Psychiatry needs reformation. It is very difficult to find a culturally sensitive provider who understands, in a timely manner. I'm here to help. Gender issues, mass shootings, depression, online learning, trauma, politics, anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, PTSD, relationship issues, and general life stressors... This is a very tough time for all of us, especially marginalized teens and young adults. I provide quality medication management, psychotherapy, and/ holistic care. Currently taking new patients, so reach out for a 15-min free consultation.

Hi there! I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, offering medication management. As a healthcare professional, I believe it’s my responsibility to provide as much education about psychiatric conditions and psychotropic medications to you as I can, to help you make an informed decision about treatment. You know better than anyone else what your experience is and what your goals are. My goal is that we come up with a treatment plan together that is appropriate and doable, whether that includes medications or not. I believe that medications won’t always solve everything. Support is just as important, if not more.

You shouldn't have to struggle to get through the day nor should you have to settle for just feeling "OK". I believe the mind, body, and spirit should work together in harmony so that we may become our best selves, cope well during difficult times, and live the lives we truly deserve. I've found this can be achieved through psychotherapy, collaborating with other providers, good nutrition and sleep hygiene, physical exercise, discovering what brings us joy and in some cases medication management. Ultimately, I believe in a holistic & individualized approach, and if you think we may be a good fit, please reach out!

Culturally Sensitive Psychiatrists

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.
