My primary interest in therapy has been helping people discover and be their true "self." This involves examining who you truly are, the relationships you're in, and identifying barriers that hinder you from achieving the life you desire. I view therapy as a self-discovery journey—an attentive and supportive exploration of your actions, thoughts, emotions, and relationships, influenced by your life experiences. Additionally, I am trained in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy to enhance the therapeutic process.

Hi! I'm excited to connect you with my field of expertise, the emerging world of conflict analysis and resolution: an alternative to traditional psychology. Maybe, you don't know whether traditional therapy is for you and you're experiencing conflict yet unable to find a resolution. It may seem like all of your relationships are being impacted, including the one you have with yourself. Sometimes, it feels like no one has taken the time to truly understand you. You need someone to step in and organize the mind clutter and guide you through action oriented tasks. You need solid empowerment.

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.
