Rather than sitting in an office, my sessions are most often outside with the inclusion of horses, mini donkeys, and mini goats. Engaging while outdoors provides opportunity for experiential growth and engaging in healing while using the sights, sounds, and yes scents of nature to help ground and center during session. Sessions often include working on healing from trauma, managing and decreasing a variety of symptoms like, depression, anxiety, frustration tolerance, relationship conflict, and attentional challenges.

Women constantly struggle trying to meet the demands of society. Whether married or single, child-free or have a full household, it feels like a never-ending list of “to-dos”. Waking up to a flurry of thoughts, running moment to moment attempting to be present in your life while constantly jumping to the next thing … it’s a race of survival at times. How is it that all the other women around you seem like they’ve got it together? Well, they don’t.

I'm so glad you're looking for help. It's scary to search this giant database and try to decide who to work with based off of some pictures on a screen, and I know it can be overwhelming. My approach as a therapist is to hold space for those difficult feelings and let you experience them fully, in a safe way. I utilize a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, client-centered lens in my approach to treatment, and I always want to meet clients where they are at.

Our lives are empty without hope, but with it, it has the power to pull us through difficult times and it's often discovered in unexpected places. From time to time we find ourselves placing hope in the wrong people, situations, negative thinking, or in material things.

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.
