Do you feel overwhelmed when facing the obstacles in your life? Have you tried to find ways to help yourself, but no matter what you do, things are not getting better? Therapy can help you find new ways of dealing with the challenges in life that have become too much to handle alone. Every person has a reservoir of strength inside.

I see a primary goal of psychotherapy as providing the individual with a sense of empowerment: the belief that you are able to control your own thoughts and actions and through that interact more effectively in social, personal, and occupational arenas. Therapy begins with establing a supportive therapeutic relationship, in which one feels accepted and validated. The specific methods I use vary depending on the nature of the problem and the needs of the client.

César Chávez once stated, "We draw our strength from the very despair in which we have been forced to live. We shall endure." These powerful words echo with a timeless truth, reminding us that even in the depths of despair, strength can emerge and resilience can be nurtured. Within each of us lies a profound wellspring of untapped strength, waiting to be explored and harnessed. It is this intrinsic power that I wholeheartedly believe in and strive to awaken in those I have the privilege to assist. I approach my role with a deep commitment to providing guidance and support, without judgment or prejudice.

Family therapy
helps families learn the purpose in behavior and how to manage the storm of stress.
To me, spirit is about what is inside you regardless of your circumstances. My goal for providing therapy is teaching people how to function within how their lives actually are; good or bad, struggle or peace, history of trauma or not. Faith is a crucial part of it. In Acts 27 Paul is on a boat being tossed by a terrible storm. He tells the crew we should not have sailed BUT NOW we can manage the storm. In the Buddhist Eight Fold path Right Judgment is make choices based on how things truly are and not driven by emotion. The storm teaches us things and makes us stronger.

Therapy is here to help you or a loved one get through the ups and downs of life. There are times we will need someone to guide us through some of the most personal and painful situations we’ve experienced; such as the loss of a loved one or past trauma. There will also be times we may need a neutral party to discuss
family
or personal issues, or life changes in general. This is where a therapist can help us see ourselves more clearly, find answers, learn coping skills, and learn to make better decisions. We all have the ability to heal ourselves but sometimes we need a little guidance.

It takes a lot of courage to decide to seek help with something that is bothering you or that is a struggle within your life. I find it to be an honor to work alongside my clients in their own journey of healing. Therapy is different for every single person, and an element I have found important, is to operate as a team together with trust and rapport. As a therapist, I am client centered with a focus on building a safe and trusting relationship with my clients, aiding in the ability to share their thoughts, feelings and experiences. I provide alternative views, and often times will encourage continued work outside of session.

You feel like you’re running on fumes. You’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and stressed. You may feel like there's something wrong with you because you're not able to enjoy life like those around you and are struggling just to get through your day to day activities. Feeling this way can impact every aspect of your life, including romantic relationships,
family
life, work or school responsibilities, and even your physical health. It may even feel so overwhelming that you have or have considered hurting yourself to find some relief. Carrying the weight of everything going on in your life alone is exhausting.

Why do we seek out therapy? There's plenty of reasons such as depression, anxiety, marital/relationship issues, bullying, anger, identity concerns and the list can go on. There are plenty of issues we can continue to pull out if we really try but the overall goal is to process, identify and improve our quality of life. I know seeking out therapy can be difficult especially when you're given the task to talk to a complete stranger about your "problems" but sometimes it's a better fit once a relationship is built. Talking with your therapist gives you more time to spend with
family
or friends without sadness, anger or indifference.

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.
