Supporting individuals in honoring and accepting their unique upbringing, traditions and values.
A complex or multicultural upbringing refers to the experiences of those who have been raised and exposed to multiple cultural influences, including ethnic, racial, linguistic, or religious backgrounds. Have you experienced being in a room of people where you feel different, othered, and somewhat isolated from the experience at hand? Chances are that your worldview and identity have been shaped by your unique values, beliefs, communication styles and social norms, to name a few.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I'm interested in your upbringing and how your worldview shapes your understanding about yourself, others, and the experiences you are faced with. I offer culturally sensitive therapy that acknowledges, respects and promotes the diverse experiences and perspectives you may have as a result of your multicultural upbringing. I’m interested in coming close to your narrative, to process the unique stories that make you you, and to develop therapeutic interventions to help you weave together who you are and who you want to be. Some common issues I help clients with include:
- Acculturation Stress
- Identity Development
- Language Barriers
- Family and Upbringing Conflicts
- Discrimination and feeling othered
- Prejudice
- Trauma
- Loss
