Hi. Come talk about what matters to you most. Together, we walk. Explore. Meander. Clarify. I love what I do and will help you feel better. I’m a date coach, work with multicultural issues, or if you're struggling with addiction, overcoming trauma, relationships, questions about polyamory, depression or abuse. If life has lost its meaning and you’re missing adventure, intimacy, greater self-expression and passion, let’s go. If you don’t talk about it, it won’t get better. I’m supportive, alternative, warm and kind. You’ll feel comfortable, and challenge thoughts and perceptions preventing you from getting out of your own way.

I am a committed, culturally sensitive therapist who works collaboratively with individuals to identify goals and assist with developing a plan in which to achieve those goals.
I believe we are all capable of positive change, healing, and growth and I enjoy working with individuals who share this mindset. Sometimes we get stuck in life's challenges and would benefit from the compassion and skill of a therapist. I received my Master of Counseling in 2006. Since then, I have worked in a variety of behavioral health settings. The majority of my work has been with teens and adults struggling with behavioral health issues including but not limited to depression, anxiety, trauma, self-harm, and co-occurring disorders.

I support clients living in Arizona, Idaho, and Washington. Often clients seek therapy because they have become stuck. Sometimes life/situations cause a change to happen. We all have personal challenges, have stressful periods, or go through traumatic times. The desire to seek help to explore and process these problems can open the door to positive growth. I believe with the right resources people have the ability to heal.

As a therapist, my mission is to provide a compassionate and non-judgmental relational context so that I can help my clients in the resolution of their profound sense of loneliness and feelings that "no one can understand their pain". Within the therapeutic relationship, I can help my clients in reviewing and correcting maladaptive strategies of self-protection, and in finding ways to feel safe in a world that feels unsafe. I believe therapy can help immensely in resolving emotional self-isolation, and in reconnecting with the resilience, potential, and motivation necessary to work at, and achieve personal aspirations.

How can we find joy in a world full of turmoil: fires, hurricanes, shootings, political upheavals, wars, etc. This adds more stress to our already stressful lives. Sometimes, all we need is to have someone to talk to---someone unbiased and nonjudgmental. Sometimes, we need a little help and it is okay to ask for that help. We can work through the challenges that you face; like, grief and loss, couples' issues, self-esteem, depression, anxiety and trauma, to name a few. All you need to do is pick up the phone and call.

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.
