Revolutionary women, radical care.
Liberation Centered Counseling and Coaching to help global Black, Indigenous, Women of Color break free from the shackles of self-doubt, burnout, oppression, social, political, and cultural stress.
Hey, I’m Briana!
I offer counseling and coaching to help women of color, activists, healers, educators, organizers, and care workers break free from burnout, self-doubt, internalized oppression, hustle and urgency, heal the wounds of generational and historical trauma, and navigate the social, political, and cultural stress of our times.
Working from liberation psychology and ecowomanist philosophy that centers Black, Indigenous, Women of Color, my approach to care is deeply relational, narrative (meaning you get to tell your/your people’s story), and fiercely rooted in social justice. This is not your typical therapy session—here is a radical space to uproot harmful beliefs and stories, release yourself from cultural and societal expectations, build the courage to challenge oppressive systems at work in our lives, and heal the wounds caused by racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, anti-fatness, erasure, supremacy culture, and colonial violence. My offerings weave my experience of over a decade of therapy, coaching, advocacy, training, education, mentorship, restorative justice work, and conflict resolution.
Who I Work With
Black, Indigenous, Women of Color, folks who are 2SLGBTQ+, and allies interested in politicized work
Activists, healers, educators, organizers, creatives, cycle breakers & change makers on the frontlines
Folks interested in disrupting supremacy culture, racism, colonialism, violence, and oppression
Folks who feel called to the brave, necessary work of rising up in the face of injustice and global crisis
In our work together, we can explore how you can:
Uproot harmful internalized beliefs and heal the wounds caused by racism, ableism, sexism, homophobia, cultural disconnection, erasure, generational trauma, and colonial violence
Recover from and build strategies to navigate burnout, compassion fatigue, moral injury, grief, secondary trauma, and identity loss
Release self-doubt, conforming to cultural and societal norms, self-sacrifice, and self-masking
Embrace self-acceptance, develop radical authenticity, aligned community, and belonging
Reconnect with rest, pleasure, creativity and self-care without guilt or gross consumerism

Now that I've been working with the intuitive genius that she is (because she truly is!), I'm on a path where I feel whole, grounded, capable, and empowered. This has been such a time of growth and healing, and I thank Briana for helping me get here.”

“Briana truly sees you. Sessions with her feel like talking to an expert, a family member, and a best friend, all in one. She has a way of uncovering what you're struggling with, even if you're having a hard time expressing it. She listens deeply and is so present and connected during sessions. She holds you accountable with love, and she cheers you on and validates you so you're at your best!”
