"Counseling wherever and whenever you are ready". Providing mental health and substance abuse services for the past eight (8) years to children, adolescents, and adults has made me a firm believer that access to counseling services should be a human right and not a privilege due to socioeconomic status.

As men we often feel stuck and find it difficult to move forward. Life has a way of doing that. We often ask ourselves, "what happened?" "How did I get here?" It could be a host of reasons, past traumas, grief, depression, loneliness, regrets, abandonment, relationship issues. Does any of that sounds familiar? I know that society says men don't go to therapy. This stigma has contributed to you being stuck. It has paralyzed you from moving beyond your past. I want to let you know that it's never too late to talk to someone. As a man I get it. And sometimes it takes another man to get it. Call me, I want to empoweru to a better you

I get it, life is hard. As a highly sensitive person myself, I believed for most of my life that there was something wrong with me - until I learned what a superpower high levels of empathy and sensitivity can be. I believe it takes a tremendous amount of strength to reach out for help when feelings of hopelessness seem to take over, and I also believe that emotional vulnerability is a difficult yet courageous act of self-love and self-compassion. Going to therapy is brave, and I want to acknowledge your first step towards healing: you are here, and I am so glad that you are.

I can work with individuals, children, adolescents, couples or families. I am referred to as a "family therapist" because I work with one person or many at the same time. Sessions are tailored to the client needs and goals. Talk therapy is not for everyone and if someone has difficulty expressing themselves we can use other modalities.

As one ages, one experiences the "Winds of Change". Some of us experience these changes in our lives one at a time, and others experience a world wind that may take our breath away. As a therapist that concentrates on Holistic remedies, I find that many of us are not able to handle all of the changes that may occur at one time, which may leave us feeling depressed and/or anxious. However, during this state of "change" is it actually depression and/or anxiety... or is it a result of what has or is occurring in our lives?

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.
