I have additional training in trauma, EMDR, divorce mediation, family /couple relationships, and EFT (emotionally focused therapy).
Life can be difficult for even the most fortunate individuals. You may struggle with life transitions such as a death, divorce, job change, or relationship problems. You may experience feelings of inadequacy, depression, and loss of confidence when trying to confront these challenges. When challenges become a source of stress, it is common to struggle with feelings of failure, insecurity, shame, and loneliness. I take a compassionate, non-judgmental stance to help you address your concerns, needs and desired outcomes. My aim is to help you gain the clarity, strategies, and confidence to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals.

I practice with an emphasis on working with both the client and their family , as appropriate.
Many people seek therapy for the purpose of learning to cope with their suffering. While learning to implement healthy coping skills is absolutely something that can be incorporated in to therapy, I believe that therapy is meant to help someone not just cope but truly heal from the adverse life experiences they have encountered. I provide more than the traditional "crisis of the week" talk therapy and see my role as supporting individuals and families in moving through their suffering to discover their inner strengths, develop resiliency, and truly heal their pain.

With FAMILIES facing difficulties with children, teens, or maybe other adult family member, I use a systems therapy approach to change interactions and arrive at workable solutions.
I use research based brief therapy approaches to help COUPLES, FAMILIES, and INDIVIDUALS reduce distress and achieve more satisfying lives. I specialize in working with COUPLES using methods from Integrative Couple Therapy. I first carefully assess each partner's goals and concerns, identify troublesome patterns, and set a direction for change. Couples then decide if they want to work with me further to learn skills to reduce hurtful conflict and increase emotional and sexual intimacy. I also treat couples preparing for marriage, experiencing infidelity, or adjusting to separation and divorce.

From my more traditional grandparents, my alternative lifestyle mother and the aunts and uncles who added much vibrant diversity to our family (African, Latino, and Asian).
Life is full of opposition, loss, and uncertainty. However, we are ALL complicated, unique AND RESILIENT beings! Many times feelings of helplessness can prevent us from reaching our full potential. Therapy is a collaborative relationship where two or more individuals work together to bring light to life's questions and unlock strengths we already hold inside... a judgement-free-environment to open up and explore new opportunities while healing and learning from life's challenges. Overcome negative self-beliefs while creating your desired reality... journeys that ultimately lead to a state of wellbeing and overall contentment. AKA Whole Person Happiness!

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
