Healing While Black, LLC

About Healing While Black

Healing While Black LLC is dedicated to normalizing conversations around health and wellness for Black queer, trans*, and gender non-conforming people. For many of us, we know our mental health is correlated to the oppressive systems (including, but not limited to, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and classism) we navigate daily. My job as your coach is to provide comprehensive, quality, and trauma-informed support as we set out to actualize your goals.

I am a Certified Life Coach, trained in Youth and Adult Mental Health First Aid and Trauma Informed Care by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.
