"Good therapy involves the right match. I also provide a free 30 minute (in person) question and answer session (not counseling). This allows you to understand what your therapy process will look like. If we decide to work together, you will be involved in a very action oriented therapy. Our work will encourage you to practice your new skills during the week. I try to use approaches that you find helpful like: writing in a journal, reading books, support groups, and/or your spiritual practices, that may help while you are in therapy.

"Once-upon-a-time none of us were parents and we didn't think much about how difficult that role could be. Fast forward to today and here you are searching for help with your child. Addictive technologies, teaching self-discipline, developing strategies for coping with change are challenging. Teaching life skills, and helping parents be more effective is what I've been doing since 1991. I'm what you might call a generalist in that I work with boys and girls of all ages and relate as easily to a six-year-old as to a sixteen-year-old."

"Anxiety can be a crippling condition. Luckily, cognitive behavioral therapy has been proven to help people break free from the limitations that anxiety often puts on them. I work with individuals struggling with worry, indecisiveness, OCD, panic disorder, social anxiety, and generalized anxiety. I work collaboratively with people to set concrete goals and then systematically go about achieving them. My ideal client is someone who no longer wants anxiety to dictate their choices in life. My clients want the freedom and flexibility to make decisions based on values rather than fear."

"Do you feel stuck in your life? Do you often get told that you don't quite seem like your old self? Do you sometimes feel like you could be living a different life if you could overcome some of the things you are carrying with you? I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults who are looking for a shift in their lives - whether in relationships, career, school or how they view themselves."

"I'm a Psychologist with an Integrative perspective, comfortable working with a variety of types of people and problems from a variety of perspectives. It is as important to be able to work towards change in the present, as it is to revisit and understand how one's developmental history may be influencing present issues or repeating patterns. I have found truths in many theoretical approaches, and as much from studies outside of Psychology as within it."

"Welcome to my practice. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, or other issues impacting your ability to live your life to its fullest, I would be happy to speak with you about working together. I am a clinical psychologist with over 25 years experience working with individuals, couples, and families. My work focuses on both internal stumbling blocks to feeling better and on interpersonal problems with important people in your life. We will focus on leveraging your strengths to tackle the difficulties you are experiencing. When indicated, I work closely with a psychiatrist to address any biochemical needs."

"I graduated from Stanford University in 1989 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. I then attended Washington State University where I received a Masters of Business Administration in 1993. I graduated from Santa Clara University in 2012 with a Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology. I became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California in 2016 (LMFT#92542). As an intern, I worked for four years at a local high school counseling adolescents & their families. I also worked at a clinic, treating adults, couples and families. I lead grief & loss support groups on a regular basis."

"I help young professionals live a more satisfying life and solve problems. I can help clients in clarifying relationships, defining career goals and decisions, and healing depression and anxiety. Clients leave therapy with an overall better understanding of themselves."

"I have specialized in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for adults and teens with anxiety disorders for the past 15 years, and have specific expertise in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) using exposure and response prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. My approach is both supportive and collaborative and is tailored to meet the needs of each client. I utilize the most up-to-date evidence-based treatment approaches, incorporating both CBT and acceptance-based strategies. In addition to OCD, I frequently work with individuals struggling with panic disorder/agoraphobia, social anxiety, specific phobias, and chronic worry."

"Most people benefit from having a trusted and trained professional to confide in and collaborate with - to make changes, deal with emotional pain, and search for understanding and meaning. Humans are complex beings and life is full of challenges. We all create "protective measures" to help us cope with difficulties we have encountered. Unconscious relational patterns, expectations, and beliefs about ourselves and others develop. Unfortunately, many of these ways of being interfere with creating satisfying lives and relationships. Our habituated patterns can be constricting, or lead to troubling behaviors or symptoms. Therapy can help free you from what's not working."

