Anxiety Therapists in Los Gatos, CA

I see the choice to begin therapy as an act of self-empowerment. Whether you need support for a difficult life transition, notice ingrained patterns that you want to shift, or seek personal or spiritual growth, initiating therapy paves the way for change. I believe that we are inherently relational beings and that sharing our whole selves within the support of a trusting relationship is an important component of healing. From this place of truth, we can work together to make meaning of your challenges and leverage them into opportunities for growth and change.

I help clients become uplifted, release blocks, change their beliefs and habits, control pain, overcome fears , grief and depression. I have a spiritual and transpersonal orientation to counseling, helping clients become aware of their higher self and inner power so they can make positive changes. I assist clients in releasing anxieties, overcoming and preventing panic attacks, insomnia, unhealthy eating and drinking habits, smoking and other addictions. I also work with children, helping them to overcome bed-wetting, nightmares, tantrums. I assist pregnant women to learn hypnobirthing methods for labor pain and natural birth.

Are you feeling overwhelmed in your day to day life? Having struggles keeping a positive routine? Having difficulty in relationships? Over thinking about food or body image impacting daily Life? These are concerns I often work with in my practice and you are not alone. I work collaboratively towards your goals for mental health and well-being. I have a strong background in working with anxiety , depression, eating disorders, trauma, life stress, and relationship dynamics.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I work with women, teens, young adults, parents and families. I enjoy working with women to help with life transitions, balance and personal enrichment. If you have been in several modalities of treatment and not seeing results, let's try something new. I also have a soft spot for teens and college students and have much success in a variety of setting with this population. I also enjoy coaching parents of teens. I use an eclectic present focus in my work with clients that is tailored to each individuals needs. In our collaborative and dynamic work together we can and will foster growth and change.

I work with WOMEN and ATHLETEs who are struggling with overwhelming ANXIETY . Sometimes this includes issues with relationships, spirituality, trauma and PTSD, self esteem, codependency, life transitions, eating issues, sports performance, and grief. You may be feeling not good enough, stuck in a toxic relationship, uncomfortable asking for help, scared of conflict, intimidated, taken advantage of. You can achieve, tough it out, and make other people happy, but aren’t really happy yourself.

Any person who enters into therapy with me is appreciated and welcomed. I identify each client as unique and feel a deep respect for them. My work experience has been primarily with adults and teenagers and it's been an incredibly enriching privilege. I practice client centered therapy, which acknowledges the client's wisdom, and holistic treatments. Whatever the client's issue is, I will be open minded, open hearted and compassionate. Whatever the therapeutic goal, I will assist and explore with the client at their speed. I truly look forward to working with my clients and I'm keenly interested in their therapeutic process.

As a clinician who practices a strength-based approach to assessment, strategies and treatment, I love helping people to re-connect with their own happiness! My clinical expertise is in combining specialized clinical knowledge and skills in the service of resolving anxiety . My unique approach incorporates Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness. I find that many people diagnosed with long-standing clinical depression and anxiety are often suffering from the negative impact of self-criticism, relationship discord, past trauma, or achievement fatigue, and that once these are addressed, their symptoms subside.

Good therapy experiences are based on an engaged and profoundly honest conversation that is collaborative, imaginative, thoughtful, and touched with a little grace. We open ourselves to the transforming power of our intuition when we feel truly heard, understood, and encouraged to risk being different. I believe this offers us the opportunity to stretch ourselves and live lives which are more free, creative, and emotionally generous.

I offer in-person and online therapy for adults and couples. Are you considering making a change in your life? Do you live in constant judgement of yourself? Are you in a relationship struggling with conflict? Whatever has brought you to therapy, I am here to support you and give you feedback on where you are today

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.

If you find yourself facing one of the many troubles that life throws your way, like grief, loss, depression, anxiety , a life-changing diagnosis, a major transition, or relationship challenges, I can help you find peace as you move through and past it. My strength is welcoming all that arises with compassion and deep presence as I help you tap into your innate wisdom, to find your way to the solutions and answers you need. From that starting point, I use whatever part of my training might be the most useful.

The best predictor of success in therapy is the relationship built between the client and the therapist. I create an environment where you will experience unconditional acceptance and a safe place to share your thoughts and feelings. Over the course of therapy, you will feel more confident in yourself, your decisions and build healthy coping skills. For 15 years I have helped my clients cope with a variety of issues including: depression, anxiety , parenting, divorce, affairs, eating disorders, relationships, communication, grief and loss, setting appropriate boundaries, increased self-confidence and self-esteem.

Do you want to be happier and feel less anxiety and have more clarity. We all get challenged by accepting where we are with our problems. It's hard to be mindful about facing our issues. I can help you embrace that part that you are running from & if you can practice tools--you can start living the Way of Positive Psychology and you will heal & start to feel better. You really can do this. You really can heal. I haven't always felt as Anchored & Happy as I am now--for 25 years-I studied practiced & would be honored to teach you.

Life presents a multitude of challenges to our capacity to remain grounded and balanced. Additional support can help through stressful and uncertain times. Through the process of therapeutic work, self-discovery can occur in a supportive environment. Whether you are seeking therapy to address anxiety , relationship issues, phase of life changes or depression, I will work collaboratively with you to help facilitate the insight you seek.

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 ? As a specialist in couples therapy and anxiety treatment for adults, I work with people to explore unproductive patterns and develop more useful alternatives for healthier relationships and satisfying lives.

I am accepting new clients! There is a path through difficult times even when you may be feeling overwhelmed.

I provide EMDR treatment to support PTSD and trauma stabilization, Anxiety , and Depression recovery. I help people through relationship struggles and life changes and help with managing difficult emotions such as anger management. I also work with couples and families to help them improve communication and grow intimacy and connection.

Life is filled with transitions, changes, growth, and honestly sometimes, even regressions. But that is okay. And even better, you do NOT have to go it alone. Let me walk through the darkness with you and we can find the way out together. Let me help you discover your strengths. Let me guide you getting your life back on track. Therapy does not have to be scary or intimidating. Therapy does not require prior experience. Therapy also does not have to be all talk about feelings for an hour. We can draw, we can take a walk, we can cry, we can laugh, we can even meet virtually! Therapy with me will be about you and your needs.
