Sometimes it's hard to name exactly what's wrong, only that certain patterns keep showing up. Maybe this comes in your relationships, in the ways you respond to stress, or in the distance between how you feel and how you'd like to feel. If part of you senses that there is something deeper to explore, you may be in the right place. I enjoy working with adults navigating complex, developmental, and relational trauma, especially the early wounds that shape how you see yourself, attach to others, and move through the world.

As a queer Filipino American therapist in my 30s, I understand how isolating it can feel to navigate identity, relationships, anxiety, and expectations without a safe space to talk things through. I was born in Los Angeles and moved to Milwaukee in 2020, and rebuilding community in a new city reminded me how important it is to feel seen, understood, and supported. My goal is to create a space where you can talk openly about what you’re going through without feeling judged or alone. I often work with people who identify as people-pleasers, caregivers, or peacemakers—those who tend to put others’ needs before their own.

Family Therapy Therapists
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.
