My Work

Hello and Welcome.

My name is Preston and I am a queer therapist of color. 

My first priority as a therapist is always to establish a safe and vibrant relationship with clients, believing deeply that authentic human connection is one of the greatest catalysts for healing and change. I also take a systems approach to the work I do with clients, seeking to understand each individual’s role within larger social and systemic constructs. I bring a social justice lens to working with clients, understanding that whether someone is part of a marginalized group or part of the dominant culture, we can all become forced into roles that limit the full and authentic expression of our humanity. Conforming to the roles and expectations placed upon us can lead to chronic stress, depression, anxiety, and isolation. They impact our relationships, our work, and our confidence. I work with clients in exploring why they feel and experience what they do. I help them integrate their internal and external lives into a more authentic reality and I use mindfulness and somatic techniques to help them feel more connected, present, and liberated. 

​

I support a wide range of clients who find themselves working through depression, anxiety, relationship stress, grief, and difficult transitions. I have particular interest in working with folks who identify as LGBTQ+ and BIPOC; those who have experienced religious trauma; survivors of conversion therapy; folks who are looking for support in psychedelic integration or preparation; and men’s issues. I also provide relationship therapy for couples and polycules from a sex positive, poly-affirming perspective. 

​

I am based in the Bay Area and currently provide telehealth services to clients throughout California.

If you think we might be a good fit to work together, I’d be happy to schedule a free consultation to explore this possibility.
