"Sometimes just being listened to makes all the difference. I provide a safe and confidential setting where I can help you look at your current life from a broader perspective. Clients tend to discover ways to make their life easier and lighter with moments of joy and satisfaction. What do you wish for? Where are you headed? Is this the direction you want? My approach is present-focused; past events are useful components for further understanding. I provide brief-therapy for those with situational or short-term issues. A practical, holistic approach includes skill-building for increased self-confidence."

"As a board-certified neuropsychologist and a Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford University, I provide individualized and comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations for adults and adolescents. I focus on an evidence-based approach to a comprehensive assessment of cognitive strengths, weaknesses, overall functioning (e.g., intellectual ability, attention, memory, speed of processing, problem-solving, work and college interests), behavioral and psychological factors. I know that many invisible factors such as poor sleep, fatigue, stress, depression, anxiety can all impact your cognitive health. As such, I believe that it is important to address all of these factors in order to clarify the diagnosis."

"If you are stuck in the habits of thought that had not served you well for some time - we need to talk! I can help you step out of your rut, and consider the alternatives. Drawing on several psychotherapeutic modalities, I customize a treatment strategy best suited to your problem, temperament, and personal strengths. With an office in Los Gatos, I have developed a number of specialties, germane to Silicon Valley living: anxiety; life-work balance; obesity; chronic pain; substance abuse; workplace issues; relationship issues; parenting; and acculturation. I can even help you reconcile with your co-founder! (not kidding)"

"In a world where everyone's opinions, along with our own inner critic, can be an undesired driving force, I help others to find peace by encountering the depths of their empowerment, resourcefulness, and compassion. I focus on strengthening one's abilities to develop a foundation of inner trust, which enables them to experience more meaning, purpose and passion for life, regardless of the challenges they face. As a result I continually have the opportunity to witness individuals create new ways of relating with others, themselves, and "life" in general, that are fulfilling, playful, and deeply connected."

"It's important to me that you feel understood and supported. My space is a place of encouragement and growth. Whatever your issue(s), we can tackle them in a place of respect and warmth. My practice is well established and I can assure you that if I can't provide what you need I'll refer you to someone who can."

"If you're looking for a safe, warm and gentle space to find peace and clarity for yourself or your child, I'd love to partner with you in your healing work. My passion is guiding children, teens and adults to develop their inner wisdom, to cultivate tools for peace and grounding, and to reconnect with nature. I utilize a holistic approach for your whole being, addressing mind, body and soul. Together we'll develop a healing plan with modalities such as Ecotherapy, CBT, DBT, Art Therapy or Reiki, tailoring treatment to your needs."

"I currently work with children, adolescents, families, couples, and individuals who are experiencing symptoms caused by relational and emotional challenges including depression, stress and anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, marital conflict, behavioral problems (e.g., irritability, defiance, oppositionality), academic performance, lack of motivation, anger management, hyperactivity, impulsivity, grief and loss, and family transitions (e.g., recent moves, separation, divorce, blended and step families, new born children)."

"Entering into the right therapeutic relationship is the first step toward healing and change. Working collaboratively we will explore the origins of any problems or pain you have be struggling with, at a pace that is safe and comfortable for you. As mental and emotional material is explored, the ability to experience greater freedom and enjoyment in your relationships, work, and family life will become more readily accessible and tangible in daily life."

"If you are considering ways to make your life better today, I can help you identify what keeps you stuck and develop new strategies so that you can make successful changes in your life. I am a collaborative and compassionate therapist who will provide support and practical feedback to help you address your personal life challenges."

"Welcome! Working with couples is my specialty. My intention is to help you heal and grow your relationship, so each individual feels appreciated, understood and respected. One of the most important qualities a couple can foster is kindness towards their partner, which may sound obvious and simple, yet can be extremely difficult to practice and maintain in a long term relationship. A foundation of productive and compassionate communication is necessary for working through issues as they come up. With the right tools, issues can be resolved and you can both move on feeling good about the interaction and each other."

