My second Master's degree is in Marriage, Family, Child therapy.
For me, working with teens and their families, along with couples and individuals, is my vocation rather than my profession. I help families and teens make sense of the struggles faced by kids and their parents today. I help couples rebuild strong bonds. I guide individuals into a heightened awareness of themselves and their world. Another professional/personal passion is Cancer. In this domain, it really takes one to know one (and their caretakers). Guiding either the patient or caretaker is a new mission for me. I work closely with the sentiments in Dr. Kelly Turner's books - Radical Remission and Radical Hope.

"Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without." Sometimes it is difficult to find that inner peace and we need guidance from others. I have learned throughout my many years of working with adolescents, individuals, and families that without inner peace, we tend to feel stuck, lost and not be able to live the life we desire. My hope is that through individual or family therapy, I can help you create coping tools in areas of your life where you desire change.

Our mission at Forma Therapy is to empower individuals, and relationships and family systems to step into their full potential.
As a queer BIPOC individual, my passion is working with other individuals, relationships, and family systems of the queer (LGBTQIA+) and or BIPOC community. If you grew up in a culture that viewed mental health as taboo, you may be feeling alone and hopeless. Know that you are not alone in your journey. I believe that people and relationships can thrive if given the proper support, nourishment, and environment. We are all given the same tools, but how helpful can it be if we were never taught how to use them? With some direction, non-judgement, and unconditional positive regard I believe people are capable of incredible things.

I work with adolescents and adults by assessing factors such as family dynamics, attachment style, and early childhood trauma to help clients replace maladaptive coping with more positive skills.
Schedule now through my website in my bio! A therapeutic relationship is truly one of a kind. I strive to create a collaborative environment where my clients can explore their internal world with grace. I am not the expert on the lives of my clients nor do I expect them to have all the answers regarding why they do the things they do, what function certain behaviors serve, or identify what an emotional consequence resulted from any number of situations. I strive to promote self-care, self-compassion, and a sense of curiosity. I am a trauma therapist and have adopted a rather broad definition of trauma.

In my work I emphasize culturally sensitive and trauma-informed approaches, blending Person Centered, CBT, Mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Reaching out for support in our most vulnerable times can be painful, confusing, and quite literally scary! Whether you are a parent seeking support for your child, a family navigating challenging dynamics, or an adult facing a major life change, you will be met with authenticity and compassion. I believe our unique life experiences shape who we are, how well we connect with our inner Being, and how we interact with the world around us. Therapy is a place where you should feel heard, embraced, and most importantly- safe.

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.
