Having lived and worked in the Middle East, USA and South Africa I have had the privilege of a multicultural background.
There are many reasons to feel overwhelmed by emotional pain and distress. You may be overwhelmed with ongoing conflict in relationships, intimacy issues, feeling unloved and misunderstood, career or children, your marriage, infidelity, addiction or just feeling hopeless. Perhaps you have stopped dreaming? When we are not being heard or understood it can be very difficult to move forward. This is your opportunity to reach out and find a safe space to talk and be heard. Together we will navigate coping skills and new ways of moving forward.

My clinical work is focused on eating disorders, gender identity, LGBTQQ+ concerns, multicultural counseling, survivors of sexualized violence and trauma. I work with clients through a social justice and holistic health lens that emphasizes the inseparable connection between our mind, body, and environment.

I meet with clients in person & online (secure Telehealth), specializing in multicultural, faith-based, and people of color.
You can’t believe your relationship has gotten this cold. Conversations turn into arguments filled with personal shots, past issues, and defensiveness. It's hard to communicate without feeling judged. You’ve tried countless strategies to get back on track, but nothing works consistently. This leaves you feeling alone, frustrated, conflicted, and desperate. Sleepless nights are filled with thoughts that your relationship might end if things don’t change now.

I also take pride in having a multicultural perspective and being willing to learn about one’s culture and how it influences them.
The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination. As a clinician, it is my goal to help guide you in the right direction of your personal good life. While providing a secure, trustworthy environment for you, together we will work towards the process of building the best version of yourself. While I primarily use CBT in combination with Psychodynamic Theory, my approach is more importantly based on a foundation of empathy, compassion, and respect. I will work collaboratively with you to identify your unique needs and goals, and tailor my interventions to best suit your individual needs.

I'm currently accepting new clients for virtual or in-person care. I provide individual therapy for women and gender non-binary clients. My clients struggle with body image, relationship problems, or oftentimes a general sense of not feeling "good enough." Sometimes this shows up as anxiety in a romantic partnership, at work, or in the way they view their bodies.

Hi y'all, I'm Malanna, rhymes with Madonna! I’m quite the unorthodox therapist, so I’ve been told, because I approach mental health with the same sincerity that we take with our physical health. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for the people who sit in front of me and trust me with their vulnerability. I'm big on cooperation; pairing your self-insights with my expertise. I'll do my best to help you highlight all of your hidden strengths, buried wins, and natural gifts that life can make us lose sight of. I currently offer telehealth services but I can guarantee it’ll be just as good as seeing me in person!

You're a young adult who's tired of feeling so stressed, overwhelmed, and drained. You’re fed up with pretending everything is ok, when it’s not.

You might have been considering therapy for a while but now you’re ready. Ready to understand why you feel the way that you do. Ready to spend less energy on your thoughts and feelings so you have more energy to put into your life and yourself. Most of all, you’re ready to get unstuck, decide what to do, and feel happier with yourself and your life.

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.
