I offer attachment-focused individual, family and child therapy in California for those navigating emotional dysregulation, behavioral challenges, trauma, and relational stress. If you find youself caught between aspirations and reality - saying words you promised you'd never say, feeling lost in you child's emotional storms, or struggling to bridge cultural gaps in your family connections, you are in the right place. Many parents notice themselves wanting desperately to break family patterns but feeling trapped in familiar cycles.
The path of parenthood often brings unexpected struggles:
Finding yourself disconnected from your young child in ways that feel impossible to bridge
Experiencing constant power struggles over seemingly simple daily routines
Wrestling with how your own childhood experiences influence your parenting decisions
Feeling confused when traditional parenting methods don't seem to work for your family
Many parents share a common vision of what they hope to achieve:

Understanding their child's behavioral communications, feeling confident in their parenting decisions, and creating stronger, more secure family bonds. They dream of handling challenging moments while maintaining connection and building a family environment that honors the individuals while upholding their heritage and growth.
A Therapeutic Partnership
A Therapeutic Partnership
In my practice, family therapy focuses on strengthening the connection between parents and children, siblings and loved ones. I specialize in helping families navigate challenges in attachment and bonding, interpersonal challenges, communication and navigating multi-cultural differences to create more nurturing and attuned relationships.
Our sessions create a safe space where cultural values and your family traditions are honored and integrated. All individuals feel heard and understood, while struggles are viewed through a lens of connection rather than control. Together, we explore patterns without judgment and practice new ways of relating.
My Approach
My Approach
I center our work on relationships rather than just behavior, considering the whole family unit rather than isolated "problems." By integrating cultural understanding and acknowledging generational patterns. We will focus on strengthening attachment bonds using play and interaction as powerful tools for change.
Through our work together, you may notice more moments of genuine connection, better understanding of each-other's needs and behaviors, and increased connection. Many families experience fewer power struggles, more cooperation, and a stronger sense of family unity.

Our work focuses on creating secure bonds through consistent, responsive interactions. We will explore understanding and responding to attachment needs while building trust and emotional security. When ruptures occur we work together on repair and rebuilding.

Our work together will guide you through the many developmental phases young children face, integrating positive discipline to give you the tools to help you navigate daily challenges including tantrums, transitions, academic challenges, aggressive behaviors, defiance, refusal following directions, talking back behaviors, and other stressors, to provide you and your child the tools you need to thrive.
