I incorporate mindfulness based strategies and I have extensive experience in multicultural counseling as well as sex therapy, including kink, consensual non-monogamy and polyamory awareness.
You may be experiencing a period of mental unrest and uncertainty. When you have the space and willingness to reflect on past traumas and experiences to understand their impact on your current circumstances, you gain a new awareness that often leads to powerful insights. As a licensed clinical psychologist who understands the need for inner healing first, it is my goal to support you in identifying core sources of pain, confusion, fear, and stress in order to get to the root cause of the issue. By working with you to form a deeper sense of clarity, I am able to guide you in taking the next steps along your journey of self discovery

I have over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with a diverse set of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, family conflict, school problems, eating disorders, gender and sexuality issues, multicultural and acculturation issues, among others.
Psychotherapy allows you to establish a healing relationship in which you can become aware of your strengths and challenges in a safe space to recognize the changes you want to make in your life and appreciate the qualities that are worth holding onto. Quite simply, it is a process of taking ownership of your own life. To help you do so, I provide a respectful, collaborative, and kind listening space. For me, it is most important that you feel that you are the expert in your life. I have found that this type of experience helps my clients enjoy a better quality of life and experience relief from distress.

My multicultural background and personal experiences allow me to understand the challenges bridging cultural and language gaps.
What do you want right now? Are you searching for something that keeps slipping away? Are you feeling stuck, sad, anxious or scared? Psychotherapy can help you discover what you may not see about yourself and your behavior. In my practice I work with people who are seeking change, self-understanding and greater fulfillment in their lives. Psychotherapy can be instrumental to help you establish better relationships, process conflict and deal with questions of self-worth. With warmth and dedicated attention I strive to be respectful, open and curious. I create a space where people can explore their internal world and speak freely.

Multicultural Therapists

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.
