I am sensitive to the uniqueness of our situation, the need to adapt to each person, family or relationship as individual and hold the belief that "one-size" does not fit all.
If your struggling with self, others or maladaptive behaviors I can assist in developing a personalized treatment plan and goals. Utilizing various trainings, beliefs and tested modalities, together we can move towards the life you want, accept the situations that we may not be able to change and weave an eclectic, psychoeducational approach designed to provide tools and develop skills to address many of your stated concerns. Using supportive language, a belief that change is possible and the inherent power of the human spirit, I will walk with you though the changes you seek.

Life, a canvas of hues beyond black and white, navigates the challenge of gray areas for an immigrant like me. In this complex journey, adapting to a new environment and managing personal and professional challenges is a constant juggling act. Distance from loved ones and cultural differences add layers, challenging the handling of mounting pressures. Whether a traveling student, in an international marriage, an elderly person relocating overseas with adult children, or a parent sending children back for upbringing, unique struggles arise from the intricate complexities in a foreign land.

I have 20 years of experience as a clinical social worker and prior to that was a home-based family counselor. I view my role as helping the person clarify troubling life experiences, past and present, and to understand their responses to those experiences. These may include: difficult relationships and families, unresolvable ambiguity; agonies of adolescence; substance and alcohol abuse, or legacies of trauma and existential dilemmas. I believe each person contains the seeds of their own solution and I work to nurture that individual solution. This happens in a relationship where it becomes safe to "say anything."

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.
