Life didn't come with a playbook. Whether you're going through a season that feels impossible to navigate alone, or you just need an unbiased person in your life, I welcome you to come for a visit. Finding a therapist can be a lot like finding a partner in life - if one doesn't fit, you can go on to the next. I offer a (free) consultation so you can decide if I'm a fit before moving forward. Virtual sessions only at this time.

Part of being human means that at some point, we all come face to face with some sort of difficulty. This is why I believe that counseling can be beneficial for anyone and everyone.

Our past experiences can have a significant impact on our present day problems. Unresolved childhood trauma can present itself in adulthood as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, avoidance, self-sabotage, insecurity, fear of abandonment, low self-worth, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, and difficulty dealing with confrontation or conflict. Trauma can also present itself physically in the form of body aches and pains, muscle tension, and sleep disturbance. Therapy can be highly beneficial in healing from trauma, managing stress, and building resilience.

Sometimes life throws a lot at us and we don’t always ask for help when we need it. Stress can come from various places and often even hides making it difficult to see what’s coming until it’s right on top of us.

Together we will work to create a safe space for you and/or your loved ones to create support and establish skills needed to bring stability and balance back into your life. We will help you tap into your inner abilities so that you can be your most authentic you.

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.
