In my therapeutic work, I integrate the many facets of my 20-year professional career – which have included positions in the corporate, academic, and educational sectors – with general life experience, to provide you with insightful, culturally sensitive treatment.
Have you had a disturbing experience that makes coping with everyday life difficult? Or witnessed something awful you can’t forget? If so, you may be suffering from trauma. In my practice, I work with clients who struggle with the psychological, emotional, and physical consequences of past and/or ongoing trauma, as they try to avoid repeating personal and professional mistakes that serve only to worsen their traumatic experiences. If you are experiencing challenges such as these, I help you process your trauma in a supportive, validating environment, that is empowering and ultimately freeing.

Each of us is on a singular journey filled with joy and pain, moments of peace and moments of struggle. At times, one’s experience of struggle can be overwhelming and fraught with difficult emotions. Caught in a web of distress, we feel as if our journey has derailed. Psychotherapy is an opportunity to honestly confront one’s struggles and difficult experiences in the context of one’s entire self. In an environment of acceptance and compassion, I use a range of evidence-based techniques to help my clients approach and understand their challenges and identify ways forward that incorporate acceptance and full engagement in life.

Dealing with difficult feelings alone can be overwhelming. Many find it far easier to keep those feelings buried. Some are overcome by them instead. These feelings can interfere with our dreams and relationships, impacting our ability to live our lives to the fullest. One of the greatest obstacles to coping with feelings is poor sleep which is why it is a major component of the work I do. Feel free to reach out. It would be my honor to partner with you in making your dreams a reality.

My practice is varied, although the focus over the years has been the LGBTQ community. I also see singles, couples and families not identified as LGBTQ. My role is to be a supportive agent, assisting the client to explore their past and present and to be more open about conflicts that are causing stress. Together, we explore the clients family history, in order to develop a deeper understanding of their present patterns and relationships. Anxiety, low self-esteem, sexuality, work problems are all examined. As a parent who has adopted, I work with families and individuals around adoption/foster care issues.

Before I became a psychotherapist, I had a career as a professional diplomat, and I served in different countries. Having been exposed to diverse cultures in the course of my life, I am particularly attuned to the varieties of narratives that shape people’s identities and relationships with self and others. In my work with each client, I aim to bring my unique personal and professional perspectives into our therapeutic dialogue. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where clients can explore how old patterns—that might no longer serve them—repeat in the present and foreclose future growth.

Do you sometimes wish life could be easier? At some point in life we may feel overwhelmed by work pressure, family conflicts, relationships, financial difficulties, or any other modern life challenges. Even without a serious trigger we can sometimes feel simply exhausted. We obsessively think about the same topic, and we have difficulties falling or staying asleep. After a while we start to feel incompetent, ashamed, doubting ourselves, and totally unmotivated.

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.
