Do I joke about the word "journey"? Yes. Do I still use it? Yes. You are not behind. You are not “too much.” Healing is not linear (seriously, it’s more like a maze), and giving yourself grace and permission to focus on you is key. I’m an English/Spanish-speaking licensed psychotherapist who helps people figure out who they are underneath all the stress, trauma, and survival mode. I’ve spent the last 5 years helping clients to work through trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, couples therapy, ptsd, anger disorders, and more —basically, a full tour of the emotional landscape.

Accepting New Clients-
From the outside, you seem put together. You handle responsibilities, meet expectations, and show up for others. But in your relationships, you feel anxious, emotionally reactive, or unsure of where you stand. You’re high-functioning in most areas of your life but on the inside, you overthink conversations, question your worth, and worry about being “too much.” I work with women who appear confident externally yet feel emotionally overwhelmed internally. Together, we focus on understanding attachment patterns, reducing relationship anxiety, and building a stronger sense of self-trust.

Any one who is looking to "navigate" life while enduring stressors from home, job, school, relationships, etc., can come to us for help. The world is ever changing but mentally we are not always prepared for what is asked of us which causes people to question themselves and their abilities. We all have self-correcting systems in our bodies, but these systems need more specific information than the body provides alone. Biofeedback allows us to gather this information and instantly display it back to you visually and audibly. You then have the information to help you gain control over your physiological and behavioral responses.

FAQ - About Family Therapy
What issues does family therapy help with?
Family therapy can help families navigate the complex dynamics of family life, including communication challenges and recurring conflict between family members. A therapist can help family members identify dysfunctional patterns in communication and develop healthier ways of relating. Family therapy may also be helpful during major life transitions or stressful events that affect the family system, such as grief, divorce, trauma, relocation, or a serious illness. In some cases, family therapy can support families coping with specific mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, alcohol or substance use disorders, and eating disorders. In these situations, therapy can provide education and support for family members, as well as to the individual with the mental health diagnosis.
How do I know if my family needs counseling?
Family therapy may be helpful if a family consistently struggles with conflict or communication in a way that affects daily life or relationships. It can also be beneficial when someone in the family is experiencing significant emotional or behavioral changes, such as a family member becoming aggressive, withdrawing, or struggling to cope after a traumatic event. Additionally, some concerns, such as addiction or eating disorders, may be especially important to address in the context of the family unit.
Who attends family counseling sessions?
Family counseling sessions are often attended by members of the immediate family, such as parents, caregivers, children, or siblings. However, other family members may attend when appropriate, including grandparents, stepparents, stepsiblings, or co-parents. Who attends may depend on the family’s needs, the therapist’s recommendations, and the goals of treatment.
Can family therapy be done online?
Family therapy can often be done online. Virtual sessions may be especially convenient when family members live in different locations, have busy schedules, or live in an area where family therapists are less accessible. However, online therapy may not be the best fit for every family. In-person care may be more appropriate when there are safety concerns, severe conflict, limited privacy at home, or when young children have difficulty engaging through a screen.
What therapeutic approaches are used in family counseling?
Family therapy can take different forms, including systemic family therapy (exploring how individual actions affect the family), structural family therapy (uncovering the structure and relationship dynamics of the family unit), and attachment-based family therapy (focusing on how bonds between family members shape relationships). Family therapy may also include psychoeducation, which helps family members learn more about a mental health condition and how to respond to it more effectively.
How much does family therapy cost and is it covered by insurance?
Family therapy sessions, which typically last about an hour, often range from $150 to $250 or more, depending on factors such as location, therapist experience, session length, and practice setting. In general, family therapy may cost more than individual therapy because it involves multiple participants and more complex treatment planning. Insurance coverage for family therapy varies by plan. Some plans may cover family therapy when it is part of treatment for a diagnosed mental health condition affecting one family member. However, many plans do not cover therapy for general family conflict, communication concerns, or relationship issues alone. Before starting therapy, it is important to check with your insurance provider to confirm whether family therapy is covered, what your copay or deductible may be, and whether any diagnosis, referral, or prior authorization is required.
