Therapists in Mountain View, CA

I enjoy working with people who would like to change their relationship with problems in their lives, and gain power over these problems and their effects. I have extensive training and experience working with people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, and eating disorders. In addition, I meet with people who are affected by chronic medical conditions and parent/teen conflict. I view people as having ideas about how they would like to be in life and in relationships; yet, problems can disconnect people from their ideas and identities, influencing them to act in unsatisfactory ways.

Ineffective therapy can feel like an endless routine of talking without a plan for change. Are you ready to make true life changes, move beyond just talking and do the work that will help you move past your challenges? Together we can create change. First, we will take time to learn about your unique situation, complex identities, and life circumstances. Then, we will develop a plan. Next, you will learn a replicable process: identify achievable goals, overcome barriers to change, learn and master new skills. I believe you can learn the skills needed to overcome your challenges.

I see the world as my life-time classroom. My therapeutic work is rooted in Jungian and Transpersonal Psychology and have provided therapy for adults, couples, adolescents, and children for eight years in various clinical settings.

Individuals are complex, so I meet my clients where they are, addressing their individual challenges by noting their cognitive and behavioral patterns, exploring the past when it is necessary to improve the overall wellbeing and the futures. I believe that all people can change. I work with clients of various backgrounds and make sure to tailor my sessions to their specific needs .

Welcome. My approach to therapy is collaborative and results-focused. I am told that I am insightful and my knowledge and perspective are helpful. I can be direct when needed and think humor can sometimes lighten challenging situations. Better understanding ourselves can lead to lasting change in our lives even when we previously felt stuck. My background as an engineer and manager means I understand the pressures of working in the tech industry. Often very successful people still need support in one aspect of their lives. I have experience with clients from 5-85 years old and from many different cultures and backgrounds.

Starting or switching directions in therapy can feel intimidating and overwhelming. Searching for and meeting someone new can also add layers of uncomfortable feelings. With all that life throws at you, you're probably feeling stuck, hopeless, and nervous about getting this whole therapy thing started. I can assure you, there is hope!

I imagine that you’re looking at this listing because you’re dealing with a problem that you haven’t been able to solve on your own. You may be feeling agitated and worried much of the day, having trouble sleeping, or feeling lost or lonely or down in the dumps. You might be struggling with getting a handle on a habit that you can’t seem to change. Or you may be having difficulty relating to other people, speaking up for yourself, or dealing with anger. Your problem might not even be clearly defined, or you may feel overwhelmed by multiple problems and don’t know where to start. All you know is that something feels not-quite-right.

The world is really challenging right now; it makes sense that you would feel anxious, depressed or not yourself. No part of our lives has gone untouched. I find that having someone to listen, remind you of your strengths, and help you discover new parts of yourself and new ways to feel better are what make a difference. I help adults with depression, anxiety, loss of meaning, phase of life issues, unresolved life events, and transitions.

Successful on the outside, but suffering on the inside? Have you experienced therapy sessions where you've talked at length, felt better in the moment, but ultimately noticed little change in your life? Or perhaps you've had therapists who've given you sound advice, but somehow, you just can't seem to implement it. If this sounds like you, experiential and integrative therapy approaches that I offer may be a good fit for you.

I offer my clients a relationship that is based on unconditional regard, acceptance and empathic listening. I believe this relationship is the vehicle that will allow us to explore their lives and understand what true acceptance and compassion looks like. Healing then happens very quickly; people start getting relief from their suffering and overcoming challenges including anxiety, depression, excessive stress and traumatic experiences that have shaped their lives.

Excessive anxiety and depression or another form of distress may be robbing you of simple, everyday pleasures. These weighty feelings may have become intrusive, occupying too much of your mental space. Yet, you still have hope and determination, both critical elements to feeling better. In all likelihood, you want to thrive, embark on a journey where you can explore all your potential, and celebrate life. Having an effective therapist greatly impacts the therapeutic process and outcome. Yet, finding the right person can often be very challenging. I might be that match for you.

I have over 10 years experience and although my speciality is with children/teens I have experience working with all age groups and diverse populations (hablo espanol). I know what it feels like when the world gets overwhelming and anxiety and/or depression seem to take over. I am here to help people of all ages navigate the changing and challenging world and family relationships of today. Working together, I am hopeful that we can help both you and/or your child relieve symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and behavioral challenges.

Past leadership positions at Bay Area mental health programs have informed my work as a therapist. I have seen for some that balancing a career or education with everyday life can be overwhelming and isolating if one works endlessly while sacrificing self-care. You may find it challenging to set boundaries. You may feel like you are "being othered" by those who do not understand you. You may find it difficult to open your heart to family or friends when education, career, and relationships hold specific meanings for you. My passion as a therapist is to help people thrive in the ever-changing cultures of home, work, or academic life.

I provide virtual therapy for individual adults in California and Massachusetts. Creating positive change in the face of turbulence in life can often be overwhelming. As a licensed counselor and music therapist with 14 years of experience, I specialize in partnering with adults to discover an empowered response to complex challenges. Through compassionate and skilled care, I support clients in cultivating the wisdom, presence, and skills to live a meaningful and engaged life.

I am the therapist for the working professional and their families. I am available to accept new clients. I provide Problem Solving Strategic Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, Somatic Psychotherapy, Career and work related Coaching and Leadership Development. I work with high functioning adults and adolescents, individuals and families; with students on performance and anxiety issues; with couples to improve communication and emotional connection/intimacy. Trying to conceive, Pregnancy, Postpartum and Parenting. I work in California for therapy; globally for coaching.

You came into this world feeling whole. Then life happened and you lost that feeling. It's so close, that feeling, you can almost sense it. You long to feel it again. If this is you, then you have come to the right place. Whether you are a person or a relationship, I believe you have the capacity to recover that potential you sense within you. I am here to create a safe space for you to play and uncover your wholeness. Sometimes safety comes from taking that risk you have been avoiding, but doing so with support. I will walk with you as you go into that dark cave and retrieve the jewel of your brilliance that lies glittering within.

I meet people where they are in their life journey. Work and play need to be in balance to make life rewarding. My favorite people to work with are looking to make life more exciting. I have a practical approach to getting past life's hurdles to what makes one happy. Life transitions can be difficult to navigate, so having guidance for the journey makes it easier. Finding motivators for my clients is my biggest goal, and results in people who are more fulfilled with all aspects of their lives.