"EVENING AND WEEKEND AVAILABILITY. Do you often feel sad, anxious, or stressed? Has it been difficult for you to regulate your emotions? Does your child have difficulty regulating their emotions or following directions? There is hope! I may be able to help. You might require tools in order to manage your symptoms in healthier ways. Are you experiencing difficulties within parenting? Stress at work? Conflict with your partner? I am able to create a safe space where trust is established and problems can be explored. You are the expert of your life and I strive to assist you to create healthier habits."

"Good therapy experiences are based on an engaged and profoundly honest conversation that is collaborative, imaginative, thoughtful, and touched with a little grace. We open ourselves to the transforming power of our intuition when we feel truly heard, understood, and encouraged to risk being different. I believe this offers us the opportunity to stretch ourselves and live lives which are more free, creative, and emotionally generous."

"In a culture that is fast paced with heavy demands on our time, so many of us do not have safe spaces to reflect, feel, listen and learn about ourselves. This can lead to dis-ease. I believe that providing a warm, judgement free space to discover and untangle some of the thoughts, feelings and experiences that bind us can lead to greater freedom of choice, better health and overall wellness. We all hold the answers to the peace we are looking for."

"Have you been experiencing unexplained anxiety or panic attacks? Maybe you've gone through a major life transition and don't feel quite yourself. Are you waking up each morning with low energy and a sense of dread thinking about the day in front of you? We have ALL been there and - good news! - this will not last forever. Imagine a life where anxiety doesn't hold you back from doing the things you love. Or looking at this new phase in your life with clear eyes and excitement. Imagine for a moment waking up each day with energy and optimism!"

"I help clients become uplifted, release blocks, change their beliefs and habits, control pain, overcome fears, grief and depression. I have a spiritual and transpersonal orientation to counseling, helping clients become aware of their higher self and inner power so they can make positive changes in their lives. I assist clients in releasing anxieties, overcoming and preventing panic attacks, insomnia, unhealthy eating and drinking habits, smoking and other addictions. I also work with children, helping them to overcome bed-wetting, nightmares, tantrums & ADHD behavior. I love assisting pregnant women to learn hypnobirthing methods for labor pain and natural birth."

"Are you looking to feel more connected to yourself and others? Do you feel trapped in certain areas of your life? I have been a psychotherapist 20 years and am passionate about this work. I work with teens, adults, and mental health professionals and can effectively address issues that keep you feeling depressed, anxious, and disconnected from yourself and others. I want to help you make the necessary changes to have the life you desire. Therapy isn't about finding out what is wrong with you, it is about building on what is RIGHT with you."

"Good therapy happens when you can have an honest conversation that will lead you in that direction. You want to be heard, understood, and encouraged, to explore and re-discover what you feel passionate and enlivened about. Perhaps you feel stuck, frustrated and discouraged ~ in your relationship with a significant other or with life in general and you want to make some fundamental changes and need some guidance and support. I can help with this. Call me for a free 15 min consultation."

"Therapy is an opportunity to witness oneself in a very intimate manner in a very safe place. So often we go through life in auto mode without taking the time to carefully and deeply explore the choices we make, the reasons behind the choices and the way in which we learned to define, and also limit, ourselves in the process. This auto mode can result in psychological pain such as depression, anxiety, compulsivity, low self-esteem, unhappy and unfulfilling relationships and lives without purpose."

"The joy of my work is to help both children and adults identify their strengths so that the weak areas do not define who they are. I am a clinical neuropsychologist, which means I am a licensed psychologist with expertise in how behavior and skills are related. I help families and their children who are struggling, and I help teachers with the students they want to help more efficiently. These evaluations are also used in school IEP's and for SAT and ACT accommodations. I also provide therapy and groups for parenting techniques and for those struggling with a traumatic history."
