With individuals, I utilize mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Are you looking to improve your relationship with yourself and others in your life? If so, then perhaps I can help. I work with adults, couples, and families wanting healthier, stronger relationships, and an overall better life. I enjoy working with people who want to transform their lives and their relationships; those who are ready to release the past and live more fully in the present in order to create a better future. I work with people on issues of trauma, spirituality, and grief resulting from death, a lost relationship and/or lost opportunities. I also work with people with process and substance addictions and recovery.

When your relationship is falling apart, nothing is more painful, lonely, and frightening. Your once best friend is now a foreign stranger, and the foundation of a family you participated in building is falling apart right before your eyes. The pain can become unbearable, and the best you can do is manage the pain so it doesn't completely destroy you. In these moments finding a solution may elude you or seem to be beyond your ability. Seeking a professional during such times can help you, and the ones you care most about in this world, get your life back on track.

I often refer my clients to engage in other forms of healing such as shamanism, family constellation work, plant and herbal medicine, TCM, bodywork, etc.
Every person that enters into therapy wants the same thing; to give and receive love more freely and fully. I believe this is not only possible it is your divine birthright. I am here to partner with you on your healing journey - to help guide you back to a state of greater freedom, wholeness and connection. In our work together, we aim to activate your innate resiliency, repair old relational injuries and release oppressive binds of shame-based conditioning. I see our work through a lens of possibilities. Most importantly, I already see you as a whole being.

Past leadership positions at Bay Area mental health programs have informed my work as a therapist. I have seen for some that balancing a career or education with everyday life can be overwhelming and isolating if one works endlessly while sacrificing self-care. You may find it challenging to set boundaries. You may feel like you are "being othered" by those who do not understand you. You may find it difficult to open your heart to family or friends when education, career, and relationships hold specific meanings for you. My passion as a therapist is to help people thrive in the ever-changing cultures of home, work, or academic life.

Has your family structure changed, and you just don't understand your family members? Do you feel like your relationships aren't going anywhere? Are you concerned about your parenting abilities?.
There are times when our problems become unbearable, and we can tell because they are impacting our relationships with others. We just don't know how to make changes that will be beneficial to the most important people in our lives, and ourselves. As a Marriage and Family Therapist , I can help you feel less alone and start thinking differently about the issues that have been holding you back. I want to know what got you to this point, and assist you in becoming a happier version of yourself.

Are you suffering and struggling in the living nightmare of an anxiety problem? Perhaps you are avoiding people, places or activities because of fear, panic or obsessive worrying. Maybe you have been suffering from a lack of sleep and feeling stressed and tired most of the time. Sleep medications and advice from friends or the internet might just make the problems worse. Maybe you're stuck in the never-ending rut of a bad habit or addiction that you can't seem to stop turning to for relief from your problems. Maybe you're unsatisfied in your relationships, overwhelmed by conflicts and a lack of closeness with people you care about.

I’ve gained flexibility and knowledge working with many different populations and different issues, including anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression, as well as family conflict and relationship issues.
Asking for help is hard. However, once you take that first step, it can be life-changing. Anything is possible by learning practical communication skills and building a positive self-view. My approach prioritizes my client’s needs and input to help them help themselves. I hold degrees in psychology and Biology, which provide an awareness and understanding of biological, chemical, and psychological intersections for mental health treatment.

I have extensive personal and professional experience with addiction and it's effects on both the individual and the family dynamic.
Are your habits getting in the way of living your best life? Do you consider yourself a "functioning" substance user? Maybe you are ready to change but 12-step programs or rehab are not for you. My approach is coaching-based, and solution focused. Sessions focus on authentic self-discovery, recognizing and removing patterns that are keeping you stuck, setting realistic goals, and developing strategy to achieve them. I work well with individuals in a transition period of their lives, and with those who are motivated to make a change. I will help you develop a plan and accountability.

Does it ever feel like there should be more to life? When you react once more to a difficult event or person, thinking – "I don't want it to be like this any longer… I feel ready for my life to take a positive turn". Life can be different and better than it is right now. There are places we can go together that are hard to find on your own. However, there is a path, roadmap, and way to achieve your goals. I'm here, and I'm ready to begin our journey. I have experience treating school-age children, parents, and family groups for anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and social-emotional difficulties, to name a few.

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.
