Are you struggling to move forward in your life? Whether it's crippling anxiety, fear, depression, loneliness, stress, relationship/family issues, or trauma, there is hope. I have been helping adults who struggle with these problems for the past 5 years. It's not easy to ask for help but it's the first step in learning how to move forward in times when things feel hopeless. I received my Master’s of Science in Clinical Psychology at the Vanguard University of Southern California.

My family comes from two different cultures and countries and I have been raised in another, so I have had the good fortune to see how many people carry in their bones different ways to see life and thrive.
Warm greetings, I welcome you and the challenges that you are encountering. I would like to offer my support and collaboration to understand your challenges and hopes and to develop helpful ways towards living a more beautiful life. As a foundation, I carry a strength-based approach that weaves a supportive fabric through this journey, where each person has unique qualities and gifts, some of which may be known and some not yet uncovered. Often difficulties in life bring opportunities for qualities to surface and in working with these challenges, skills can develop.

I know you are SO tired of being unheard, invalidated, and judged by the people closest to you. Therapy gives us an emotionally safe, nonjudgmental, and objective place to be seen and heard authentically. Much of the emotional pain we feel in life stems from being pigeonholed into other people's ideas about who we SHOULD be versus being allowed the personal ground to be who we really are. I provide therapy that is humanizing, supportive, and acknowledges your individuality.

Not accepting new clients
My work with clients is based on the holistic philosophy of transpersonal, humanistic, mindfulness, and depth psychology. I use a client-centric approach that honors the lived experience and inherent wisdom of my clients in the dimensions of mind, body, emotions, spirituality, creativity, and community. The therapeutic process is focused on facilitating a client's self-awareness, self-acceptance, curiosity, and courage to change. Clients who benefit most from this approach have a strong desire to heal, gain insight, and transform insight into action.

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.
