For individuals dealing with fears pertaining to their career, family or friends, or experiencing dating/intimacy struggles, I can help.
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” With over a decade of experience, I specialize in adult relationships and the physiological impact that adverse life experiences have on mental health and the body. If you are struggling with maintaining healthy relationships with yourself or your loved ones, grappling with the ability to rest and regulate emotions, and have faced tragedy, neglect, or abuse—I'm here to listen. A therapist talking about trauma is different from treating trauma. I have a passion for treating trauma; with a focus on attachment needs. I am EMDR trained.

Seeking therapy can be a big step, so I want you to know that my goal is to make clients feel comfortable enough to work on their issues, large or small.

Even with all the self-help books you’ve read, advice from well-meaning friends and family, google searches for advice and more, you still suffer from the weight of not being good enough.
Is life not going the way you imaged? Maybe you’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious and a multitude of other emotions or even numb to any emotions. You’ve read plenty of books under the self-help genre but nothing’s changed except now you think you are a people pleaser, have emotionally immature parents, have a disorganized attachment style, maybe suffered some sort of trauma and the list goes on. You overthink about things that have happened in the past, things that potentially may happen in the future while missing out on what is happening right now.

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.
