As a feminist and multicultural therapist, I am also sensitive to the ways oppression/marginalization affect wellbeing. I welcome clients from all identities, and around half my caseload are people of color.

Transitions are hard and life is full of them. While change may come with joy, so many other feelings surround it as well: sadness, fear, anxiety, exhaustion. Maybe you don’t know how to handle or express these new feelings. Maybe you’ve felt this way for a long time and need support. You may be curious about why you do the things you do, and why you are the way you are. You may be frustrated that what once worked for you isn’t working in this season, and you don’t know what to do next. When you look at your life or the world at large, you might be feeling stuck, sick, sad, or helpless and may be wondering “where do I go from here?”
