If you need support in improving the connections in your family with your parents, your children, your spouse, or even just with yourself, please reach out to me.
As the world has grown smaller with access to so much instant information, children and families are feeling overwhelmed. As families try to cope from this place of overwhelm, their relationships and connections can suffer. Childhood trauma can also play a part in the way we shape our families. Recognizing and understanding generational trauma is the first step in creating your family differently. Sometimes adults need help in order to help their children.

Do YOU feel stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck? Regardless of what has you-stuck or how long you have been stuck, it’s no fun being in that position. Yet, many of us live almost our entire lives in that position. Held captive by our own minds, family issues, generational strongholds, trauma, relationships, significant losses, and other stressors. Sometimes we can go years and not even realize that we are not actually living. I feel your pain, but…I also see your potential. It takes a moment of pain and struggle in order for you to have a major breakthrough and gain momentum again. There is purpose and power in your pain.

Whether you’re reading this for yourself, for your family, or as a couple I can help you make things better.
One of the hardest things is feeling like we have hurt or disappointed those closest to us. It’s a struggle every day to keep relationships and even friendships going smoothly. We often disappoint ourselves, and life hasn’t always been what we hoped it would be. Maybe things look good on the surface but inside we feel like everyone else has it figured out while we barely keep it together. It doesn’t have to feel like this, and I can help you feel better through therapy. While in therapy with me you will definitely laugh, you might cry, and you will see changes in your life that you’ve wanted for a long time.

perinatal mood disorders, trauma, family and relationship issues, and other mental/emotional health concerns.
Many of my clients come to me looking to improve their overall wellbeing - decrease anxiety, improve relationships, assist in adjusting to a new life season, working through challenges that have been presented in their life at some point - trauma, family of origin issues, or other unaddressed concerns. Though I have had many clients who participate in solution focused/shorter term therapy, the majority of my clients are interested in longer-term work and looking for a therapist with a relational/person centered style.

As an immigrant, understanding culture and family relations helps guide the treatment of my clients.
I like to work with children, adolescents, and adults using the creative process to support and encourage young people to understand themselves, their issues, and the world. We all have problems in life, and mental health-related concerns are some that need our attention daily. Children experience the same problems that we as adults do. However, they may look and feel different due to their development and emotional strength. Each family may have different goals and needs; understanding and focusing on each child and patient and their needs is important, and having verbal and non-verbal ways to do so can be what is needed.

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.
