I am a proud DC native and a Licensed Mental Health Therapist (LGPC). I specialize in creating a safe space where people can be heard, seen, and validated. My mindset is to help clients listen to their inner voice (thoughts) concerning how they feel (emotions). I have a talent for working with people who struggle to find their voice, understand their path, identify their struggles, and seem lost in who they want to be. I work with a variety of clients from all different backgrounds. I conduct individual, couples, family, and adolescent therapy. I work with clients on various issues to assist them in their healing journey.

If you feel like your recipes for life have failed, you are at an important growth point. This is the crossroad where "expectations" and "reality" meet. You are not lost, you are right where you are supposed to be. You have probably been here before but this time you are paying attention. The vehicle that brought you here involves your relationships with yourself and others including love, family, work, friendships and spiritual relationships. A clear sign that you are stuck at the "expectation" vs "reality" intersection is when you are unable to move beyond disappointment, frustration, anxiety, anger, exhaustion and inertia.

You are deep down in your bones tired. Tired of living a life, working a job, and being in relationships where you are never prioritized or taken care of. Most days you look like you’ve got it together, but you feel far from it. You’re tired of wanting connection but losing yourself to get it. You're tired of being the "go-to person" who has no one to go to. You struggle to feel “good enough." or worthy. You’ve talked with family/friends, you’ve prayed, and tried to focus more on “self-care”-- but still find yourself unable to move past the things that keep you stuck in pain. And you’re tired of not feeling in control of your life.

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.
