I focus on person-in-environment and multicultural frameworks when looking at the lives of my clients.
Many of my clients understand that they are struggling, yet are unsure what to do about it. Be it depression, anxiety, substance use, identity, trauma, or other such issues, it may seem overwhelming to address without guidance. Many have not engaged in counseling before or had a setback in their lives that they need assistance exploring. Many clients want freedom to be authentic in who they are, but have difficulty believing this is possible. We learn, together, that believing in and finding compassion for the self is an experience of being courageous and vulnerability is strength. We learn to own all of ourselves.

Hello, to be completely transparent, it is through my own suffering and trauma that I was lead to the counseling profession. I know first hand just how incredibly difficult it may be not only to first acknowledge the need for change, but to take the steps necessary in seeking help. Congratulations on your decision and bravery in accomplishing this step. I would be honored to play a small role in helping you through this journey.

As a foreign national, I have personal and professional multicultural experience.
Wholehearted Counseling's approach to therapy speaks to "whole person wellness." I am looking forward to meeting you where you are and building a trusting, working relationship that honors your story and experiences. This viewpoint speaks to a phrase I've developed that also guides my life, "Our perspective on issues coming our way will determine if we live an adventurous or miserable life."

My orientation is primarily insight oriented (psychodynamic) and I integrate attachment theory, existential-humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, multicultural, and feminist modalities.
The people I work with often come to me because they are looking to gain insight into emotional patterns, address difficult dynamics, and develop more balanced relationships with themselves or others. Together we paint a picture of their life stories, work to integrate the various aspects of themselves, and move towards the life they want to be living. We take the time to explore the context and history of the problem or symptom they are experiencing in order to better address it. I work with people of all ages and backgrounds and promote authentic expression and reflection in the therapy room.

Each one of us has an inherent worth apart from the work we do, people we serve, and labels we receive from others as well as ourselves. There are certain needs that each person has that shape the way we see and experience the world. These needs consist of feeling valued, having your own unique identity, being heard or validated, being seen, known and accepted. Lastly, having a sense of connection and authenticity with others. These do not come easily in our world today as we are taught the opposite and in turn we don’t have a clue how to identify our needs, let alone communicate this to others. Let me help teach tangible tools.

As a melanated person, I recognize the uniqueness in the Black and Latinx experience as well as the importance of implementing cultural practices to address your well-being. Therefore, I understand your search for mental health services that aim to recognize your unique lived experience. We are often living our lives in survival mode, adapting and assimilating to fit a multitude of spaces where we are seen as the minority. Given the trauma Black and Latinx people experience on a daily, it is easy to feel alone and unheard. I know what it's like to suffer in silence, and I don't want you to know that feeling.

The relationships in our lives are often the most important thing to us and when they aren't going well it's easy to feel stuck. Stuck fighting over the same things, stuck feeling like your needs aren't being met, and stuck feeling lonely and depressed. This can leave us feeling overwhelmed and longing for connection. When life and our relationships get difficult to manage that's when therapy can help.

Therapy starts with a simple conversation and me seeking to learn your unique perspective, needs, and goals. You may or may not know exactly what your are looking for. You might feel anything from complete comfort to terror in taking this step. I am great at helping people feel comfortable & asking the right questions to develop shared understanding. This will continue throughout treatment, so that we are always increasing awareness and achievement. This does not happen instantly, but in stages. I will support you to ensure you move at a pace best suited to your needs and comfort level.

Multicultural Therapists
What type of therapy is multicultural therapy?
Multicultural therapy is not tied to any specific therapy; rather, it is an overarching approach to therapy that aims to acknowledge and address the influence that factors like race, gender identity, and cultural background can have on someone’s life. Multicultural approaches can be applied to CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and others, and can be practiced with individuals, couples, families, or groups.
What can I expect from multicultural therapy?
Multicultural counseling should be tailored to the client’s unique identity and cultural needs. Such approaches often prioritize the building of trust so that the client feels comfortable exploring various aspects of their identity and any challenges caused by mismatches between their identity and the dominant culture. Beyond that, the format and timeline of therapy will be heavily influenced by the therapist’s preferred therapy approach and the specific problems for which the client sought therapy.
Can multicultural therapy help treat trauma?
Yes. Cultural factors such as racial background, gender identity and or sexuality, and immigration or refugee status can influence both whether someone experiences trauma and how they cope afterward. Multicultural approaches to trauma-informed care will be aware of these influences, helping the client recognize how their response to trauma may be shaped by their cultural background and identify coping mechanisms that take their identity into account.
What are the benefits of seeing a multicultural therapist?
Members of minority groups who seek therapy are sometimes frustrated by providers who don’t understand their cultural background or dismiss the ways in which race, gender, or other facets of their identity influence their lived experience. Seeing a multicultural therapist can help these clients feel seen, understood, and able to develop solutions to life challenges that take their upbringing, beliefs, and past experiences into account.
