Got Anxiety? What would it be like if those negative thoughts and feelings subsided and left you feeling more peaceful and calm? Move through life with greater ease and confidence. Reduce the effects of past traumatic experiences, tone down that negative self-talk, and replace those negative mind movies with more optimistic thoughts - naturally. Reduce the effects of inner conflicts that have prevented you from getting your goals - whether you are aware of them or not. Chances are you have tried other modalities and used some tools and they only worked for a short period of time. Make a long-term change by re-programming your mind.

Therapy is a wonderful opportunity for personal growth. It is also helpful in overcoming common symptoms such as anxiety and depression, for improving relationships and for changing behaviors that may hinder quality of life. It is common to experience hesitation or ambivalence when starting therapy, much like many other new beginnings. I encourage you to try. People frequently report feeling better just by taking the first step of calling and making a first appointment. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which, together, we will explore, understand and conquer the obstacles you have encountered in your journey.

As a clinical psychologist, I have over 30 yrs experience helping clients work through life's difficult challenges. I work with parents and children to address developmental and behavioral difficulties and to find solutions to the unique challenges of adolescence. I often work with young adults to help them manage transitions into independence and adult responsibilities. With adults, I facilitate their work toward relief from symptoms generated by psychological conditions or from traumatic events in their past.

My training as a licensed MFT has taught me to treat a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, parenting issues, relationship problems and trauma. I also have advanced training and experience working with PTSD, past trauma, panic and phobias. My goal and passion is to provide you with the tools to create and maintain life-affirming change in order to lead a more balanced and empowered life. I am EMDR trained, which is a powerful method for releasing past trauma and the depression and anxieties that go with it.

My therapeutic style is centered around the development of trust, safety, and client agency and autonomy. My primary goal in working with you is to support and guide you in the exploration and identification of your unique and specific wants and needs; in a safe, open, non-judgmental, and confidential space.

Does your child seem unhappy or angry; maybe having problems at home or school? Are your kids fighting? Do you have a young child who doesn’t listen to you, refuses to sleep in their own bed, won’t eat anything but crackers, or throws a fit when they don’t get their way? Do you find yourself feeling frustrated or angry with your child? Are you tired of fighting with your spouse, or your kids? Maybe your kids are fine but find you, yourself, are feeling overwhelmed. I am here to help. I’m a teacher turned therapist who works with children (0-17) and families, both individually and as a whole.

Life can sometimes be stressful and each person's experience is unique. We all struggle at times with relationships, grief, transitions, school, or work. In times like this, we can use help to navigate these challenges. If this resonates with you, then I can support you to build a life that’s fulfilling for you. As a first-generation immigrant, I can relate to the challenges of balancing different cultural identities. I deeply believe in every human's resiliency, capacity for change, and ability to problem-solve.

At some point in our lives we can come to a place of feeling stuck or trapped, confused, sad or just plain scared of the transitions ahead. Life circumstances can become complicated and threaten to overwhelm. Depression and/or anxiety can compound these moments and leave us feeling rather without direction or hope. I work with adults in digging their way out of these feelings in order to create space and opportunity for themselves where they previously thought there was none.

"As therapists, we are public servants. We have devoted our lives to making something from nothing, to find complex solutions to complex problems. To care and hold space in the face of disaster, trauma and fear. To give assurance and strength and help others rise." - Kirsten Haney LMFT

Often life presents challenges and we feel alone, trapped, and afraid. Right now you may have marital, work, or family problems. You may feel depressed, anxious or having panic attacks. You may feel lonely and not have anybody to turn to for help. I believe I can help you.Together, in therapy, you will learn how to overcome your current challenges and find your way back into a happy and meaningful life. I provide therapy in Spanish and English. I am bilingual/bicultural and I have experience helping couples dealing with cultural differences.I look forward to hearing from you.

I enjoy working with a variety of populations; children, families, couples, adolescents, and geriatric population. I am culturally diverse, and I am bilingual Spanish speaking and I enjoy meeting and hearing people's stories. I use art as a form of expression to allow people to express themselves when words are hard to access. I have many years experience working with children 0-5 and I have an Infant Mental Health Certificate from Santa Clara County. I recently got trained in EMDR (Eye Movement) processing. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe trusting empathetic environment and to empower people to solve your own problems.

I help patients solve their emotional and psychological problems. They learn tools to overcome depression, anxiety, and stress and are facilitated in stopping inappropriate use of food, alcohol and drugs. Parents and stepparents learn skills to become more effective. Patients acquire methods to re-parent themselves as well as techniques in how to be more satisfied in their personal and professional relationships. Individuals gain insights that enhance their ability to feel more confident and be more productive by setting goals to achieve positive results and outcomes. Children and adolescents learn to improve their relationships with themselves and build better social and interpersonal relationships.

Are you constantly feeling frustrated and overwhelmed? Are you experiencing difficulties in your relationships? I would like to help you achieve a sense of peace and connection so that you can lead a satisfying and meaningful life. I work in a compassionate manner by listening to you and focusing on the issues you want to work on. I use evidenced based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to bring you relief from difficult feelings and thoughts that accompany depression and anxiety.

Do you feel stressed or stuck? Do you wish things were different? You can utilize therapy to build alternative ways to cope with life problems and live your life fully.

If you are stuck, thinking the same thoughts over and over, lying awake, unable to turn off your brain - we need to talk! I can help you climb out of your rut, and consider the alternatives. Drawing on several therapeutic modalities, I customize a treatment strategy best suited to your problem, temperament, and personal strengths. With a practice in Los Gatos, I have developed a number of specialties, relevant to the Silicon Valley high-tech, high-achievement, high-pressure environment: anxiety; life-work balance; obesity; chronic pain management; mood disorders; workplace conflict; relationship issues; and coping skills.

As a first generation immigrant and a parent, I have had to navigate parenting issues in a multi-cultural society. I channeled those learnings into parenting classes for parents and social skills classes for teens. Prior to being a therapist, I worked in the hi-tech industry for several years. That exposure helped me understand the demands of corporate life, especially in the fast-paced silicon valley culture.

During the over 20 years I have been in practice I have witnessed how profoundly helpful it is for a person to be listened to with care and attention. My commitment to you is to create a setting that helps you share yourself with someone who initially you don't know - but will come to know. I want to help you feel safe and comfortable enough to speak about your concerns. In addition, we will address your issues with the objective of getting to the source of the problem so that you can feel more long-term relief.

Seeking solutions that bring balance and calm in your life? I offer guided mind body healing therapies such as Hypnotherapy and EFT, that empower you to find solutions for the following issues: PAIN, INSOMNIA, GRIEF, WEIGHT, ANXIETY, STRESS, TRAUMA, HABITS, CRAVINGS, RELATIONSHIPS, or PAST LIVES. Hypnotherapy can be effective in building a bridge between the conscious mind and subconscious mind in order to explore the source and solutions of emotional, mental, and physical issues. This expanded state of consciousness allows for genuine realizations and the motivation to implement lasting transformations.
