Do you want more for yourself, but cant quite picture what that looks like? Perhaps you know exactly what changes you'd like to see? Are you ready? As a skilled therapist, I have many tools to assist others in clearly identifying, and meeting, their goals. However, the most valuable tool in this process is us: our relationship. Being able to feel connected, be yourself, and feel seen is hugely healing in itself. I am flexible in my approach, adapting my skills to your needs. I will help you clearly identify what gives you meaning and purpose, while cultivating your strengths to live in alignment with your values.

I strive to be a compassionate presence to allow your story to unfold and a supportive presence to help resolve whatever concerns or struggles you may have. I enjoy working with clients from many different cultures, backgrounds and stages of life.

I apply a culturally sensitive integrated approach using evidence-based interventions tailored to fit your needs.
Are you interested in living more authentically and fostering deeper connections with yourself and others? The most important relationship you have is with yourself. This affects other aspects of your life- your health and wellness, how you relate to others, and how you are performing at school or work. Life's struggles aren't linear and can be unpredictable, oftentimes catching us off guard. If unprepared for the challenges faced, they can leave us feeling overwhelmed and less connected with ourselves and others. I most enjoy working with those seeking awareness and inner balance.

I use culturally sensitive strategies and appropriate modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family systems to address various issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, parenting, and domestic violence.
Often, we rely on our natural supports for guidance however soon we realize, it is not helpful, perhaps because they say what they think we want to hear, and that’s not beneficial. I believe that for change to occur we must gain insight and self-awareness into the problem and that the therapeutic relationship between a client and therapist is essential. Despite the adversity you have encountered you deserve to live your best life and experience the best version of you. My role is to implement the most appropriate strategies and interventions and use my 17 years of experience in community mental health to support and guide you.

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.
