Therapists in Los Gatos, CA

No matter how well we have our lives put together, each and every one of us will experience challenges that are difficult to navigate alone. But you don't have to wait until a crisis hits. It's never to soon to develop the tools you need to weather life's storms. I have worked with children, families, couples, and individuals at every stage of life, treating anxiety and depression, trauma, grief, transitions, and codependency. I welcome people from all walks of life: all genders, sexual orientations, sizes, cultural backgrounds, relationship styles, and more.

Do you feel stressed out at home, work or school? Are you struggling to understand your partner or child? Are you tired of having the same argument over and over? Are you experiencing a constant worry that keeps you awake at night? Do you feel difficulty in trying to connect with others? Are you having trouble figuring out the next step in your career? Therapy can help!

Struggling in your relationships? Reeling from infidelity? Seeking a greater sense of meaning and purpose in life? Want to improve communication, trust, and intimacy with your partner? Are you grappling with a life transition— like the death of a loved one, loss of a job, moving, end of a relationship, retirement, the process of aging? Are you held back from having the life you want due to anxiety, stress, overwhelm, or low self esteem? Do you struggle to manage your weight only to be undone by binge eating and emotional eating?

Life is a continuous cycle of experience and interpretation. When faced with challenging circumstances, or when powerful emotions overwhelm our senses, it’s easy to lose control of that cycle. As a mental health professional, my goal is to build awareness of how our experiences impact the beliefs we hold about ourselves and the world around us. I’ve seen firsthand the power of mindfulness to unlock positive change and nurture an environment for growth.

For over 30 years, I have specialized in working with individuals and couples who are looking for a deep, transformative experience in therapy that resolves core issues and not just symptoms. I help my clients heal life long attachment wounds and change deep seated negative patterns, facilitating a greater capacity for intimacy, joy, inner peace, and confidence. I draw upon several approaches including EMDR for the resolution of past trauma and addictions, psychodynamic (childhood issues), Couples Systems, Jungian dream analysis, meditative practices, somatic focused therapy, and techniques from the latest neuroscience research.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience and training working with teens, young adults, parents and families. I am passionate in engaging with clients interested in collaboratively working with me. I attended school in the Bay Area and understand the pressures to perform; including stress related to school, achievement focus, overwhelm and the adjustment to high school and/or college. I aim to help cope with and manage challenges associated to major life transitions. I facilitate middle-school group and enjoy providing parent-focused therapy to enhance relationships and improve communication.

Feeling stressed and anxious? Can’t sleep? Sad and hopeless? Maybe you’re struggling with your career or health? Is it the feeling that you’re falling behind and can’t keep up with everything and everyone in Silicon Valley? My practice offers support and tools when dealing with uncertainty and performance pressure, sleep problems, anxiety, and parenting challenges, as well as the impacts of ADHD and other neurodiversity. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and relatable. My goal is to create an environment where you feel safe to explore healthier ways to cope with life stressors while growing into the person you set out to be.

Available Now: in-person and online therapy for adults and couples. Feeling stuck like nothing is changing? Feeling unseen and unheard? Do you find yourself with a short fuse with your loved ones? I offer a safe space to discuss your feelings and explore what might need changing in your life. Don't let your mind take you down dark roads. I will offer you a different perspective on what is happening for you. I will help you make sense of your feelings and learn to trust yourself. Relationships can be very challenging, not just romantic relationships. I will help you navigate your relationships to be authentic and free from guilt.

We all have a need for connection, love and support. When we share our stories, we can form a new standpoint and choose different pathways to walk in this life. When we face life’s difficulties, I believe it is possible to find new perspectives and cultivate hope. Moving forward together, we can make a plan for change and recovery based on your goals. My style of relating to others is warm, caring, and collaborative. I offer a therapy experience grounded in respect, truth, objective reality, and compassion. I love to find the humor in everyday life, as humor can help us to withstand hardships.

Our experiences form an unconscious ‘blueprint’, which shapes our beliefs and aspirations, but also the fears and challenges we face. Gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and the patterns that run your life allows you the freedom to make new choices and respond differently, transforming your relationships with yourself and others. In our work together, I will support you on your journey towards self-awareness that can lead to a profound change. My therapeutic approach is warm, direct and authentic. I believe feeling safe, accepted and heard are all critical elements for therapy to succeed.

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.

If you are considering ways to make your life better today, I can help you identify what keeps you stuck and develop new strategies so that you can make successful changes in your life. I am a collaborative and compassionate therapist who will provide support and practical feedback to help you address your personal life challenges.

The guiding purpose of my practice is to create an accepting and supportive environment for all my clients. My focus is building a genuine therapeutic relationship through trust and empathy so that clients feel safe and heard.

I believe that a successful working relationship is woven together with factors that lend trust and confidence to our process. These elements include my professional training and experience, our comfort zone allowing us to build an important bridge, and your motivation to work on the issues at hand. The most important ingredients for successful therapy are trust, fit, chemistry and motivation.
