My work with clients involves bringing the unconscious to the conscious & diving into family dynamics to identify what templates are being formed & why.
My focus includes helping individuals work through phases of grief/loss of a parent or partner, as well as the effects on providers whose patients have died. I also treat survivors who have gone through narcissistic abuse - I am here to help heal, rebuild a healthy sense of self & how to have healthy relationships. Other areas of focus include imposter syndrome, acculturation issues, relationship struggles, anxiety, phase of life transitions, as well as entertainment industry challenges. My clients end up feeling empowered in life & secure in knowing that I'm actively guiding them toward becoming the best versions of themselves.

I offer individual, couple work or family work to help people find meaning, satisfaction and joy in their lives.
My ideal client is someone who has already explored their own journey and done some reflection on their life and biography. They are seeking me out because I can help them with my own skills and practice to help make more sense of where they've come from so far. So, the goals would include things like continued growth or living a more satisfying life.

My method synthesizes the best of several therapeutic approaches including EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, internal family systems and attachment theory.
Anyone can give advice. In my experience, people come to therapy looking for something they cannot get anywhere else. Usually they are struggling with anxiety, depression, or some other issue that they have not been able to solve on their own. How does therapy help? My philosophy is that we heal through relationship—not in isolation. So rather than providing a list of pre-scripted tools, I strive to develop genuine connections with my clients. But beyond simply looking for relief from troubling symptoms, my goal is to help you create the life you want to live.

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.
