For the last 40 years, I have worked with native populations. First in Mexico in small rural fishing villages and then in the Pacific Northwest working with native people.

I am interested in the mental, physical and spiritual effects of trauma on individuals families and communities and how cultural healing practices and traditional medicines provide a foundation for conventional mental health therapies.

I have devoted my career to the exploration of working with diverse communities where culture is a primary method for regaining and maintaining mental and physical health.

The skills of cultural competency can be applied across all groups and is based on knowing who we are and where we come from as we explore its relevance to our work as clinicians.

I feel like I can treat anyone regardless of their background. I am comfortable asking my client what is important to them even if I don’t know much about their culture.

Join me on an adventure into the world of cultural competency. Many of these ideas relate to the diverse peoples of Alaska. Improve assessment, avoid ethical dilemma and overcome fears. Tailoring treatment for specific groups is one way to improve relationship with diverse clients. To help your clients, dig deeper into your identity and discover how to use it.

If you work with diverse clients, you will gain a reputation as the premier therapist in your community.

You might just want to attend this seminar. There are 6 hours of cultural competency and 3 hours of Alaskan ethics credit. I guarantee you will leave with more. The seminar will challenge you to explore the intersection of your belief systems with your clinical work and allow you to become more confident as a culturally sensitive clinician.
