education + Identity
I was born and raised on the lands of the Jumano Nation, Tonkawa Tribe, Sana Tribe, and Coahuiltecan Nation — now known as Austin, Texas. My family has called this place home for five generations, so my roots in this community run deep. Having spent most of my life here, I hold both a deep appreciation for what Texas has given me and a commitment to resisting the oppressive systems that continue to shape the lives and wellbeing of the people who call it home.
In 2015, I graduated with honors from St. Edward's University with a dual degree in Individual and Marriage & Family Counseling, and I've been tending to and evolving my private practice since 2017. In 2024, I completed a 200-hour program through the Sacred Journey School of Herbalism, deepening my relationship with the land and my understanding of ancestral plant medicine practices.
I am shaped by more than my training. I'm a Black, multiracial woman, a creative, and a highly sensitive person — sensitivity that shows up as noticing the subtleties, feeling deeply, and needing plenty of time to recharge.
When I'm not working, you can usually find me cooking up a feast with my family, tending the garden, or spinning records at home with a good book in hand. Can you tell I'm an introvert yet?
People I’m learning from…
Every offering is shaped by the thinkers, artists, organizers, healers, and storytellers who continue to expand my imagination. Here are a few whose work I return to again and again.
bell hooks
Who continually reminds me that love is something we practice, truth-telling is an act of care and that we were never meant to walk alone.
Robin Wall Kimmerer
Whose work reminds me that the way forward often begins by remembering where we came from.
Adrienne Maree Brown
Who introduced me to the works of Octavia Butler and challenges me to consider that change is not something to fear, but it is something that we can influence.
Soul Fire Farm
Teaching me that our gifts are meant to be shared, and there's profound freedom in rooting deeply into who we are and what we're here to do.
