I work with clients to help them make important changes or to overcome difficult life circumstances and obstacles. My desire is to support my clients, however, I also challenge them to foster growth. I have a energetic and transparent style that I hope feels relatable and warm. This is particularly important for clients who are: new to therapy, struggling with opening up, or are trying to overcome the negative stigma around seeking support. I have expertise in the areas of relational issues, stress, crisis intervention, depression, and anxiety. One of my specialties is working with active military service members and veterans.

Scrolling through Psychology Today isn't the same as visiting your favorite social media platform! In fact, I'd venture to say that visiting this website was extremely intentional and you are one step closer to the divine intervention you seek.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. Often, it can be hard to pinpoint exactly what is wrong or how to improve it. You may have feelings of isolation, sadness, or anxiety that come up when you least expect it. You feel like you need a break, but demands call for you to work harder, do better, and be stronger. Friends and family may offer advice, but deep down you think they just don’t understand.

Culturally Sensitive Therapists

How does culturally sensitive therapy work?

A culturally sensitive therapist will tailor their approach to therapy based on the individual client’s background. This may include changing their style of interaction (asking open-ended questions vs. being the “expert” voice), their affect (seeming warm or “neutral”), how much personal information they disclose about themselves, and more. It’s also important for a culturally sensitive therapist to acknowledge larger societal forces that may impact their client due to the client’s background.

How effective is culturally sensitive therapy?

Some professionals have expressed concern about highlighting cultural differences in therapy, suggesting that it might promote stereotypes and harm the therapeutic bond; however, many experts agree that cultural sensitivity tends to strengthen the connection between therapist and client and help clients feel heard and understood. A culturally sensitive approach to therapy can be especially helpful for those not in the cultural majority, especially when combined with proven therapies like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

What are the limitations of a culturally sensitive approach to therapy?

While being culturally sensitive is generally a valuable skill to have, a therapist cannot treat every client from a similar background the same way. Each client is an individual with their own values, personal preferences, and life experiences that will need to be explored during therapy. In addition, it’s rare for a therapist and client to have identical backgrounds, so there may be some cross-cultural differences to navigate during therapy, but a culturally sensitive therapist can do so with empathy and respect.

Can culturally sensitive therapy be done online?

Yes, online therapy using a culturally sensitive approach can be beneficial. Therapy can sometimes be difficult to access for clients from diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic standing. The array of mental health support available through the internet makes it possible for clients to find a good therapist match regardless of where they live.
