Therapists in Morgan Hill, CA

Clients usually arrive with some version of the Triple-Knot and a fractured sense of self. Their major issue is navigating their world through a lens of insecurity/anxiety/avoidance. As such, their Coping Strategies Menu is filled with numbing and distractions: alcohol, substances, electronics, etc. My task is to gain a client's trust, and help he/she unravel their Triple-Knot, and gain fulfillment or efficiency within the Self.

Hello and welcome. Parents are the experts of their own children. I am here to support the parents and guide them to discover ways to overcome social-emotional challenges that impede their child's well being.

With unconditional support and an unbiased understanding of each circumstance, I can help you and your child navigate through the challenges and allow the child to thrive to be the best they can be.

Life feels like crap. You wake up each morning feeling stuck and unsure. There is no clear path to feeling better. Past experiences keep showing up when you least expect them, and your emotions get the better of you. It's lonely dealing with these feelings on your own, but you don't know where to turn. Hiding behind your mask is no longer possible. You've thought about asking for help but keep putting it off. Asking for help is on your mind and you are ready to take those first steps. The thought of confronting your past is scary, but you know that these old patterns are no longer serving you, and it's time for a change.

Growing up is hard and sometimes tough to navigate, for kids and parents! Between early childhood and young adulthood, there are many challenges that children face on a daily basis. Often times, daily tasks and transitions bring on stress and sometimes depression and anxiety. Events ranging from separation to assault can provoke traumatic stress in the youngest child. This stress may lead to behaviors like isolating, self harm, crying, bed wetting, refusing to participate in activities or acting out. Your child has their own way of coping with change, which may negatively affect their relationships with teachers, friends or parents.

As I complete this profile, I’m struggling with labeling myself in some categories: the human experience & connectedness can be much deeper than some similarities. It is usually at a vulnerable time in our lives that we seek therapy. Though life can be beautiful, we can also encounter different challenges that hinder our ability to enjoy life, our relationships, growth, and our optimal potential. My goal to provide a supportive and safe environment that allows you to explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviors (patterns), experiences, and their connections to one another, as you seek resolution for the issues that bring to therapy.

Are you living, or just existing? Do you feel like you're just going through the motions, doing whatever it takes to get through the day, only to find the next day is more of the same?
