Therapy for women of color seeking support for anxiety, trauma, or race related stressors.
Welcome
I’m April.
I believe the therapeutic process is more effective when a person is able to show up as their authentic self:
physically, emotionally, and verbally.
I also empathize with the fact unique stressors come with navigating the world as a woman of color, and discussing this may not always feel safe.
Due to this, I strive to curate a space where women of color feel secure and supported.
I approach therapy with you as the expert, using models that incorporate racial identity, reframing unhelpful narratives, and focus on improving your ability to positively cope with stressors.
Beginning therapy can be scary, and finding the right therapist even harder. Feel free to schedule a consultation to learn more about my approach, and see if am the right therapist for your needs.
Services
I specialize in individual & group psychotherapy for Black women and women of color
ages 18 and older.
I provide Telehealth therapy services to Oregon residents.
I accept Oregon Health Plan and Self- pay.
Process
Seeking support can be difficult. To be here shows motivation, and belief in your capacity to make the changes you desire. As you take a step forward in your healing journey, here is what you can expect.
20- min consult
This is a free video call, where we can connect, discuss concerns, and determine if I’m the appropriate fit for your needs.
Intake Assessment
During our initial intake, I gather history, we discuss current symptoms motivating you to seek therapy, and collaborate to create goals that feel meaningful to you.
Individual sessions
In these sessions, we’ll process current / past experiences, work on goals, and learn techniques for coping with life stressors.
“For me, becoming isn’t about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self. The journey doesn’t end.””
