I also aim to provide treatment that is culturally sensitive and considers your background, lifestyle, and values.
Do your emotions overwhelm you? Do they get away from you and lead to behaviors that affect your relationships, career and/or sense of self? Has it been more difficult than usual to manage your worry thoughts or your mood? It can be difficult to build the life you want when strong emotions get in the way. While it might not seem possible now, you CAN rein them in and I’d like to show you how.

As your therapist, I aim to create an open, safe, and supportive environment that will allow you to feel seen and heard. Every individual has their own unique life experiences so there is no room for a one-size-fits-all approach.

My one goal is to help you live an authentically joyful and fulfilling life. Anxiety and depression might be reasons for considering therapy but we often ignore or fail to recognize experiences of trauma. Unresolved trauma results in emotions and bodily feelings that keep you "stuck" in your life. Personal tragedies can cause trauma but trauma is also the cumulative result of every day stressors, such as COVID, relationship issues, employment, FOMO, and social media use. As a result, we may then experience negative emotional states that cause us to get pulled into unproductive and even harmful relationships and social situations.

I specialize in helping couples, families, and individuals improve the relationships in their lives. Working from a relational approach, I believe that no one person is responsible for the dynamic in a relationship, decreasing any sense of shame in therapy. I work with many couples seeking to improve trust and communication, navigating infidelity, seeking to build intimacy, or navigating co-parenting. I also work with many families with adult children who are seeking to improve their relationships. Additionally, many women come to me for support navigating fertility struggles, motherhood, and friendships.

I love it when people figure out how to feel better. When they master harnessing their emotions, and their lives change and shift in better ways. I get excited when my clients discover that they can master a problem and it encourages them to continue to work on their self growth. And when they recognize that they have capabilities and strengths that they have been overlooking. Then, they see how they can use their strengths to improve their relationships, they recognize and grow their resilience, and they discover that they can solve their own problems almost all of the time.

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.
