I have been in the mental health field for over 30 years and am continually impressed by the strength of the human spirit. I am open minded and don't have any preconceptions about an individual or the problems they present with when I meet them at their first visit. Psychiatric services are more difficult to find than ever before while modern day stress has increased demand for quality services. I feel strongly that psychiatric assistance should be easier to find than it is. I also believe that people from all backgrounds, financial circumstances and with varied problems should have equal access to quality mental health care.

"The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence." Thich Nhat Hanh. I have over thirty-five years of delivery of care to a diverse group of patients in various clinical settings ranging from clinics, office practice, and partial hospital settings to inpatient psychiatry. My philosophy is to work collaboratively with the patient and family. I believe strongly in the power of connecting, that no one is defined by their diagnosis or symptoms, and attention must be paid to the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of treatment for lasting recovery.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're weighed down by anxiety, racing thoughts, or feelings of being stuck. You might be struggling with anxious thoughts, feeling like you're constantly worrying about things outside your control. Perhaps you're feeling isolated, misunderstood, or hesitant to seek help because of the stigma surrounding mental health. You want to feel calm, balanced, and empowered but aren't sure how to get there. What you truly need is a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment and find support in managing both the emotional and practical challenges you face.

I am also a clinical faculty member within Yale School of Medicine's Department of Psychiatry. My practice focuses on women's mental health, reproductive psychiatry, and psychodynamic psychotherapy.

Such insights promote emotional relief.

Multicultural Psychiatrists

What type of therapy is multicultural therapy?

Multicultural therapy is not tied to any specific therapy; rather, it is an overarching approach to therapy that aims to acknowledge and address the influence that factors like race, gender identity, and cultural background can have on someone’s life. Multicultural approaches can be applied to CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and others, and can be practiced with individuals, couples, families, or groups.

What can I expect from multicultural therapy?

Multicultural counseling should be tailored to the client’s unique identity and cultural needs. Such approaches often prioritize the building of trust so that the client feels comfortable exploring various aspects of their identity and any challenges caused by mismatches between their identity and the dominant culture. Beyond that, the format and timeline of therapy will be heavily influenced by the therapist’s preferred therapy approach and the specific problems for which the client sought therapy.

Can multicultural therapy help treat trauma?

Yes. Cultural factors such as racial background, gender identity and or sexuality, and immigration or refugee status can influence both whether someone experiences trauma and how they cope afterward. Multicultural approaches to trauma-informed care will be aware of these influences, helping the client recognize how their response to trauma may be shaped by their cultural background and identify coping mechanisms that take their identity into account.

What are the benefits of seeing a multicultural therapist?

Members of minority groups who seek therapy are sometimes frustrated by providers who don’t understand their cultural background or dismiss the ways in which race, gender, or other facets of their identity influence their lived experience. Seeing a multicultural therapist can help these clients feel seen, understood, and able to develop solutions to life challenges that take their upbringing, beliefs, and past experiences into account.
