Therapists in Cupertino, CA

I value opportunities to connect with my clients in unique and creative ways through humor, a love of animals, art, and connecting with nature. Through art, writing, and creative outlets I believe we can heal, and work towards integrating the broken parts of self. My approach to the therapeutic process is collaborative and goal-driven. I see my role in clients' lives as one that is temporary; my goal is to equip you with the tools, insights, and renewed hope that will allow you to move forward without need for my help.

My passion is supporting people to overcome the anxiousness that keeps them stuck. My style is very relational, which means I believe our connection in therapy is what matters most. Therapy can be uncomfortable and push us to be vulnerable, so it is important to build trust before we dig deeper. The value of our work together is you get CLARITY about who you are, what you want, and how to get there. Often times our traumas or anxieties keep us stuck living in patterns we don't know how to shake. Let's sort it out together and get you on a path that lets you enjoy life.

My ideal client is anyone—individuals, couples, or families—yearning for a compassionate and culturally attuned therapeutic journey. They face life's challenges with resilience, eager to embrace the vibrancy of feeling "alive." Seeking a therapist who comprehends the impact of social inequities on wellness and life quality, they aligns with my values. Together, we navigate towards the restoration of a beloved community, unlocking the fullness of their lives beyond the burdens. My commitment lies in fostering a therapeutic space where they feel profoundly "seen" and empowered to pursue the desires of their hearts.

I have an extensive background in providing psychotherapy for individual adults, couples, adolescents and traditional as well as non-traditional families from various ethnic, cultural, religious and socio-economic backgrounds. I believe that everyone has strengths and all the ingredients to acquire self-love, peace and happiness. My job is to help a client tap into those strengths and ingredients. My job is to provide a platform for which clients can begin to identify and experience healthy ways to be in a relationship with others and themselves.

Hi, I'm glad you're here. I wonder if you ever feel like you’re not good enough? Maybe it feels like there’s something wrong with you that other people don’t seem to struggle with. I wonder if relationships feel hard for you and if doing things like asking someone out on a date, applying for a job, asking for help when you need it or setting boundaries with people feel really scary or impossible to do? Maybe you’re looking to better understand these parts of yourself and to find ways to make changes to these areas of your life. If so, I might be able to help.

Each of us are unique individuals; complex and ever-changing. We are often affected by family, relationships, work, and even spiritual dynamics. I strive to understand my clients' point of view so that I may collaboratively develop a treatment plan that is as unique as they are.

Are you a parent, couple, or individual struggling with your relationships? Are you having difficulty communicating your feelings, needs, and wants? Or, when you do, it comes out as frustration, anger, and resentment? Struggling with these issues can feel overwhelming and disheartening. I work in-depth with my clients to help bridge the communication gap, increase effective communication skills, reduce combative and reactionary conversations in order to promote dialogue, and build trust and respect in relationships.

Are you looking for a therapist who understands Boundaries can be Terrifying to set & defend, Change can feel Debilitating but Necessary, & Conversations even the most well-intentioned ones can sometimes still turn into Conflict in no time? A therapist who can be frank with you when needs be? Or maybe you're just looking for a therapist who will finally understand your pop culture references & can find a tv show or movie to better convey pretty much any life occurrence.lol On a serious note, therapy can be hard but necessary maintenance of the mind, & though it’s it shouldn’t be taken lightly, it doesn’t have to be daunting either.

I value helping to foster a secure space and use an integrative approach to help clients feel empowered to reach their personal goals. Intersectionality has been paramount on my own personal healing journey and I have had the opportunity to work with clients who benefit from the same lens.
