Healing in Communion is a queer-owned, Latina/Xicana-owned therapy practice serving adults throughout Texas.

Based in Austin, TX, our practice is founded on a simple but transformative belief:

Healing happens in relationship.

Just as many of our deepest wounds occur within relationships—with family, communities, institutions, or systems—healing also unfolds through safe, authentic, and compassionate connection. We believe there is no healing without first honoring the wound. Rather than viewing woundedness as something to erase, we understand it as an invitation toward restoration, self-understanding, and reconnection.

Healing in Communion was created as a space where people can return to themselves with curiosity rather than judgment, where every part of their story is welcomed, and where healing becomes an act of remembering our inherent wholeness.

At Healing in Communion, therapy is collaborative, relational, and rooted in the belief that every person's experiences make sense within the contexts in which they have lived.

My approach is trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, culturally responsive, and grounded in social work values of dignity, justice, and liberation. This means I remain curious about how systems of oppression, historical trauma, culture, identity, power, and lived experiences shape both emotional suffering and resilience. Rather than reducing people to diagnoses or viewing healing through rigid binaries, I seek to understand the complexity of each person's story.

Together, we create a therapeutic relationship that feels safe enough to explore difficult emotions, longstanding patterns, and experiences that may have once felt impossible to speak aloud.

My clinical work integrates evidence-based trauma therapies with relational, somatic, and narrative approaches, recognizing that healing involves both the mind and the body. Therapy becomes a place to:

• make space for every emotion without judgment

• reconnect with the wisdom already held within your body

• explore personal and collective wounds with compassion

• strengthen relationships with yourself and others

• move toward greater freedom, authenticity, and belonging

At its heart, my work is an ongoing practice of tending to relationships—with ourselves, one another, and the communities we hope to build.

Healing in Communion specializes in working with adults navigating the lasting impact of trauma and chronic stress.

We work with individuals who may be experiencing:

• Complex trauma (Complex PTSD)

• Childhood trauma and attachment wounds

• Survivors of abuse and interpersonal violence

• LGBTQIA+ community members

• Latiné individuals seeking culturally responsive care

• Military-connected individuals, veterans, and their families

• First responders

• Helping professionals experiencing secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, or burnout

• Individuals navigating identity, belonging, and life transitions

Whether your wounds stem from relationships, institutions, systems, or experiences that have left you feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy offers an opportunity to begin repairing those relationships from the inside out.

You do not have to carry your story alone.

Healing happens in communion—with ourselves, with trusted others, and with the communities that remind us we belong.
