(she/her)
Hey, I'm Briana! I'm a Black, abolitionist, eco-womanist, therapist, and founder of Revolutionary Women's Wellness. I offer politicized and liberation focused counseling to help activists, organizers, educators, artists, students, and care workers break free from burnout, self-doubt, and internalized oppression, heal the wounds of historical and generational trauma, and navigate the social, political, and cultural stress of our times. Drawing from liberation psychology, relational therapy, and narrative therapy, my approach is fiercely rooted in social justice, community building, and cultural affirmation.
Our work together is a collaborative process. I conduct sessions by centering curiosity and connection, while aiming to make the most therapeutic impact in any single session.You have the agency to choose how we spend our time together—we facilitate a safe and brave space for the unfolding of your journey. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits all healing approach, and my style and approach is fluid and tailored to meet your unique needs. My job is to explore with you and ask good questions. I see people as separate from problems; YOU are not the problem. I’m more interested in the full and complex picture of your experience in the world than in labeling or diagnosing.
I’m adept at making space for difference, creative and out of the box thinking, offering insightful and challenging questions, gently facilitating honest deconstructive conversations, and hold a commitment to naming the oppressive systems and dominant beliefs and norms at work in our lives.
I work with activists, organizers, educators, artists, students, therapists, healthcare workers, creatives, cycle breakers and change makers on the frontlines in their communities. These sessions are intended for women who are actively working against or want to build courage to fight social, political, and environmental injustice in our communities and Black, Indigenous, Women of Color interested in untangling the ways oppression, racism, ableism, assimilation, and supremacy culture impact how you see yourself and relate to the world.
Other specialties
I identify as
Relational
When people look for therapy, they’re often wondering if something is “wrong” with them or believe they need to be “fixed.” Relational therapists start from a different place. The focus is not about changing your thoughts, beliefs, or perspectives to fit a certain mold. Instead, it’s about noticing how you show up in relationships, exploring the patterns that shape your connections, and creating space to experiment with new ways of being. In relational therapy, the problem isn’t located inside you—healing comes through connection, trust, and authenticity in relationship with another person.
Narrative
Narrative therapy is a form of counseling that separates people from their problems, viewing clients as the experts in their own lives. It encourages individuals to identify their values, challenge destructive life stories, and "re-author" an empowering narrative that reflects their true capabilities.
Multicultural
Multicultural therapy centers healing within the context of cultural identity and affirmation, community, and shared power. It acknowledges that systemic trauma, racial discrimination, and intergenerational wounds deeply impact personal relationships, and provides a safe, validating space to untangle these unique stressors.
