The work is never complete

At our practice, we believe that healing and growth happen within the context of authentic, inclusive relationships. As therapists who specialize in relationships, we understand that the dynamics of power, privilege, identity, and systemic oppression inevitably shape our clients' lives and our work together.

Because our team is predominantly white, it is important to share that we are deeply committed to the lifelong work of dismantling racism and white supremacy—both within ourselves and within the systems we are part of. We embrace diversity in all its forms, including race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, religion, and socioeconomic background. We stand for equity and inclusion, and we strive to make our practice a space where every client and every therapist feels seen, valued, and safe.

We know that intention is not enough. Our commitment is to ongoing learning, humility, accountability, and action. We regularly engage in reflection and education around power, privilege, and cultural responsiveness. Our goal is for all who walk through our doors to witness our dedication to this work—not just in words, but in how we show up, how we listen, and how we care.
