Hello and welcome. My name's Preston and I am a queer therapist of color. In my work with clients, my top priority is fostering a safe, vibrant connection with clients as I help them explore, learn, and heal. I take a systems perspective, always striving to understand both individuals and their place within broader societal/cultural structures.

I work with folks grappling with depression, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. I specialize in serving LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, offering particular support for those recovering from religious trauma and conversion therapy. I also support those looking to understand and integrate psychedelic and other extra-ordinary experiences.

I also provide relationship therapy for clients, rooted in a sex-positive, poly-affirming frame. Based in Oakland, I extend my services throughout California via telehealth. If you're considering embarking on a therapeutic journey, I'd be delighted to arrange a complimentary consultation to explore the potential working together.

I count myself fortunate to have Preston as a colleague. His depth & compassion truly make him stand out as a therapist and a person. His approach is so welcoming, thoughtful and empathetic. He provides a truly unique and special approach to his practice.

Preston excels at creating a safe container for individuals to explore their relationship with themselves. Their warm and validating demeanor allows for those with minority identities to drop into their experience and feel seen.

Preston's deep presence, warmth and care are palpable. He is the true balance of wisdom, intuition and skill. His commitment to bringing his service to the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities are a gift to the communities themselves and to the field at large.

Preston is warm, grounded and present. You immediately feel at ease when you're with him, and his ability to listen deeply and help you see things from various angles is invaluable. I always feel calmer and clearer after seeing him.
