Identity & Authenticity Therapy · Texas Statewide Virtual
Who are you when
you stop performing
for everyone else?
You've been so many things to so many people for so long — the role, the title, the version of you that fits. But underneath all of that, something feels unaccounted for. Like there's a self you haven't fully met yet. That feeling is worth following.
Identity isn't something you find. It's something you uncover.
The self you're looking for isn't missing — it's been there, underneath the roles and the expectations and the versions of you that you built to survive. This work is about getting underneath all of that. Here's what that often involves.
Living for external validation
Measuring your worth by what others think, achieve, or reflect back to you — and the emptiness when it's never quite enough.
The performance of having it together
Presenting a version of yourself that functions well and feels nothing like what's actually happening inside.
Navigating race, culture & identity
The specific weight of moving through spaces where you've had to code-switch, shrink, or justify your existence — and what that costs over time.
Major life transitions & reinvention
When a role, relationship, or chapter ends and you're left asking who you are without it — and who you want to become.
Chronic inauthenticity & disconnection
Going through the motions of a life that looks fine on the outside while feeling quietly estranged from yourself on the inside.
This isn't about reinventing yourself. It's about meeting yourself.
Identity work isn't about becoming someone new. It's about peeling back what was layered on — the adaptations, the performances, the selves you built for other people's comfort — and finding out what's actually underneath.
I work psychodynamically, which means we're interested in the deeper questions: how did you come to understand yourself this way? What early experiences shaped the story you tell about who you are? And what would it mean to revise that story?
I bring particular attention to the ways race, culture, and identity intersect in this work — especially for Black women and women of color navigating spaces that were never built for them. That context isn't a footnote. It's central to who you are and how you've had to move through the world.
I work exclusively with women — all across Texas, virtually.
My practice is fully online. Whether you're in Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, or anywhere else in Texas, we can work together. Identity work is some of the most personal work there is — it deserves a space that feels entirely yours, at a pace that's entirely yours.
Women who feel like strangers to themselves
Who look at their own life and feel like they're watching someone else — capable, functional, and somehow not quite there.
Black women & women of color
Navigating the specific labor of existing in spaces that require constant adaptation, code-switching, and self-erasure.
Women at a crossroads
Who are in the middle of a big change — or on the edge of one — and want to move into the next chapter as themselves, not a reaction to everything before.
Things women ask me before we start.
I don't have a specific problem. I just feel lost. Is that enough to come to therapy?
Yes — and honestly, this kind of lostness is one of the most meaningful things to bring to therapy. You don't need a diagnosis or a crisis. Feeling disconnected from yourself, unsure of what you want, like something is off but you can't name it — that's real, and it's exactly the kind of thing this work is designed for.
What does identity work actually look like in a session?
It's less structured than it sounds. We talk — about what you're noticing, what's pulling at you, what doesn't feel right anymore. We follow what's alive. I pay attention to what lights up and what goes flat, to what you say and what you can't quite say yet. Over time, a clearer picture of who you are and what you actually want tends to emerge from that.
I'm a Black woman and I want a therapist who gets it. Is that you?
I work with Black women specifically and bring real attention to the ways race, culture, and identity shape our inner lives. I understand the particular weight of navigating predominantly white spaces, the complexity of strong Black woman narratives, and the cost of constantly adapting yourself to fit. That context isn't something you'll have to explain from scratch — it's something we work with.
Do you offer online therapy in Texas?
Yes — my practice is fully virtual. I'm licensed in Texas and work with women all across the state. We meet over a secure video platform at a time that works for your life.
Do you take insurance?
I'm a private-pay practice. I don't bill insurance directly, but I can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement and I accept HSA and FSA. Full details are on my Work With Me page.
She's still in there. Let's find her.
A free consultation is a place to start — just a conversation about where you are, what you're looking for, and whether we're a good fit.
