ABOUT ME
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with an in-depth orientation in Somatic psychotherapy, trauma work and family system work. I have been trained in both conventional and body-oriented approaches to counseling and psychotherapy, including the Hakomi Method and Family constellation work. I have been working for more than 10 years with individuals, couples, children and family systems of all possible configurations. As an individual who calls different communities (immigrant, trauma survivor, adult child of a dysfunctional family system, queer parent, trans, poly) his home, I enjoy working with a wide range of personal diversity and uniqueness. I believe in spirit, magic, and the healing power of universal energies.
I feel and have always felt very passionate about working with individuals to help them heal their personal selves and wider family systems. I have seen over and over again how therapy can transform individual lives and repair families. As a survivor of multigenerational family trauma, I've been doing this work on a smaller scale for most of my life in my own family system and I want to pass on all the teachings and gifts I have received throughout all these years. I want to have a positive impact on the world we are living in by helping to create more peace, choice, and harmony within its little microcosms, especially at a time like this where chaos, uncertainty, unpredictability and repetitive trauma seem rampant. Our families, chosen, and biological, are tiny units of the world community. We have to start healing ourselves within our families first in order to create a world in which we all want to live.
