I have multicultural expertise in gender and sexuality, and in helping individuals: achieve their goals and become their own best selves, find clarity, direction, and purpose, increase their self-esteem, reduce anxiety, stress, and phobias, resolve sexuality and relationship issues, and heal past memories.
Would you like to understand yourself, or your relationships, better? Do you have a need for clear direction? insight on your journey? Would you like to change your life? attract the people, knowledge and things you need? accomplish your dreams? experience greater happiness? get rid of annoying habits and fears? live with less stress? Let me help you bloom to your full potential. I do not label or use a "medical model." As an interfaith minister, I provide holistic spiritual counseling, and/or hypnotherapy or intuitive guidance, that is respectful of your spiritual (or non-spiritual) perspective.

Additionally I take a multicultural approach during counseling, always considering the context of the client's world.
I believe that counseling is so much more than talking about your problems. It is truly a collaboration between the counselor and client. Together we create goals. Together we identify potential solutions. My personal mission is to build a safe, trusting and non-judgmental environment in which you are confident that the focus is you. When you enter into my space, be prepared to enter into an inviting educational environment where you can learn new skills to help you reach your fullest potential. I will not take for granted the power of listening. You deserve to share your story and to be heard.

I use a multicultural and integrated approach by incorporating Evidenced Based Treatments (EBT), such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, and Recovery Oriented Therapy (CT-R), Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), while accounting for an individual cultural identity and adapting evidence based practices for their needs.
Sometimes the best form of therapy doesn’t have to look like therapy. When working with young adolescents, college students, and adults in individual therapy, I often hear about their challenges feeling stuck, not like themselves, and essentially hopeless. I have over 10 years of experience providing counseling with diverse populations from various religious beliefs, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ communities. My work has often involved helping individuals gain the tools to overcome various mood disorders, anxiety (general, social, and performance), depression, identity exploration, and communication challenges.

It can be things within ourselves (such as, self-confidence or self-expectations) or things happened to us (such as, trauma or loss). My work is to give attention to where it is needed.

One of the most powerful experiences that a person can have is sitting across from another human being and feeling understood. I approach therapy with a multicultural lens, cognizant of the fact that every person is an individual that has been shaped by their own cultural backdrop (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, spiritual path, etc.). I emphasize the role of the client as the expert on their world; and therapy as a collaboration. Through this collaboration and my understanding of the client as an individual within larger intersecting systems (e.g., family, school), I strive to effect positive therapeutic outcomes.

Over the course of 10 years in the mental health field, I have had the opportunity to work with clients of various ages, genders, and racial/ethnic/ multicultural backgrounds who have experienced an array of symptoms and diagnoses.
I believe that everyone is unique in their own way and that everyone's personal background brings a unique perspective. I aim to explore that perspective and help guide client’s in a place where they feel safe and comfortable. This allows for mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth. I create an individualized treatment plan for each client and help them develop realistic and attainable goals. Psychoeducation is an intervention I often incorporate and I tend to put an emphasis on coping skills, self care, and healthy boundaries, as they are all a very important piece of the healing and growing process.

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.
