I provide culturally affirming approaches with evidence-based modalities to address the unique impact of trauma and how it manifests in us especially. I include somatic practices to regulate the nervous system, cognitive-behavioral techniques to challenge negative thought patterns, and narrative therapy to reframe personal stories of resilience and empowerment.
I also integrate culturally responsive care by acknowledging systemic barriers, celebrating cultural strengths, and providing a safe, nonjudgmental space for healing. For example, they might incorporate mindfulness practices tailored to the client’s spiritual or religious background.
