I help people discover who they truly are by assisting them to balance emotional, mental and physical health which will lead to harmony in their lives. When we experience this harmony it brings happiness, success and joy. Often we encounter the same issues and problems in relationships with family members, at work, school, and in the community. Our limitations are expressed through our interactions with others. If our mind is preoccupied by memories, we are stuck in a loop and can lose self esteem, motivation and confidence. There are answers. The ability to change behavior and make better choices is always present to us.

As a trauma-centered and embodied therapist, I combine talk therapy with the use of play, art, and the body as tools for healing and liberation. I am curious about how wounds of the past and harmful expectations have impacted your sense of wholeness. You might be someone who learned exactly who you "ought" to be from a very young age. Boxes are easier to fit into when you're small. They feel safe, too, especially if your family or culture has been boxing parts of themselves away for generations. But any condition that limits your ability to fully step into the wholeness of who you are is ultimately damaging.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, with experience working with individuals, couples, and families, I approach my work from a systemic and integrative perspective.
To seek therapy takes courage and curiosity. The process of therapy gives us the opportunity to explore the impact of the multiple systems with which we are connected- family, work, home, friends, community- in the context of an affirming relationship with the therapist. Through this process, we come to better understand how we have interacted with these systems over time.

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.
