Life can be challenging at times. Fortunately, you don’t have to struggle alone. It is often helpful to speak with an objective, compassionate, caring therapist who can help you increase your self-awareness and help you to see things from other perspectives. I believe that asking for help is a sign of strength. It’s the first step towards taking control of your life and making the changes needed to improve your emotional health and quality of life. Whether you’re feeling anxious, depressed, or confused, I can help you identify and clarify your thoughts and feelings and process them.

Are you ready for life to be different? To be able to see a brighter path, one in which you are more accepting of yourself, healing, learning, and growing towards the life that you envision? Perhaps you are facing a life transition, a difficult phase of parenting, communication concerns in your relationship, or family conflicts. Maybe your child is struggling with emotional, behavioral, or academic functioning. A safe, warm, empathetic space for exploring your life challenges, identifying goals specific for you and/or your family, and building upon your strengths can bring you closer to the life you want, the life you deserve.

I understand that many people suffer from anxiety and depression. When we ignore these issues it can have a negative impact on our daily lives. It can affect our personal relationships, the ability to deal with our work environment and prevent us from feeling good about ourselves. Nobody wants to experience this but many of us do and we often don't know how to deal with these feelings. If you're willing to take the first step and seek guidance there is a way to become better at navigating these issues. Sometimes all you need is someone to help show you the path to a better quality life.

Being human means that we sometimes find ourselves struggling with conflicting and difficult emotions. This is often our experience when faced with challenging issues such as depression, anxiety, loss, life transitions, or difficulty in relationships. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with adults and couples using a compassionate and non-judgmental approach. My style in working with clients is relational and developmental. My work is grounded in Attachment Theory which has taught us over several decades of research that as humans, both children and adults, we are wired for emotional connection with others.

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.
