My ideal client is someone who is ready for new results. I love helping people create what is really important for their life, and I am committed to being someone who can push them to have it. The most successful couples I work with have struggled with infidelity, considered divorce, or lost the fireworks in their marriage. The most successful individuals I work with have struggled with anxiety, addiction, intimacy issues, death/loss, or finding a purpose. All of my clients who succeed are open to exploring new ideas and hungry for change. Our conversations are action-oriented and results driven. Most of our sessions are fun.

Life is not always easy to manage. At times we sail through rough waters with ease. Other times we get "stuck". We have trouble navigating our way through the fog. We feel something is "wrong". We might be telling other people that we are fine but inside we know we are not. We put on a false face just to get by. We need help but it isn't always easy to reach out. I am here to help. Whatever it is that you face, we can face it together in a collaborative manner. I offer a healing presence, openminded-ness and a non-judgmental safe space for you to find answers-strengths, self acceptance, vitality and peace. I welcome you!

In our hectic world, life can often feel difficult... You may feel worried and have difficulty quieting your mind, perhaps feeling like it's all you can do to get out of bed each day. Maybe you worry about your weight and obsess about food (what you want to eat but believe you shouldn’t), overeating, dieting, starving, or purging, tormented and consumed by self criticism and a harsh inner critic.... You're ready for a change but aren't sure where to start or feel too worn down to try something new. You want to be free from anxious, worried thoughts. You want to feel more alive and engaged in life and silence your harsh inner critic.

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.
