No matter who we are, our relationships influence and mold our experience of life. We all have a desire to create and maintain deep connections to our families, spouse, children, and friends that help sustain us during our challenges and storms and lift us higher during the joys and peaks. For most of us, though, that process is difficult and not without pitfalls. As a marriage and family therapist, I keep in mind the importance of relationships and how they affect and shape all of us. This knowledge allows me to walk alongside and guide my clients in their journeys towards wholeness of self and wholeness of their relationships.

Waitlist for new clients
So often we suffer traumas and emotional struggles, feeling like no one will understand or not knowing where to turn. This is one of the reasons I chose to become a counselor. My role in my client's lives is to provide a different outlook and to evaluate possible solutions. I provide my clients with a safe and supportive environment, free of judgement or criticism, where meeting their goals is top priority. I help my clients recognize their choices, as well as the means to get there, and together we will work towards achieving those desired goals.

Always being the "strong one" can have consequences. When people hear the word depression, they often envision sadness, crying, and withdrawal; Yet depression can look just the opposite. As a result, the myth of what depression looks like may keep other HIGH ACHIEVING DEPRESSED ADULTS from seeking the help they need. I work with a number of different issues, but focus is placed on adults who are struggling emotionally and that struggle has negatively impacted areas such as; parenting; relationships; job satisfaction; and overall quality of life.

Finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and safe can be a challenge. I have an eclectic approach, understanding that each person is different, and has specific needs. I exercise an empathetic, compassionate, and non-judgmental listening. I see therapy as a two-person process, during that process, we will focus on identifying your behavioral patterns, the roots of those identified repetitive behaviors, and the dynamic in your relationships. This will help you develop insight and foster a sense of ownership in your life. ¿Estás buscando a un terapeuta que hable tu mismo idioma? ¡Llamame!

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.
