My treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems Theory and mindfulness with a culturally sensitive approach.
Have you been feeling stuck with your negative emotions? Do you still feel sadness and emotional pain after years of treatment? Does it seem that no one understands your problems and that you feel “alone”? There is no simple formula to solve unwanted and unresolved emotions. I work with chronic anxiety and trauma, including generational trauma. In my practice, I emphasize the mind and body connection and incorporate Eastern philosophy to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment.

Hello! My name is Angela, and I want to thank you for prioritizing your mental health and wellness. I enjoy working with people who need support in managing their anxiety and depression, healing trauma and relationship issues, and accepting themselves fully. We live in a world that constantly tells us we are not enough, and I understand how disheartening that can be. My power lies in my ability to listen to others with a non-judgmental ear as they discuss their struggles and hardships. It is rewarding to be able to serve others in this way.

Before you can even grab your coffee the intrusive thoughts and feelings flood in. The need to do compulsions is on repeat in your mind through out the day. Other people seem connected to their life, moving through it naturally and freely..... You want that too. I hear you! I work with women to help them let go of the doubt & the need for certainty and to find peace & contentment in their life. I want you to learn how to stop answering the "what if..." questions and lean into your values-filled life instead!

Anxiety is a part of being human, but when chronic worry, panic attacks, unwanted and intrusive repetitive thoughts, behaviors and compulsions take over, you may need new strategies and professional support. For over 28 years, I have worked with people of all ages who experience these symptoms, as well as those with ADHD, compulsive eating, neurodiversity, perfectionism and low self esteem. I offer a practical approach to recovering from compulsive and binge eating & managing symptoms of anxiety, OCD and ADHD. I partner with you to offer both a path to developing insight as well as tools for the behavioral changes you envision.

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.
