Both individual and family therapy sessions are offered, which can be in-person or remote.
I believe people have an incredible potential for strength, although at times the right kind of support is needed to tap into that potential. Life will inevitably have all sorts of challenges, and as such I offer assistance in navigating those more difficult moments. My approach emphasizes a constructive collaboration between therapist and client, in which we will together establish and find ways to reach personal milestones, while exploring your core beliefs. Conversations will be largely purposed to increase insight, coping, and a sense of empowerment by being in touch with one's own values.

Most of my day I am helping people deal better with their anxiety and stress, sadness, grief, anger, work issues and relationships. I am teaching coping skills, and helping people become better versions of themselves. I generally treat persons individually from the ages of 18-up. Couples counseling is also an area of great interest and experience for me.

I have extensive training in crisis intervention, parenting, experience with school-related issues, and recognizing and healing family relationships across generations.
In my years as a Therapist, I have come to the conclusion that many, if not all of our perceptions are informed by our lived experiences. In serving families, I have seen how generational trauma affects families in ways, such as, unhealthy attachment styles, inadequate skills to emotionally regulate, substance abuse, domestic violence, etc. It just takes ONE person to break the cycle for you and your descendants. Let's work together as you become that person for your family. Understanding the impact this kind of trauma has over us, will help you reconnect with the beautiful soul you have always been.

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.
