I work with high-performing professionals in law, advocacy, and leadership, particularly BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals, who are carrying the weight of vicarious trauma, burnout, survivor's guilt, and systemic injustice. My clients often feel like they can't slow down, let alone fall apart. They're deeply committed to their work, yet emotionally exhausted and navigating identity-based stress in systems never built for them.
I'm a trauma-informed, soul-rooted therapist licensed in both Louisiana and Texas, offering virtual therapy for adults ready to move from survival mode into grounded, liberated healing. I specialize in working with women of color, high-functioning professionals, and justice advocates who are ready to rest, restore, and reclaim themselves.
As an EMDR and IFS-trained therapist, I help clients safely unpack what they carry, reconnect with their internal resources, and heal the parts that have long been overextended or unseen. My work centers depth, trust, and transformation without the pressure to perform.
