PhD in training, Couple and Family Therapy; Pfund Foundation Scholar, AAMFT Minority Scholar, Trio McNair Scholar.
I’m no “how do you feel about that?” therapist. You’re serious about your life, and you want real value for your time and money. I’m like a conductor and coach: your growth is my growth. I give no-nonsense feedback—no excuses, no sugarcoating (maybe a little cheeze sometimes because life is too real sometimes). I’m brown, queer, gender-affirming, sex-positive, and here to help you build deep, satisfying relationships. Connection is power and purpose. My mission is to remind people of their inherent worthiness, to invite them to practice love for themselves, others, and their communities, and to offer lessons in liberation.

My specialty lies in Internal Family Systems (IFS).
The therapeutic process is one of endless discovery and self-empowerment. Seeking out help is a valiant first step in this personal journey to befriend yourself. Befriending yourself greatly opens the internal space to invite others in so that we might have fuller, richer, and more wholesome relationships with those we love and those we’ve yet to meet. If you seek to reconnect, or connect more deeply, with your inherent goodness, then please reach out. I am deeply excited by the prospect of being able to share this experience with you.

In my sessions, I use a blend of theories with particular focus on internal family systems and emotionally-focused therapy.
Each of us can have a life worth living. If you are burned out or stressed out, or if you find yourself having the same, repeated conflicts with your loved ones, therapy can help. Therapy can help you interact differently with the stressors in your life. We can all benefit from therapy by gaining insight into ourselves, creating new patterns in our relationships or finding helpful ways to cope with life’s difficulties. Each person has the ability to find contentment, peace and meaning in life. It takes courage to reach out. I use a caring, non-judgmental approach to support clients in the important work of healing.

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.
