Culturally Sensitive Therapists in New York
A main priority of my work is to provide culturally sensitive and competent counseling to clients of all ages and backgrounds.
Reaching out and seeking support takes courage. Therapy should be a place that provides you with the space and safety to truly be yourself. You deserve to be seen, heard, and understood without fear of judgment or criticism. My style is dynamic, collaborative and engaging. Working from a place of empathy and warmth, my goal is to create deep and meaningful connections that facilitate the best possible outcomes for my clients’ learning, growth, and change. Together, we will work to process past experiences, understand patterns of reactions, behaviors, and gain insight to help you create a more empowered and authentic self.

She uses a person-centered model coupled with an eclectic approach to integrate skills from multiple modalities while adapting her interventions to be culturally sensitive.
I believe that every individual has great potential and deserves to live a fulfilling life; I also recognize that difficulties and obstacles are inevitable. My goal for therapy is to create a safe space for my clients to explore how those difficulties and obstacles may affect them — physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually — and to use the therapeutic space to practice bringing forward their strengths so that they can see themselves beyond their problems. When you come to me, you’re not just my client. You’re a fellow human with hopes, dreams, vulnerabilities, strengths, weaknesses and ultimately potential.

Please note that at this time I am currently only accepting requests for supervision for clinicians looking to attain clinical licensure or interested in private supervision. My approach to therapy - A relationship built on trust and empathy is key to healing. I believe in providing a person-centered and non-judgmental therapeutic atmosphere that starts with building rapport. Many parts of our identity contribute to our perceptions and we’ll work together to identify those so you can have a personalized treatment. I believe in a culturally sensitive approach to both assessment and treatment is important.
