Alcohol Use Therapists in Mountain View, CA
We are born with a natural yearning to learn, love, be loved and be strong. We naturally respond to life's harder experiences in ways that try to cope with overwhelm, always hoping to feel safe and to grow. Clients often come to me when they are in significant pain, and realizing that their learned ways of surviving aren't helping them cope with life now. Together we'll work to uncover and heal wounds from surviving overwhelm alone. We'll prioritize safety and growth in our work, and use our relationship as a space where it is comfortable to be yourself, while feeling safe enough to take the necessary risks needed to heal.

The therapeutic process has the ability to transform. I am living proof of this. At my lowest point, I was anxious, depressed, suicidal, and trapped in addictions. With the help of a skilled therapist, I was able to come out of this darkness - inspiring me to leave the business world in order to help others who are suffering. I believe that everyone deserves a fighting chance to overcome trauma and abuse and live a rich, full, and satisfying life. I believe that we can change and grow at any time in our lives. I believe in the beauty, resiliency, and strength of the human spirit. I believe that we are all worthy and capable of love.

I seek to offer a welcoming and safe space for you to explore your sense of self and the challenges you may be facing. Due to symptoms that hinder our ability to solve problems and thrive, we can become blocked from experiencing the full range of human emotion.

My therapeutic style is collaborative, transparent and playful while using an integrative mind-body approach. I will encourage you to tap into the creativity and openness that allows you to gain new perspective and discover your own capacity to make meaningful change.

My ideal clients are individuals, couples, and families at a crossroads navigating marriage, divorce, or family systems in conflict. They may be struggling with infidelity, co-parenting disputes, or the emotional and financial fallout of separation. They come ready to work, not just talk. Together we construct a clear understanding of the problem and co-create a concrete action plan. Clients practice new patterns of behavior in and out of sessions. I am a change agent, integrating psychotherapy with life coaching to produce true, fundamental change.

My job is to begin where you are and help you prepare for your next stage of change. I use an integrative approach, working from the inside out (objects relations, family systems, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, others) to support your process and movement. We all start with assumptions about life. Then life happens, and we have to begin again having been changed. Loss becomes growth as we embrace new and mature understanding of ourselves and life. I am a clinical psychologist with over 10 years experience working with complicated but interesting people who are addressing individual, relationship, life, and spiritual issues.

You are facing hefty pain - breaking generational cycles, feeling alone as a child of immigrants, having to compartmentalize your queerness, transness, or culture to fit in. As a queer/trans person of color or child of immigrants, you carry the weight of cultural pressure, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and intergenerational trauma while longing to just be. Past therapists have called you "too self-aware," lacked cultural humility, and treated you as a group of symptoms rather than a multi-faceted human. What you really yearn for is to truly be seen - a place where you can be feel your feelings instead of having to explain them.

You are someone others rely on. You can read the room when things fall apart and carry more than most people realize. You are competent, reliable, and used to operating under pressure. And yet your nervous system does not fully power down and a body that does not fully settle even when you rest. Anxiety hums in the background. Sleep is inconsistent. Your jaw stays tight. Your shoulders rarely drop. Your mind replays conversations long after they are over. Even when you are technically safe, your body is not convinced. You function well. Inside, the cost is adding up.

Real healing begins when someone slows down enough to really understand you—not just your symptoms, but the patterns underneath them. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I offer a steady, engaged space where we look closely at the cycles that keep you stuck and the strengths you may overlook.
I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship conflict. Using DBT, CBT, EMDR, and structured couples work, we build concrete skills, process unresolved experiences, and shift interaction patterns so change feels real—not just talked about.
