Life can be overwhelming at times for all of us. I recognize the strength that it can take to identify that and then ask for help. I appreciate the courage and strength it takes to be vulnerable with others, especially someone new. I welcome clients to my office by letting them set the pace for therapy. As a therapist, I am here to support and to guide, not to force the process. So come and have a seat with me and let us figure out what you need together.

Planning a family can be a challenging time for many. In spite of reading all the books, scanning the internet and asking all the questions, you may find it is not what you expected and your mental health can shift and change. I can support you through this delicate period. My work with young children and their caregivers is about building a safe, trusting relationship. Our earliest relationships provide the foundation for all future relationships. I work with parents/expecting parents, indvidually or with their young child. My work with young children indvidually is play based and skill buidling.

Loss is universal to all of us. When we grieve someone we have lost to death it is usually profound and can create a myriad of emotions (sadness, anger, guilt, relief, etc.) There are other losses in life: divorce, job loss, a geographical move away from home or what is familiar to us, an illness (life threatening or chronic). We can feel adrift and unsettled. Sometimes the very essence of who we thought we were, our very identity is shattered. Sharing your loss with someone who has many years of experience can help in establishing a new sense of self. If you are experiencing loss, please call Peninsula Therapy.

Everyone has a story to tell. Our experiences are what make us unique. Sometimes those experiences can be absolutely wonderful, but sometimes they can unexpectedly flip our world upside down and leave us feeling hopeless, lost, or alone. We may not be able to change the experiences from our past, however, through our work together, we can make sure that they do not define our future. I’m here to listen without judgement, offer support, and encourage self reflection. I provide a safe space to confront whatever it is that may be holding you back from living your life to the fullest.

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.