"How do we make healthy changes in our lives - in our marriages, families, work relationships and friendships? I provide a supportive and safe environment for you to become more self-aware to enrich your world and personal relationships. My practice covers a broad spectrum of personal and emotional issues including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, communication, and stressed couples and families. I also provide help to women dealing with the impact of a breast cancer diagnosis. In addition, prior experience as an Educational Consultant provides helpful insight to families challenged with a struggling teen and the emotional impact this has on family life."

"Hello! I am a LCSW passionate about working with individuals and families struggling with severe mood and anxiety. As you can see from my picture I have a compassionate yet light-hearted spirit that connects well with kids of all ages. For 11 years, I worked in the Pediatric Bipolar Disorders Program at Stanford creating and modifying therapeutic treatment modalities for children and families. For this reason, I am best suited for clients with mood or anxiety disorders, behavioral difficulties, & suicidal tendencies. I see the most success when I am permitted to work with the client and the family simultaneously."

"My psychotherapy practice is for adults of all ages, couples, and families. I can help you discover the tools you need to develop and sustain satisfying relationships, respond positively to your environment, cope with stress, trust in yourself, actualize your dreams, and live your life with purpose, hope and integrity. Whether you are adjusting to one of life's transitions (new baby, mid-life, new job, divorce, loss, marriage), struggling with anxiety/depression/anger/self-doubt, or attempting to conquer your fears or past trauma, I can provide a safe and trusting environment to help you discover healthy and productive ways of moving through life."

"***NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** Life is a journey full of ups and downs. It doesn't come with a roadmap, and at times we all find ourselves in difficult situations. As your therapist, I will guide you and support you through these rough times by illuminating the path to healing and wholeness. In the face of life's challenges, our tendency is to cope, adapt and get by. Unfortunately some of these coping mechanisms are outdated and no longer serve us, so we go about life just "getting by". Rather than merely "surviving" you could be thriving."

"I am a licensed psychotherapist and EMDR provider who specializes in trauma, depression, addiction, life change and attachment issues. I work with adults and couples. I can help with the anxiety and painful feelings that proliferate when coping with challenging life experiences. I am certified to provide EMDR, (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) a powerful and highly effective trauma treatment which can greatly improve therapeutic outcome and expedite recovery time. EMDR works with major trauma as well as repetitive, "small t" trauma like that experienced growing up in a dysfunctional home."

"I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, who believes in the importance of prioritizing mental health. Seeking out therapy means you value yourself and the relationships you are in. In order for clients to access their most authentic feelings, I feel the therapeutic environment is key. I provide an inviting, non-judgmental space to process the challenges that are present in your life, and work with a strength-based, solution-focused approach."

"Has your relationship with food become one that feels imbalanced or out of control? I am here to help you create a balanced, healthy relationship with food and your body while working with you to create and practice the skills necessary to live fully and joyfully in your life. I am a warm, honest, and directive therapist that uses an eclectic approach to create a plan with you to help you reach your goals. Full recovery from an eating disorder is possible, and I am here to help you navigate that process."

"Do you feel your thoughts, emotions, or moods are affecting you, making life more challenging? My areas of focus are working with elevated anxiety and depressive disorders in adults and adolescents. Anxiety: Are you feeling Stressed, Overwhelmed, On-Edge, or Having a hard time relaxing? Depression: Are you feeling Sad, Lethargic, Uninterested in things, or Lonely? I want to create a safe and comfortable space for us to explore and work through the challenges you may be facing. I believe the therapy process is collaborative and it is my intention to partner with you to work towards achieving your goals."

"I work with individuals who are seeking work-life balance; exploring mid-life or mid-career issues; managing identity issues regarding race, gender, sexual orientation; and focusing on wellness (emotional, physical, spiritual). I value individuals' experiences within the context of their lived experiences and their cultural identities (e.g., as a woman, person of color, LGBTQ, etc.). I provide a safe space for people with marginalized identities to feel understood and honored. My therapeutic and coaching styles aim for long-term growth, not short-term solutions (although that may be part of the work)."
