Life brings us many challenges, and often times we feel depressed, angry, bitter, confused or even anxious. The beauty of life is that it gives an opportunity to review, reflect and reform our own stories so we can keep pushing through our adversities. No matter what age, race, creed or status, healing comes from the support of someone being able to help you take the very first step to recovery. When we are able to take very first step towards our healing, we find peace, joy, and forgiveness again.

Within themselves, each person has the power and strength to tackle the challenges and difficulties they face. It’s my job, as a clinician, to help them access that power and strength, and I do this by first providing a non-judgmental and positive environment. This allows us to identify the thoughts and perceptions that are influencing their actions, both positive and negative. Real, affirming change can happen when we openly examine the thinking that is holding us back and work to change those thoughts that are no longer servicing our goals. I’m excited to help clients with that self-examination and re-building process.

You’re frustrated… You’re tired… You tend to lash out at those closest to you. Now you feel guilty… and more tired… It’s a cycle. One that I want to help you break. Changes in mood can be influenced by so many things. One way to learn more about what could be contributing is talking to a therapist (maybe me?... ) I enjoy working with those who struggle with anger and irritability. It's normal to feel those things, but I think so many people try to convince themselves they shouldn't so they push the feelings away... which makes it worse in the long run.

I am an empathetic, humanistic, compassion-focused therapist. But more importantly, I am a fellow human desiring to hold space for you, your emotions, your lived experiences, and your story. As hurt occurs within the context of relationship, I believe healing can also be found there as well. Together, we will build a strong and safe therapeutic relationship where you can find solace and clarity. You'll learn to get comfortable with your emotions, explore limiting beliefs you've picked up along the way, and identify unhelpful patterns that keep you from elevating your life.

My goal is to help individuals, couples, and families overcome life’s obstacles. I believe individuals possess the resiliency to discover their strengths with guidance in therapy. Through therapy one can elicit strengths to bring about hope, balance, and change in life. I utilize a more collaborative approach to therapy including Collaborative, Narrative, Solution - Focused, and Strategic Family Therapy. However, there is not one theory that fits all challenges. The client is the expert on their life; therefore, as the therapist, collaboration is key to unlocking their potential.

Living life on life’s terms with our own unique experiences can bring on different levels of stress at any given time. If it has come to a point where the quality of your relationships, school and/or work performance has suffered or declined it might be time to get some outside help. Sometimes it’s a matter of not understanding how our past experiences have affected us, not being able to define what ‘safe’ is, or what a healthy relationship even looks like. This can certainly contribute to our unhealthy habits and behaviors and leave us feeling hopeless and helpless.

I have a passion for working with couples, individuals and first responders through a systemic lens. By counseling from a systemic perspective, I can more easily identify what systems (work, school, home life, marriage, etc.) are negatively affecting you while also uncovering unhealthy, ingrained family patterns and beliefs that may keep you emotionally reactive, anxious, and attached. A lot of families and couples get nervous to come in because they are afraid of being judged or exposed, but it is actually more helpful so that I can properly observe, intervene, challenge and mediate in order to help you grow closer to one another.

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.
