Welcome! I have worked in the behavioral health field for over a decade within home, community and school based settings. I provide a comfortable space for adults to express their thoughts and feelings. Additionally, I love working with children and adolescents using creative approaches to facilitate the therapy process like arts and crafts, and games. Therapy can help children learn to cope with life challenges, and teach children how to express themselves in a positive way. For adolescents, therapy can be a safe place to discuss concerns and develop plans for positive growth.

Have you ever wondered whether therapy could be helpful? Has the idea of finding a provider or starting the process ever seemed scary or daunting? As a clinical psychologist, I understand the importance of building rapport and trust, as we pave the way for working together towards your goals and what you would like to get out of therapy. I aim to create a supportive and non-judgmental space so that my clients feel safe to explore needs, wants, inner conflicts and vulnerabilities.

You’re not alone! Most people don’t care about the interventions or methods of therapy used. They just want to feel better! I believe the answer to feeling better lies in the connection.

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.
