FAQ
A typical therapy session is about 50 - 60 minutes, but most folks I work with value meeting for 90 minutes or 2 hours at a time to settle into discussing current challenges, experiences, and goals.
Rates:
Individuals: 50 minutes - 2 hours ($175 - $350)
Couples: 50 minutes - 2 hours ($200 - $400)
I often work with folks for up to a year. However, I know that maintaining a healthy and supportive relationship with a therapist can be one of the most life-affirming experiences for many folks.
That said, I check in with folks on their accomplished goals every 4 months, explore if new goals should be added, and collaborate with individuals and couples if ending our work after 1 year or working together beyond 1 year aligns with their lifestyle.
First, sign up for a 15-minute free consultation with me. We will discuss your needs and goals and I will share what working with a race and relationships therapist is all about.
If it feels like a good fit, each person or couple will complete a set of forms, and plan our first session and beyond.
Therapy at the intersection of race and relationships means that folks who work with me learn how our intergenerational our histories and relationship patterns impact their current communication & connection challenges.
And once we know more about our individual identities and community narratives, we can relate flexibly, grow steadily, and communicate thoughtfully with our partners, family, & peers.
Everyone should be able to connect to their racial histories, relational patterns, and community truths with the learning styles that make them feel affirmed and heard.
Through multifaceted services and materials, anyone can connect to the truth of their experiences, identities, stories, and body-mind connection.
I use a Decolonizing, Black Feminist, Relational, and Anti-Oppressive lens.
Anti-Oppressive - Oppression exists in our society. Acknowledging it and exploring ways to lessen its impact on an individual, institutional, and systemic level with folks is a must.
Black Feminist - Black womxn are inherently valuable. The mental and physical liberation of Black womxn can and will lead to the liberation of all folks experiencing marginalization.
Decolonizing - Colonization happened and we live in the aftermath of its violence, power hoarding, cultural erasure, and dehumanizing practices. Grounding folks in this truth leads to greater curiosity, critical thinking, and flexibility.
Relational - Our relationships shape who we are, what we think, and how we live. Building healthy relationships will lead to healthy and restored individuals.
Through Brainspotting, Polyvagal Theory, & Embodiment Practices
Brainspotting, created by David Grand, is a focused mindfulness technique that pinpoints, processes, and releases core Brain-body sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation, and other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting treats traumatic experiences and events, improves artistic and sports performances, and increases access to positive goals and dreams in one's life.
Polyvagel Theory, created by Stephen Porges and made clinically practical by Debra Dana, is about understanding our body’s nervous system and exploring how certain experiences shape how our nervous system responds to safety, trauma, and social connection.
Embodiment Practices, grounded in Prentis Hemphill's Embodiment Basics and Resmaa Menakem's Somatic Abolitionism work, are practices that connect our body and body responses to our individual and communal experiences and global histories to heal ourselves, our body-to-body interactions, and the larger world.
Why do you have a newsletter, course, podcast, card game, and therapy services all related to race and relationships?
I believe that everyone should have access to information in a way that appeals to their styles of learning.
With multiple opportunities to learn, everyone can become an expert in their own identities, stories, body responses, and minds.
