Através do meu trabalho para setores sem fins lucrativos, públicos e privados, desenvolvi uma paixão implacável por ajudar crianças, adolescentes e adultos a superar muitos desafios da vida. Considero um privilégio ter tratado essas populações de uma variedade de origens com condições de saúde mental igualmente variadas. Eu trabalhei com criminosos sexuais juvenis, delinquentes juvenis, crianças adotivas, cronicamente mentalmente doente, e criminalmente insano, casais, para citar alguns. Embora, seus problemas eram diferentes, seus objetivos eram os mesmos, para viver uma vida cheia de felicidade auto-suficiência e sucesso.

Você tem tido dificuldade com alguma situação e sofre com isso? Já tentou “tudo”, mas continua se sentindo sem saída e imerso em sofrimento psíquico, o qual pode se manifestar como isolamento, auto-crítica, desesperança, preocupação, medo, insatisfação, conflitos interpessoais, mudanças de humor, dissociação da realidade, sensação de perseguição, etc? Você tem se perguntado se algumas das dificuldades que você tem enfrentado - como, ser incapaz de agir ou repetidamente fazer escolhas erradas - podem dizer algo sobre seus dilemas subjetivos? Essa é a hora de fazer análise.

Em nossa primeira sessão juntos, lhe dou as boas-vindas ao meu consultorio e convido-o a torná-lo seu próprio espaço seguro. Eu explico que a terapia é um processo, um relacionamento e uma aventura. É também um presente de descoberta e renovação que só você pode dar a si mesmo. Nesse processo, meu papel é ouvir, apoiar, desafiar, guiar e celebrar você, à medida que você se torna mais corajoso para encarar as partes de si mesmo que estava evitando, aceitando mais a si mesmo e aos outros e sendo plenamente presente na sua vida.

Você sente que o passado está te roubando do presente? Ou como se o passado continuasse se repetindo? Pode ser um novo relacionamento ou nova situação, mas você continua sentindo aquela angústia como se "estivesse acontecendo tudo de novo". Experiências traumáticas podem deixar feridas muito profundas em nossa psique, na maioria das vezes nem percebemos como essas experiências não processadas continuam impactando nosso presente, inclusive nossos relacionamentos. Aumentar nossa consciência em relação ao nosso passado e entender nossos padrões presentes, sem julgamento, expande nossa capacidade de viver uma vida em totalidade.

I enjoy working with issues related to parenting and the challenges that come with it, on a personal, marital and family level and help parents build strong and healthy relationships with their children.
It does take courage to set up that first appointment, and the fit between therapist and client is an important one for the success of therapy. I encourage my clients to ask questions and express concerns about therapy and determine whether my approach and style are a good fit for you. Some common reasons people seek therapy have to do with self-exploration, how to communicate better with people, and how to cope with stressful life situations. My approach is a collaborative one and goal oriented. My focus is to support you find healthier coping skills to manage the challenging situations life might bring.

With a background intersecting religious studies and psychology, I specialize in matters of the heart and mind -personal growth/life transitions; relationships/family issues; and historical/unresolved pain.
Insight Care Counseling: The beauty of this -our shared life’s journey- is that we can aspire to embody its greatest gifts -love, fulfillment, clarity and peace. And yet, at times, we encounter challenges and changes that bring forth feelings of stress, depression, anxiety -or numbness and disorientation. And it is often at these junctures that psychotherapy can help; for in essence, the therapeutic journey is about finding richness even while in the land of disenchantment … and healing even while walking through pain.

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.
