Elders (65+) Therapists in Campbell, CA

Are you lonely, feeling depressed and hopeless thinking that life has passed you by? Are you struggling with a transition in your life: empty nest, divorce, newly married, or the loss of a loved one or a new job? I have worked with individuals, couples and families struggling with these issues. I help clients acquire direction and tools to move beyond old "non working"patterns in their lives. I work to see your growth through empowerment, direction and education.

My typical client is a child or young adult who is struggling in school. My job is to determine why he or she is struggling and to prescribe solutions. To do this I must have a full picture of the individual's strengths and areas of need. I also see adults and seniors . I have many years of experience of assisting people of a wide variety of ages and assist parents through the school system and through their lives. Please call if you have questions that I might be able to answer.

I believe therapy can provide a safe space for creating a more fulfilled life. There are times where we may experience traumas, feel stuck and emotionally disconnected, and have difficulty coping. My approach to therapy includes a humanistic centered style, where we establish a collaborative and trusting relationship to allow for vulnerability and personal growth to occur. I am committed to providing compassionate and empathetic care to support you in your journey towards self-discovery, where we can explore and identify your strengths, build confidence, and self- esteem.

Seeking help can be scary and exciting, and it takes a lot of bravery and courage to take the initial step. You may be feeling like you are depressed and anxious due to your trauma. I aim to meet you where you are mentally and emotionally and help you grow, learn skills, and adapt to new changes. We can work together to identify your goals and needs and address the emotional and behavioral challenges you experience.

Grief can feel isolating, even though you may be surrounded with people who wish you well. When grieving a loss, it may be difficult to talk with friends or family members about your experience. I invite you to share your emotions and will provide a space for you to find your bearings as you begin your healing journey. To support you I bring an open heart and work with expressive arts, nature therapy, process therapy and mindfulness. Moving beyond words through breath, art and nature allows us to mourn our losses and begin to heal.

I utilize a client centered approach in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions.

I believe that we all have the capacity to heal, grow, find choice, and create meaning in our lives. When we are met with unconditional acceptance and tenderness, this capacity can flourish—no matter what we have been through in the past or are struggling with now. I see therapy as safe, spacious relationship in which you can experience yourself in new ways, develop curiosity and compassion towards yourself, and tap into your own unique healing wisdom.

I specialize in treating adolescents and adults with trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions and addiction.

You wake up each morning unsatisfied. You are aware that you are not living up to your full potential while anxiety, depression, trauma or stress are preventing you from realizing your true nature. Your relationships might feel inauthentic or limited and you are craving a deeper connection to yourself, others and life.

My goal as a Mental Health Professional is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to my clients, to breathe, to be, to experience unconditional acceptance, positive reflection, and create alternative narratives and visions for themselves.

Note: apologies, no immigration evals done. Welcome! Thank you for taking the time to review my profile! If we're left to our own devices we might find going in circles or stuck.

In therapy I will work as your ally from a non judgmental stance and respect your own individual sense of agency.
