Since COVID-19 started, I have decided to fill the gap of professionals who are no longer working face-to-face. Teletherapy is not the same as seeing someone in person. The reason for this, is the bond is made up of both physical and emotional connection. I achieve this through the process of art therapy, where people can bond by working together creatively. While I am not against medication, I use it as a last resort. I believe in many alternative holistic treatments that can be a substitute for medication. I see people as an integral part of a system, rather than seeing people as separate, as in the medical model.

Adolescence is possibly one of the most difficult times in one's personal development. But with caring support from family and friends, and in conjunction with therapy, adolescents can achieve greater self-confidence and resilience. Positive changes occur when a client and therapist work in concert to find new perspectives that lead to better paths. Through a better understanding of individual struggles and environmental factors, we develop tools for success that enables clients to become the best version of themselves. My practice is a judgment free, calm and quiet environment for clients to manage their concerns and challenges.

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.
