Are you feeling stuck, at the end of your rope, like there's no way out? Please know that you're not alone, you deserve help and you are so worth it! There are options to get the help you need but it starts with you. Many people need help but some are afraid, unable or unwilling to do something about it. We can't expect to see changes if we continue to do the same things everyday. As your therapist, my goal is to help give you the hope and healing you need to reach your goals, to find happiness and to be the best version of yourself. I am here with you in your journey and believe we can grow from our vulnerability.

It's important to acknowledge up front that no therapist is a great fit for everyone seeking therapy. The people with whom I am able to develop the strongest, most effective therapeutic alliance tend to be those who contemplate themselves -and life, the universe, and everything- quite deeply. If you have been told by others in your life that you "overthink," I might be a good therapist for you. If you are struggling with symptoms of anxiety-, depression-, trauma-, and/or substance use-related disorders, or if you have been diagnosed with ADHD, I have many strategies and tools available to support you on your journey toward change.

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.
