Therapists in Redwood City, CA

Welcome to a place where your mental and emotional well-being will receive full attention! As a licensed therapist with 15+ years of experience in mental health, I offer a personalized, holistic approach to healing. I hold certifications in traditional therapies, such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and my education is in transpersonal psychology. My practice focuses on the mind-body-spirit connection, how our thoughts influence our emotions, and how our brain and body speak to each other.

My ideal client is anyone who is willing and interested to understand themselves more fully. S/he will see therapy as a potentially long term process leading towards a more fulfilling and full life. S/he will be open to including spiritual inquiry at various points of the therapy as appropriate.

I'm here to help find fulfilling and lifelong sexual/intimate satisfaction, whether you are partnered or single, straight, gay, bi, poly, kinky, asexual, furry or fandom. These days, so many of us are seeking less stress and more balance. The Bay Area is a worldly place, many come excited by its progressive sexual energy. Others may find sex confusing, challenging to talk about, or even perhaps, their worst nightmare. Most want better ways to communicate, especially about sex; perhaps to deepen love and connection, or for a path to restore trust and find pleasure. Sex can be juicy and life affirming, I am here to help you find that.

Your challenges aren’t in vain – they can be springboards into the life you dream of. Maybe you have felt overwhelmed, stressed out, anxious, sorrowful, or despairing. These difficult emotions can indicate that transformation, power, and aliveness are at hand. You just need the right guide to help you move through them to that fulfilling, happier life that you long for. I’m skilled at helping you explore your own depths – even the scary places – to find your hidden treasures. Your relationships, work, and sense of self can become more authentic and fulfilling – even when imperfect. And you’ll discover your inner resilience, too.

Big life transitions can be disorienting and anxiety provoking causing stress in your relationship, work life, and sense of self worth. I understand how painful this can be. I specialize in helping people create coping mechanisms to relieve anxiety and understanding the underlying emotions behind it.

Everyone needs help sometimes. In therapy, we join together to achieve your goals. Many of my clients are working on issues with anxiety and depression brought on by life transitions and past traumas. Together we examine patterns of thinking and behaviors that are no longer serving you. New coping skills help clients tolerate their feelings and improve their interpersonal communication.
