Drawing from systemic family therapy, queer theory, and liberation-based healing, I employ trauma-informed interventions with collaborative approach.
Healing starts when we know what to heal from, believe that we can heal, and connect with our inner and external resources to heal. As a relational therapist, I support individuals, couples and families in navigating life transitions and cross-cultural issues, managing mental health symptoms, processing shame, guilt, and loss, improving communication and intimacy, and addressing the impact of systemic oppression on our sense of self and our relationships. I'm committed to supporting BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community. Together we discover and embrace your authentic self, release your inner strengths for personal and relational growth.

As an Intern in Marriage and Family Therapy, I am focused on relational healing and growth.
We all want loving, connected relationships, we want the best for our children and we want deeply fulfilling and meaningful lives. Then life happens, our mind loses the target, our emotions weigh us down and our bodies feel tired and weary. If you've reached this point, I want to walk along this path with you. I will work to understand your inner terrain and then help you see the bridges, landmarks, rest stops, and water stations so that your journey regains more of its adventure and joy. From here you orient back to your own compass discovering calm, confidence, compassion, connection, creativity, courage, and clarity.

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.
