The Power of Language in Discussing Suicide
The language we use to discuss suicide is important as it conveys implicit and explicit…
I was born and raised in Grand Prairie, TX, and during the pandemic, I took a leap of faith to embark on an adventure to Austin. Once that journey felt complete, I packed up my life, along with the wisdom of that experience, and returned home to those I hold most dear. Known as “honey girl” to the sweetest Granny Gran you’d ever meet, I’m the proud daughter of social justice warriors, baby sister of two, big sister to one, and sisterfriend to an intimate circle of beloveds. Aunt is my favorite role of all! I love books, coffee, music, and belly laughs. I am endlessly curious about everything.
I strive to co-create a space with clients that allows for healing from past harm and makes room for us to show up as our authentic selves. I do this by prioritizing consent and collaboration. I am honored to journey with individuals, partners –romantic, platonic, and business –and groups as they seek to (re)define who they are, (re)discover their voice, and (re)establish a harmonious connection. I especially enjoy working with sibling suicide loss survivors, Black women navigating singleness + infertility due to uterine fibroids, and people working to heal their relationship with money.
We live in a world that is designed to create conditions where people suffer and live their lives trapped in survival mode. The impact and consequences are quite detrimental to our well-being, to the relationships we have with ourselves, with others, and the external world. I believe we deserve healing and space for thriving. Counseling can be one space to strategize how to resist injustice and rewrite our story to live more abundantly.
You are ready for change. I want to help. From our initial consultation to your therapy graduation, I act with purpose, providing a balance of care, support, and challenge in all of our interactions.
I am bringing my education and experience, but you will always be the expert on you. We will work together to explore your challenges and strengths and to identify better paths toward your goals.
I have seen some of the toughest situations and I have hope even when you struggle to do so. When we can't make lemonade out of the lemons life gives us, it helps to have someone sit with us as we heal.
Your investment is $150 per session for individual counseling.
I accept self-pay (credit/debit), FSA, HSA, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, Aetna, Loveland Foundation Therapy Vouchers, and funding through the Bridging the Gap Foundation only.
Difficult experiences may leave us feeling lost and unlike ourselves. Trauma therapy can help you process the past to move forward to the future you deserve.
Loss is one the most difficult challenges we face in life and it can greatly alter how we navigate the world. Some loss can be traumatic and therapy can help you through this time.
Early adulthood is full of transition. Decisions about the path to take –whether to enter the workforce, start a business or to attend college – and who you are becoming add a number of stressors, particularly for those blazing a new path for their lineage.
Our beliefs, values, and habits around money greatly impact our quality of life and well-being. Identifying and addressing the challenges can help .
