Multiracial Therapists in Culver City, CA
Choosing the right therapist is hard. After you’ve looked at more than a handful of profiles, we all start to blur together. A headshot and a few hundred words can only tell you so much about whether someone is the right therapist for you. I think the best way to figure that out is to have a conversation, so I offer a free consultation where we can explore whether therapy is the best next step and, if so, whether I’m the right person to help. And if we don't think it’s a good fit, I'll do my best to point you toward someone who is.

Are you and your spouse stuck in painful cycles of arguing, shutting down, or feeling emotionally and spiritually distant? Do you long to feel close again and restore the connection you once shared? Many Christian couples deeply value marriage and faith, yet feel discouraged when conflict, betrayal, trust issues, or intimacy struggles create disconnection. Christian individuals may struggle with anxiety or faith concerns, while families with teens face tension and miscommunication. At the core, you want peace, security, and a relationship grounded in God.

A life transition experience can be positive or negative, planned or unexpected. Some transitions happen without warning, and they may be quite dramatic, as in cases of accidents, death, divorce, job loss, or serious illness. Other life transitions come from positive experiences such as getting married, going away to college, starting a new job, moving to a new city. Even though events like these are usually planned and anticipated, they can be just as life-altering as the unexpected events. Whether positive or negative, life transitions cause us to leave behind the familiar and force us to adjust to new ways of living.

Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning adults who can explain their problems intellectually, but still feel stuck repeating the same patterns. They may have done therapy before, gained insight, and still feel anxious, self-critical, depressed, or stuck in relationships, work, and daily life in ways they cannot seem to change.
I help people move beyond intellectual insight toward a deeper understanding of how their brain, personality, emotions, and life history shape the way they function. My approach integrates neuropsychology with depth-oriented psychotherapy to create clarity, direction, and meaningful change.

FAQ - About Multiracial Counseling
Why might mixed race or multiracial identity be important to address in therapy?
Mixed race or multiracial identity can shape how you understand yourself and relate to others around you, so it is natural that this identity may be important to speak about in therapy. If you identify as mixed race, you may find it helpful to speak with a therapist about identity, belonging, racism, cultural disconnection, or feeling pressure to “choose” one part of your background over another. A therapist who understands or shares your mixed race identity may be better able to support conversations about your experiences. A shared background may also strengthen the therapeutic alliance, which refers to the working relationship between you and your therapist and is tied to positive therapy outcomes.
How can a mixed race therapist support couples counseling or family therapy?
Like other therapists, mixed race therapists can support couples and families with a broad range of concerns, including communication challenges, conflict, parenting, life transitions, and relationship stress. However, therapists who personally identify as mixed race may be especially helpful when race, culture, or ethnicity are part of the concerns being discussed, such as when partners come from different cultural backgrounds and are navigating differing personal or community expectations. A mixed race therapist may also help couples and families explore how identity shapes each person’s experience in the relationship. Family members, for instance, may not experience race or culture in the same way, even within the same household. Therapy can offer a space to talk through these differences.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience working with mixed race or multiracial clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, can be a good time to ask about a therapist’s experience working with multiracial clients. You can ask specific questions, such as “Do you have experience working with multiracial clients?” or broader questions, such as “How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?” As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A good therapist should respond with respect, curiosity, and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed or misunderstood, or if you find yourself having to explain your beliefs or cultural context constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of mixed race therapists?
The directory of mixed race therapists includes therapists who have shared their mixed race or multiracial identity in their profiles, as well as therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with mixed race clients, regardless of their own background. Not all therapists choose to disclose this information on their profile, and these individuals may not appear in search results for this reason.
