body image concerns
Perfectionism
Dissociation
Self-worth and self-esteem
Culture or identity-based traumaSomatic Experiencing is a trauma-healing approach that focuses on how overwhelming experiences impact the nervous system and the body. Instead of diving straight into the story, SE helps you track sensations, slow down activation, complete survival responses that got stuck, and build more capacity, regulation, and resilience over time.

Once we have a consultation session and decide we are a good fit for one another, we will schedule our first session! Our first session will just be a time for us to further get to know one another to make sure I am the right therapist for you. We will also go over your rights as a client, informed consent, as well as how I view therapy and what the process will look like.
Counseling sessions are typically held on a weekly basis for new clients. It has been my experience that therapy is most effective when there is an early commitment to the process. This allows us to develop goals that fit your needs, build rapport, and gain momentum.
I offer both in-person and virtual therapy. In-person therapy is held at my office in Dallas, Texas. Virtual services are provided through a secure video platform.
