Adults Therapists in Los Gatos, CA

I have experience working with children, teens, families and young adults around trauma, eating disorders, depression, and anxiety. It's not uncommon to seek therapy when feeling overwhelmed with stress, struggling in a relationship, or experiencing strong negative emotions or thoughts. Wanting to "feel better" without understanding just how a therapist is supposed to help, isn't unusual either. During our initial consultation we'll dicuss what you're hoping to get out of therapy; I'll then provide information on how I might use my training, skills, and experience, to help you move forward in the best way possible.

I bring empathy, compassion and 30 years of experience to my holistic work with adults , children and teens. You are unique and my intent is to listen for your strengths and build on the positive as we gently remove blocks, trauma, thoughts, stressors and old relationship patterns that are holding you back. My style is warm and interactive and I incorporate my own intuition and creativity as I help people to make meaningful life changes.

Asking for help isn't always easy, but we aren't meant to endure life's challenges alone. Reaching out for help is itself a brave and beautiful act of self love, and in doing so you will prove to yourself the depth of your abilities and the unlimited potential for growth which you possess. I believe you are capable of so much, and my goal is to work collaboratively with you to help you achieve what you want to get out of your one, incredible life.

My practise consists of individual adults and couples. I enjoy working with high functioning patients. Many of my patients have or are experiencing infertility. Other issues I like to work with are stress, work stress, relocation, grief, depression, anxiety, marital/couple issues, and womens' issues.

Do you find that despite your best efforts, changing your responses to stressors eludes you? Emotions are in the driver's seat and you feel like you're just along for the ride, hanging on for dear life? Maybe relationships never feel stable or safe because you had chronically judgmental or invalidating people in your life. When your emotions, relationships and behaviors feel out of control, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) can help you learn strategies to experience yourself and others in a new way, making a way for change.

Would you like to improve your relationship by strengthening communication, dealing with conflict effectively, reviving intimacy, or balancing family/work demands? Do you want to get beyond feeling stuck in self-sabotaging and self-destructive habits? Are you tired of dealing with the emotional and physical effects of anxiety?

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?
