I offer somatic work, internal family systems, and guided imagery from a culturally sensitive lens.
I believe talk therapy can get us far, but somatic work can get us further- allowing us to reclaim our body’s inherent resiliency and ability to regulate. Maybe you have done a lot of beautiful self-work but are ready for deeper nervous system regulation. You might feel ready to move beyond recovery and into more ease and joy. You may have a part that feels stuck, but an even bigger one that wants to heal. Perhaps you're ready for deeper spiritual and identity work. I work best with people who are ready to get out of their head and into the body.

I integrate culturally sensitive techniques while integrating systemic, postmodern, humanistic therapy modalities, including Bowen, Gottman and Attachment theor.
Are you feeling the weight of productivity culture, constantly balancing the demands of work, relationships, and self-care? Or perhaps, you and your partner are facing challenges that seem too complex to navigate alone—communication breakdowns, trust issues, or the stress of life transitions. These struggles are real, and they deserve to be met with a thoughtful, high-touch approach that honors your experiences, while fostering healing and connection.

My approach to counseling uses a person-centered perspective with a focus on hope, strength, and empowerment. I also use an integrative approach of mindfulness, relaxation, art, acceptance and commitment therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy when working with people. I believe that all people have the capacity to grow and move forward. They just need some additional support and a person to walk with them. And that is where I come in.

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.
