As an experienced women and family therapist, I believe in working with my clients with the goal of showing up in the world as their most unapologetic and true selves.
People pleasing and perfectionist tendencies leaves us drained, resentful, and disconnected from who we are at the core. You may be fed up with the pressures and expectations of doing “all of the things”, feeling stretched too thin or wish you had the inner strength to make yourself a priority. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to commit to the change. You’re ready to kick self doubt to the curb. Most of all, you’re ready to embark on a journey towards peace and purpose.

Who are you? No really who are you underneath it all? Underneath the shame, the anxiety, the people-pleasing, the depression, and the long-lasting trauma? Your patterns tell a story, the way you carry yourself tells a story, the way you interact with others tell a story, and most importantly, the way you interact with yourself tells a story. Every intricate detail of your life tells a major story. Since childhood we have been embedded with ideas of who and what we are. By the time we reach adulthood we become a melting pot of ideas from society, family and social media. What do you have to say about you?

Do you struggle with sex getting more daily attention than your closest relationships? Maybe a previous infidelity or betrayal continues to plague the relationship? Many of my clients struggle to make sense of emotions, but long to feel safe and connected to friends and family. Despite our best protective strategies, emotional experiences will not be ignored. Over a lifespan, adaptive protective strategies of the past become our prisons. Mal-adaptive in the present, old and helpful strategies of the past form the barriers to trusting safe and connected relationships we all desperately desire.

Being a human in an endless world of possibilities can be hard to navigate, but not impossible. I was born in Mexico and raised in the United States, and I know first-hand how hard navigating the world can be. Having worked with individuals there is beauty in complexity. We are made of different parts and one thing or one experience does not define who YOU are. I enjoy working in a collaborative form with individuals struggling around identity, personal/generational trauma, or other parts of their story. Every story is different and together we can explore your internal world and rediscover the “you” you are seeking.

Life is a journey that often consists of this constant and intricate dance between our desire to be at peace with who we are now, while becoming our ideal selves. Productivity culture can often contribute to our living in an internally anxious space that leads to a poor sense of self and creates urgency around evolving and growing. Not only can this dissonance make it difficult to enjoy the ride, but it can also negatively influence our relationships with others as we struggle to navigate the nuances of this journey. How can these desires live harmoniously? How do we find peace within ourselves and in our relationships with others?

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.
