My work is trauma-informed and culturally sensitive - but above all, relational.
Throughout my career, I've worked in a wide variety of settings - community-based organizations, residential programs, public schools, hospitals and in clients' homes - and have had the privilege to build collaborative and trusting relationships with teens and adults across those settings. My approach is warm and nonjudgmental, and I strive to create a space between us where you feel seen, heard and respected. Your values, experiences, and hopes matter deeply to me, and will serve as important guides in our work together.

Your child and I may be a good fit if they do not seem to “fit the mold” emotionally and/or behaviorally and you would like to support them with a therapy process. In sessions with me, children who are neurodiverse and/or experience anxiety, social skills challenges, trauma, and other needs will find a safe space to be themselves and explore ways to make changes at their own pace. I offer an emotionally supportive environment whether in- or outdoors which fosters deep therapeutic work. I even make sessions fun! Let’s work as a team to support your child on the journey from where they are to where they’d like to be. Email to Inquire.

I am currently accepting new in-person and telehealth referrals. Life is challenging for everyone especially in a world that is so focused on what is going wrong rather than what is going right. While you cannot often control the difficulties you face, you can decide how you react to them. Everyone can benefit from someone in their life who supports them and helps process their experiences while also challenging the unhelpful thoughts and habits holding them back. My strength-based approach promotes the development of personal confidence and useful skills to manage whatever successes or challenges life presents.

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.
