"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I change."

- Carl Rogers

My approach

As a licensed psychotherapist specializing in marriage and family therapy, my passion lies in guiding individuals, couples, and adult families through the intricate dynamics of their relationships with themselves and others. I embrace a Radical Healing framework in therapy, delving beyond individual concerns to explore the systemic and cultural injustices that shape mental health and relational well-being.

In our sessions, I provide a nurturing and non-judgmental space to delve into your family dynamics, communication patterns, past experiences, values, and aspirations. Together, we uncover the challenges impeding your growth, including the intergenerational and collective traumas that may linger beneath the surface, leaving a legacy passed down through generations until identified and addressed.

By confronting these inherited wounds, we collaboratively confront unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, reassess beliefs, and cultivate radical self-acceptance and compassion.

I firmly believe in each individual's inherent resilience and capacity for growth. My role is to be your companion as you access these inner resources and become more self-aware. This may entail exploring uncomfortable or painful aspects of your past, including trauma and memories that evoke shame or guilt. However, through this process, I am dedicated to empowering you as the architect of your healing journey, facilitating the creation of a life and relationships that align with your values and aspirations.

If you're prepared to embark on a growth, healing, and transformation journey, I'm here to provide unwavering support at every stage. I will provide you with a safe, compassionate, and action-oriented space where you can freely express yourself, receive validation, and embark on lasting personal evolution.

Take the first step towards building a life in alignment with your values by scheduling a session with me today!

Radical Healing

is a framework that recognizes that healing is not just about fixing individual problems, but about addressing systemic and cultural injustices that contribute to ongoing oppression and marginalization. This approach prioritizes creating a safe, non-judgmental, and inclusive space for individuals to express their thoughts and feelings freely, and be heard and validated. It acknowledges the impact of societal and cultural forces on individuals and their relationships and works towards empowering individuals to develop resilience and resistance against these forces. With Radical Healing, individuals are encouraged to be the architects of their own healing journey, and work towards creating a more intentional, fulfilling, and meaningful life.

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”

Carl Jung
