What is therapy? Can that answer be the same for every person? My belief is that therapy is not a one size fits all process. It’s a journey that has many twists and turns, and can vary from person to situation. It is my honor as a psychotherapist to be on that journey with my clients, to help guide them towards their goals and most importantly uncovering their purpose for it. Seeing personal growth and therapeutic success for a client makes it all worth it and reminds me of my purpose in the mental health field.

Taking the first step to attend therapy can be nerve wrecking and intimidating but can also demonstrate great insight and self-empowerment. My belief and intention in providing therapy is to collaboratively work with individuals to meet their unique needs and to develop a healthy and positive sense of self in order to accomplish personal goals. I also believe the therapeutic process is most effective when a strong therapeutic relationship is established; therefore, I provide an empathic, supportive, open, direct, and nonjudgmental environment with some humor mixed in when appropriate.

You may not want therapy because you are gay, but you likely want a therapist who is not only affirming but knowledgeable. We understand the special issues of LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and families, and we provide sex therapy as well.

I believe that life is too short to be anything other than your best self. Do you ever find yourself feeling overwhelmed, messy, frustrated, and like you are always focused on the worst-case-scenario? Maybe you are the person everyone else turns to for help but inside feel like you need help most of all. Maybe you don't know what you need but know that something is missing. Therapy can help you untangle some of the mess, shift your perspectives, and help you to figure out what you need to help you to live a more fulfilled life.

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.
