Therapists in Los Altos, CA
Working with adults and teens, my experience is largely with mood and anxiety disorders, particularly Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This includes work with people at all stages of recovery from substance abuse and with survivors of sexual abuse. In addition, I partner with physicians in helping people live well with chronic pain or chronic medical conditions. I also have expertise in family work - helping people to negotiate the challenges of divorce and remarriage, and enhancing the lives of intercultural and interracial families. My approach is grounded in mindfulness, cognitive behavioral, and attachment theories.

I believe that my role as a therapist is to join with the client in understanding him/her/themself better. I facilitate the journey of self-exploration, believing that change comes through identifying and articulating thoughts and emotions in the process of an interpersonal relationship and more directive strategies if indicated. I have a calm, gentle demeanor that creates a supportive and nurturing setting.

How we grew up, our experiences (or even the lack of them), our successes and failures, the people who raised us, the times we felt loved (and the times we haven't), are all part of who we are, how we view the world, our triggers, our needs, our dreams and aspirations. It’s part of how we relate to ourselves, and how we relate to others and it has a substantial effect on each and every one of our relationships throughout life, including the one with ourselves.
