I believe that everyone has the ability to lead a satisfying and productive life, and that it's never too late to start. We all also have the capacity to get "stuck" in unproductive situations or relationships. The key ingredients for a successful outcome in therapy are the individual's, couple's, or family's readiness for change, and the safe, supportive, collaborative relationship we develop. My deepest interest lies in helping clients recognize their own needs, goals, strengths, under-utilized talents, and decision-making capacity. With the clarity they obtain, I can help them take some necessary steps to improve their lives.

Being with other humans can be so uncomfortable! When we're faced with social opportunities, we might want to run or hide. Maybe we'll avoid plans, say "sorry" all the time, or go quiet in conversations. When we act like this, our bodies might do strange things, too. We might feel lightheaded, numb, or nauseous. Our voices may tremble, and our skin might break out in sweats - or worse. Sometimes, we'll have brutal headaches or stomach aches before an interaction even begins. Afterwards, we might ruminate about what we said or did, and then try to drown out our thoughts with bad habits. It’s a tiresome way to live…

Apply a culturally sensitive, person-centered and trauma informed approach.
Discussing our feelings can unfortunately be discouraged by our family, culture or community. This makes it very challenging to seek out guidance during difficult times in our lives. As a therapist, I partner with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed with society, employment, family, relationships or themselves. For those who have attempted to work things out on their own but realize they can use additional guidance, therapy is a healthy option. Regardless of your specific situation stress, anxiety, and depression are natural feelings that hurt. Let's find your inner strength to both start and continue the healing process.

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.
