I have experience working with individuals, couples and family systems who happen to find themselves stuck due to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, traumas and abuses (both past and present), identity concerns, spirituality, personality disorders, life stage transitions, and grief.
What is the point of insight if nothing changes? What is the point of change if we lack insight as to why it even did? Through our conversations I’d like to help you to see, both yourself and your situation, in an authentic light with a new perspective that sticks with you long after you leave the therapy room.

My approach to therapy utilizes the individual & family's cultural values, ideals, beliefs and spirituality to increase empowerment.
Often the struggles and barriers we face are opportunities to envision what we really want for our lives. I am here as a child & family therapist to join with you and your family where you are at in the moment, and to walk beside you towards where you hope to be. TOGETHER we will get to the heart of what really matters. I believe that each individual, from child to adult, has unique strengths to build upon. My approach establishes the foundation of treatment on these innate strengths to overcome challenges, as to move towards increased life satisfaction & healthy relationships.

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.
