Born in NY and having lived in Brazil, Japan, Hawaii and now Florida, I am culturally sensitive.
I have been in practice for over 35 years. I weave my Psychotherapy to suit the person that I am working with. Trained in numerous modalities, I respect and work with the psycho-socio-biological and spiritual parts of the person. Developing the therapeutic relationship and cultivating trust are primary in my work with my clients. Intuition, Perceptiveness and Energy Fields guide me as well. My strong interest with Trauma Work comes from my belief that we all have been traumatized in different ways. Being in the womb, leaving the womb and the birthing process are the beginnings of trauma.

"We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same." -Carlos Castenada. Our pain has an important message to give us if we just tune in to find out what it is and what we need to do in order to heal and grow from it. Do you have the same issues or circumstances come into your life over and over again? Our patterns are repeated until we learn to choose to react differently. Albert Einstein said the definition of insanity is when we keep doing the same things over and over again expecting a different result.

Here you are again; a new life challenge is thrown at you and you feel stuck. You are in a meaningless job, a stressful relationship. Maybe you are caring for someone else. Your days are filled with tasks and worries; you never find time for yourself. You feel exhausted, resentful and sad. But you feel you need to take care of people; if you won't, nobody will! Once more you rearrange your schedule to help your loved one. You are letting yourself go and you do not like who you have become. You need to change because you are at a point of breakdown. You do not know who you are anymore... And you urge to know!

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.
