A sense of belonging. Feeling seen and understood. Feeling comfortable with your actions and responses to loved ones, co-workers, and acquaintances. To make meaning of how your life has gone so far and, perhaps, find some peace within your story. Sometimes these real, human desires can feel daunting without some support... My approach is extremely genuine, compassionate, and ... real. I have many years of experience working with clients who have encountered challenges in life transitions, identity/sexuality, relationships, historical family trauma, depression/anxiety, and questioning what it means to live their truth in life.

I am a bilingual therapist who works primarily from a Solution Focused Therapy approach or strengths based point of view. I take interest in helping individuals control their anger, impulses, anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive thoughts or behaviors. As for couples, I focus on what they want, know the importance of not taking sides, and make the process fun with activities that foster exploration and growth. I have over 8 years of experience conducting intense family counseling with children and teens who were placed in foster care, treatment centers or correctional facilities because their behavior was out of control.

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.
