Clients come to me looking for a therapist who is authentic, hopeful, and sees them as a whole person, not just what they have been through. Sessions with me feel like a warm and collaborative conversation with someone you trust. I provide both shorter term therapy that is focused on recent painful or traumatic events, as well as longer term therapy where we get to the root of issues. I have specialized training in treating recent traumatic events through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and also am trained to treat OCD with ICBT (Inference Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).

My greatest hope is that people start investing in themselves and realize that they are important and worth the time in fostering strength, confidence and independence. Considering therapy can be a difficult choice and entering therapy can feel scary and vulnerable. I have faith in people in that if they take the first step towards emotional healing they will be able to heal. My approach is more holistic, client centered and cognitive behavioral. I feel that in a warm, trusting, collaborative and inviting environment people can feel more at ease in talking about their life and problems they want to overcome.

If you are reading this, chances are you're feeling stuck and you're looking for some guidance. I offer a strengths-based, client-centered approach to helping people figure out what's not working, and find their own unique solutions to feeling better. Some clients are interested in processing how past experiences are still affecting them. Some are simply looking for solutions to handle their current problems. In sessions driven by your own unique needs, I guide clients to move beyond their "stuck" place and feel more in control of their emotional lives.

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.
