I’m Brii (she/her/ella), a bilingual & trauma-informed clinical pre-licensed therapist, provisionally registered art therapist, certified yoga instructor, and multidisciplinary artist practicing in Austin, TX.

I am also a first-generation, queer, bicultural Latina, mother, and lifelong student. I graduated with a Master of Art in Art Therapy & Counseling from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My journey includes working with children, young adults, and adults in community mental health care and residential care in both inpatient and outpatient treatment settings.

I believe in the power of healing through storytelling and expression. I am passionate about the intersections of mental health, advocacy, and the process of creating to explore the relationship with the self and others.

I approach clinical work from a trauma-informed, healing-centered perspective.  I believe that individuals are influenced by biopsychosocial and cultural influences; the client is the expert on their life. Particular care and attention is given to intersectionality; the interconnectedness of our social identities (age, race, ethnicity, gender, class, disability, and religion, among others) is at the core of everyday experience, life stories, and bodies. I am informed by various theoretical models such as cultural-relational theories, polyvagal theory, attachment theory, dialectical behavior therapy, feminist theory, person-centered approaches, and psychodynamic approaches. I believe that it informs our movement, relationships, and place in the world.
