Supporting individuals and couples in understanding relational patterns, healing from trauma, and exploring sociopolitical impacts on mental health.

You’re looking for therapy that honors the full context of your life, including history, culture, relationships, and the systems around us.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, fearful, and enraged by the world around you. You may want a space in therapy to name these feelings outright, especially when they are directly impacting how you’re functioning day-to-day. Mental health is deeply impacted by social, cultural, and political factors, and therapy can and should acknowledge these realities in the session.

Reach out to get started or to schedule a free consultation!
