My Approach to Therapy

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker offering online trauma and grief therapy across Oklahoma. I work with adults exploring identity, spirituality, and alternative lifestyles, including clients who are LGBTQIA+, kink allied, in open or non-monogamous relationships, or carrying any part of themselves that has felt unseen elsewhere. You may be tired of explaining yourself. Tired of editing your story to make other people comfortable. Tired of carrying grief or trauma that no one around you seems to understand. You do not have to do that here. My practice is guided by the principle of Sankofa, which means "to go back and fetch it." It represents the courage to look back on our lives, honor where we have been, and carry the wisdom of those experiences forward into our growth. Healing is not about returning to who we were. It is about allowing ourselves to grow into someone new. Every part of your story matters, including the pain. I will be your guide and a witness, holding space as you heal from the past and rediscover your strength, meaning, and voice. If you are wondering whether we might be a fit, reach out. A consultation costs nothing and tells you a lot.

My Practice & Services

I work with adults across Oklahoma through secure video sessions, which makes therapy accessible whether you are in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Lawton, or anywhere in between. No commute, no waiting room, just you and the space we build together. I have daytime availability. Read more about our ENM, polyamory, and non-monogamy affirming therapy services at https:www.alatherapycollective.comenm-therapy. My practice is part of Ala Therapy Collective, a flock of clinicians rooted in affirming, inclusive care. We welcome clients who are LGBTQIA+, kink allied, in open or non-monogamous relationships, exploring spirituality, or carrying any part of their identity that has felt unseen elsewhere. You do not have to explain or defend who you are to be in this room. Learn more about me and book a free consultation at https:www.alatherapycollective.comdemetria-bonds. Most of my work centers on trauma, grief, and the long process of becoming. I draw from trauma focused approaches and meet each person where they are, at the pace their nervous system can hold. There is no script. There is your story, and there is the work of carrying it forward. Ala Therapy Collective is in network with most major insurance plans, and a sliding scale is available starting at $125 per session for clients who need it. If you are wondering whether we might be a fit, reach out.

My Guiding Ethical Principles

I practice as part of Ala Therapy Collective, a flock of clinicians who believe therapy should feel like a collective sigh of relief. We are unapologetically progressive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and neurodivergent friendly. We are clinicians, humans, and fellow weird little birds doing serious work without pretending to be robots. You are welcome here.
