Therapists in San Jose, CA

Your relationships are exhausting, work is utter drudgery, and your life feels like a series of haphazard demands. You’re sick of people-pleasing, but you can’t seem to stop. Invisibility used to be your superpower (secretly, you like that nobody notices your mistakes), but it feels like you have no purpose in your life anymore. You’ve stopped setting goals because let’s face it, you probably won’t meet them anyway. That inner critic is holding you hostage. You don’t even want to try. You’re tired of trying to make new friends and speak up for yourself. Feeling completely defeated, you’re on the verge of giving up altogether.

Welcome! I am passionate about treating teens and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, self-harm, and PTSD. My goal is to support you in developing tools to understand your emotions, tolerate difficult emotions, have more fulfilling relationships, and create your life worth living. I have extensive background in using DBT, CBT, and mindfulness approaches. I also believe that providing a safe, non-judgmental relationship is key to the process of healing.

Do you feel overwhelmed and anxious? Are you struggling to feel motivated and focused? Symptoms of depression and anxiety make it hard for us to manage and enjoy day-to-day life, leading to a vicious cycle that can feel difficult to get out of. Engaging in therapy will help you recognize the thought patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to your experience. Therapy will allow you to explore your feelings and decide what coping skills will put you on the path to healing. Therapy can help you experience the peaceful, healthy, and fulfilling life you deserve.

Nature loves repeating patterns, and while many are beautiful, others can be harmful. Humans often find themselves stuck in unhelpful loops, preventing us from growing into the person we aspire to be and creating the life we desire. I will help you untangle yourself from these loops, providing a healing and supportive environment for you to explore your past, present, and potential future so that you may live with a greater sense of freedom and joy. We will explore the areas in your life causing you harm or distress from place of non-judgment, allowing you to grieve old stories and process the origins of these wounds.

Hi there! Welcome to my profile. Feeling lost, stuck, or going through a life transition? My practice focuses on honoring what you need to navigate challenging times. I offer a personalized therapeutic approach to work with your individual needs and assist in attaining the goals you have in mind.

Sometimes everything looks great in our lives, but something feels "wrong" and we don't know why. Other times, life might take unexpected turns and we hit "rough patches" with co-workers, friends, family, partners - maybe even finding difficulties within ourselves. While we've held everything together pretty well, maybe we're thinking we could use some help. Knowing we could use help and asking for help are signs of amazing insight and strength. Therapists may be able to offer the help you're looking for - in an accepting, compassionate space that allows an opportunity to explore what's going on and realize your best hopes.

Learn how to feel more connected to yourself, others and the world around you. Therapy provides all the elements of intimacy: honest communication, vulnerability and trust. Good therapy is challenging yet warm, providing both structure and empathy for your unique experience. We are a collective of therapists with a wide range of specialties. Our intake professionals will help connect you with the right therapist for your needs. We make appointments easy, offering evenings and weekends and flexibility for creative professionals who can't make the same time each week.

I believe living a successful life is a process. I have to laugh at the expression,"Expect the Unexpected," because it is so true! In order to navigate through a life of uncertainty, you may need support or guidance during the more difficult stages. I am here so you don't have to go it alone. My goal is to create a safe environment for you to explore your personal needs. I would be honored to assist you with navigating life transitions such as job relocations, marriage conflicts, parenting challenges, major life decisions or empty nest syndrome.

"As therapists, we are public servants. We have devoted our lives to making something from nothing, to find complex solutions to complex problems. To care and hold space in the face of disaster, trauma and fear. To give assurance and strength and help others rise." - Kirsten Haney LMFT

Suffering is a certainty in our lives, but sometimes it becomes more than we can bear. Oftentimes, we can become caught up in blaming ourselves- and though sometimes there can be truth to the notion, it's not true enough to guide us towards healing. We may feel slowed down, stuck, agitated, angry, frustrated or sad. There is nothing wrong or unacceptable with you or your feelings in my practice. They are part of your truth that will guide you to a deeper level of knowing.

We all want happiness. However, we could lose clarity that has once helped us make healthy decisions when life prompts us with challenging situations: marital problems, family discord, difficult parent-child relationships, acculturation issues, individual psychological problems, spiritual crisis, personal existential crisis, or transitional life issues. My calling is to help people find happiness, whether by developing new insights into their troubling predicaments, increasing mutual understanding amongst family members through effective communication, empowering human diversity, thereby fostering a satisfactory outcome.

Inexplicable anger, unshakable depression, unrelenting anxiety... This is the fallout of unmet needs like care, attention, respect, and presence happening now and probably had happened for significant lengths of time in our childhoods. As I work with people on these chronic and traumatic experiences, they have shown me how these past traumas can be resolved; that you too can get rid of distorted negative beliefs about yourself; that everyone can improve the quality and selection of their relationships; and when we connect to our bodies and minds with wisdom and tenderness, we become sovereign and healed.

Are you struggling, knowing it's time for a change but unsure where or how to start? Therapy doesn’t have to be a daunting process. While change and vulnerability can be difficult, I make every effort to help you move toward your goals at a pace defined by you. Whether it's related to our relationships, career, self perceptions and/or how we fit into our world, life's challenges can propel us toward seeking help. Finding our path and achieving our goals are vital in obtaining happiness and satisfaction in life. I want to help you get there.

As a therapist, my biggest reward is to see my clients transformed after being healed from issues with mood swings, relationships, parenting, cultural conflicts, family origin, past traumatic experiences, and abuse. I care deeply for each of my clients and I do my best to ensure that each and every one of them gets the help he or she seeks.

Relationships are hard! It can feel like an endless struggle just to get along. Sometimes it seems as though we’ve hit a wall and just can’t make it work. Is it my partner? Is it me? What’s going on here? I love working with couples and families to begin to gently untangle the conflict. Couple or family therapy can be a caring space for each individual to be heard and respected, a place for you to identify your feelings and desires. Together we will learn how you can reduce conflict, communicate better and find your way back to the loving place you once shared.
