I speak English, Spanish and Russian and offer a culturally sensitive and accepting space for people from different ethnic, cultural, religious backgrounds and sexual orientation.
I believe that every person is an expert of their own life and possess inner strength necessary to deal with life situations. However, we may sometimes be overwhelmed by presented challenges or carry a load of childhood traumatic experiences that block the access to those resources and don’t allow us to find the best solutions. At Presence Psychotherapy, LLC, together with the client, we will explore different strategies and techniques, and examine important relationships within family and social systems, that will help them see new possibilities and become the author of their own life.

I work with adolescents, adults, and couples utilizing culturally sensitive and trauma-focused practices into client sessions.
This quote encompasses my approach to trauma and change: “Trauma creates change you don’t choose. Healing is about creating the change that you DO choose.” In my work with clients I seek to navigate through change, healing, and trauma, find and seek deeper meaning and understandings of our own selves within our existence and displays of resilience. In creating what we CHOOSE, whether it be CHANGE through our thought processes, relationships, decisions, or behavior the goals can seek to embrace the differences, challenges, and the unexpected that life throws at us.

Life balance is the goal and that is done through my work, with anxiety, depression, relationships, loss, trauma and children with behavioral disorders. Many people struggle with a variety of emotional challenges. An inability to manage emotions and behaviors effectively can negatively impact relationships. I help people identify their strengths, understand, experience and express their emotions in appropriate ways.

At some point during our life I believe that we have all wanted to hear "it's ok", "me too", to be supported or reinforced through challenging times. I enjoy working with women who have been impacted with anxiety, broken love languages, executive functioning difficulties, cyclical issues surrounding their monthly cycle, maternal mental health, as well as, those who just need someone to talk to. I believe that in our society we have too many pressures of judgment and I strive to provide a free environment. An environment free from judgement, free from stress, and a place to find your best sense of self.

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.
