OPEN WEEKDAY EVENINGS & SATURDAYS!!! I know life can be difficult and you are the expert of your life. It would be my privilege to help you achieve in therapy and work with you on your goals so you feel heard and validated. I work with adults and children struggling with depression, anxiety, and/or marital/relationship conflict. I can help families deal with: parent/child conflicts, school discipline, or performance problems, behavior problems and/or any other problems of daily teenage living. I am genuinely honored to have the opportunity to help you.

Hello, welcome to my profile. I'd like to introduce myself and give you a sense of who I am as a clinician. If you prefer not to read, please don’t hesitate to reach out for a phone consultation. My aim is to help you help yourself. You are both the expert on yourself and you also know what you want more than anyone else. As your therapist I develop an authentic bond to support you in this process of change that you wish to make. I am an advocate for your voice, and your needs at any point along the healing journey. While my job is to guide you through the process, at the end of the day true recovery is your journey.

There are times in life that we find ourselves struggling to make sense of something that has happened or trying to figure out what is holding us back from being our best selves. We all have those relationships (friends/work/family/romantic), life changes, and even impactful events that affect us on deeper levels and influence our decisions, whether we know it or not. If you are seeking assistance with exploring past or present issues in your life, I am here to offer support and guidance. We all need a little extra help sometimes so why wait any longer to ask?

If you’re feeling stuck after trying to work things out on your own, then therapy could help you move forward. I’d like to help you break old patterns, find joy in your life, and build a better life. Let's work together to overcome the issues causing indecisiveness, performance issues, and low self-esteem. Together, we'll create a way for you to meet your potential, break old patterns, and start on a better path forward.

I specialize in working with youth and their parents who are experiencing anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, and/or school challenges. I focus on helping families improve communication, skill development while increasing their growth and healing. I am also an experienced parent coach and have taught countless parenting courses within our community.

Do you feel a lack of meaning in your life? Do you often feel fragmented, lonely, or disconnected? We get stuck sometimes and it can make us feel hopeless. Therapy is a process in which we can begin to feel relief from the hopelessness and despair and move towards wholeness, meaningfulness, and connection. Many of my patients find that they are able to experience a greater understanding of themselves and make sense of their experiences in the world, leading to an increased sense of peace, acceptance, reduction in symptoms, and increased level of functioning - long lasting change that can help you feel more whole and fully alive.

My approach focuses on helping you understand yourself and develop a compassionate relationship with your Self. With humor and gentleness, I will help you find blind spots and obstacles and help you clear the way to your best life. Along the way, I can teach you how to listen and trust your Self, empower you and give you tools to navigate life's most difficult obstacles. I especially enjoy working with people from various backgrounds and concerns such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, abuse and trauma, relationship issues, parenting problems, grief, life transitions, feeling "stuck" and stagnant, and existential questions.

My job as a therapist is to help you take a step back from your life through mindfulness and really get to the heart of what's going on. We'll look at the ways your inner critic has sabotaged your life so far, all the ways you try to appease your inner critic by shutting yourself down, and discover what your life could look like if you didn't have to worry about the voice of shame popping up. We'll do a deep dive into your history to discover where the inner critic came from and the core beliefs that keep it alive.

What brings you to therapy at this moment of your life? Maybe you are struggling in your relationships with family, friends or coworkers. You might be feeling depressed, anxious or disconnected from yourself and others. Perhaps, something is missing in your life, something that keeps you from feeling joy or being present. You might be experiencing the impact of painful experiences or losses in your life. I believe that what brings you here is important. I am here to join you in your journey of self-exploration and personal growth.

Do you find your current relationship(s) disappointing, have trouble keeping relationships or finding one at all? Our patients have concerns about how trauma impacts their daily life. They often report that food feels overwhelming and confusing. We will track and understand the unsettling and yet important feelings you have about yourself, your past, your food intake and your relationships with others. Common topics addressed in session include anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulty, feeling out of control with food, concerns about sex and more.

If you're feeling the weight of life's challenges, experiencing a general sense of dissatisfaction or struggling to find a balance in your life, I'd like to offer my support. Creating a time and space to focus on you is a great first step to increasing satisfaction and happiness. With a holistic based training, I will work with you to see with new perspectives and new possibilities. Everyone's path in life is unique, and together we can explore what is right for you, to improve your connections both with others and with yourself.

I am honored to work with you and your family or significant other(s) and appreciate your trust in allowing me to assist you in addressing your life issues. Together we will explore what changes you are desiring and what is needed to feel, behave or think differently. I have worked in the Community Mental Health Field for over 25 years and have a multi-cultural and strength based perspective.

I arrive at the intersection of compassion & collaboration as I respectfully guide my clients to explore new levels of awareness, self-empowerment, flow, & understanding. Working towards cognitive flexibility, wholeness, and healing. Using empathy & unconditional positive regard as a foundation, I may occasionally challenge you to bring forward awareness with a more direct approach. I welcome the motivation or perhaps ambivalence that comes along with seeking treatment. There is no perfection in the layers that define us, just a journey of experiences & lessons that await discovery, growth and honor.

Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or just curious about yourself? Perhaps you are caught in situations beyond your control while juggling work, relationships, or caring for loved ones. At whatever stage you are in life, my goal is to help you find greater clarity, cope, and ultimately thrive in the face of life's challenges.

My main goal is to provide a supportive environment for you to identify what obstacles are preventing you from living a more satisfying life. Together, we will explore your resiliency and tools that you already have in your "tool box" to overcome such challenges. I have experience providing support to individuals with depression, anxiety, and anger management issues, trauma and trauma recovery, crisis intervention, processing previous and recent sexual assault or sexual abuse, and adolescent emotional/behavioral issues.

Liffey Health is a values driven practice operated by mental health professionals committed to providing a space for people to heal when they need it most. Liffey Health is an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, community. We aim to provide the physical, emotional, and mental environment to allow change to occur. A variety of considerations have been taken into account to provide you or your loved one this space. Some things we take into consideration are being explicitly mindful of the inherent power imbalance between provider and patient, and striving to include each patient in their treatment process. We have several comfortable places to sit, with pillow, blankets and soft lighting. If you cannot be physically comfortable, psychotherapy is more difficult. We also provide a variety of snacks and drinks, and private areas to relax if you need a break from the group. We always welcome suggestions, including dietary restrictions.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with a private practice in Santa Clara, CA. I provided services to children, teens, and families. I offers support with behavioral concerns, anger, anxiety, depression, and parenting.

We help teens and adults who are struggling to cope with distress, manage difficult emotions, and build harmonious relationships with family and friends. We work with those who are: feeling irritable or depressed; anxious, on edge, or constantly worrying; experiencing school or work stress; having difficulty focusing or completing tasks; having difficulty sleeping; struggling to communicate without escalation or shutting down; feeling out of control or irrational at times; drinking, using substances, cutting, running away, or other risky behaviors; and are seeking new ways to cope.

Knowing you can use some help and seeking out that help are signs of strength and courage. Therapy is not just helpful for getting to the bottom of an issue, but is often a much healthier alternative to treating symptoms alone. In therapy,we will work together to determine what treatment is best for you.

"When there's hope, there's a way"... I am an award winning author, international lecturer, consultant, and therapist for individual, couples, families, and children/adolescents, with a warm, non-judgmental and collaborative style. If your life is not as satisfying as it could be, and you have that secret wish things could be different, it may be worth trying to talk about it; sometimes a single meeting can make a difference and reconnect you with inner peace, fresh ideas, or a clearer, empowering direction.
