In Response to COVID-19 and Anti-Racism:

We have entered unprecedented times. With the emergence of COVID-19 and the Movement for Black Lives, almost all of our relationships have changed and we are being pushed to meet this moment in new and creative ways. It is also a collective trauma event that is pushing us to the edges of our capacity as we cycle through trust and panic, rest and rage. There is much work to be done, much healing that must take place as we move through the opening of the veil and into more equitable and just times. We cannot do this work alone. I’m feeling it and perhaps you are too.

In response to this global pandemic and the social restructuring that we are all experiencing and co-creating, I have moved all of my client work online for the foreseeable future. While it is less than ideal to provide therapeutic counsel over distance, I feel confident that even in this format, the work remains potent, essential, and accessible.

In an effort to provide mutual aid mental health services, I have expanded my sliding scale from $0 – $150/hour. If you are able to pay above the base hourly rate of $100/hour, your contribution will enable me to take on additional clients who cannot afford to pay. You may also directly sponsor someone for support. For more information or to set up an appointment, please contact me directly.

Enjoy a big breath. Take a look around. Get InTouch.
