Therapists in San Jose, CA

I enjoy working with people who have addictions or anxiety or something else weighing them down, working with them for a relatively short period of time, and watching them become energized and passionate about their lives. I believe that my clients know themselves better than anyone else. I work to help my clients achieve their goals. I believe I can best serve people by using what research has shown to be effective. I do not believe therapy should take a long time; most of my clients graduate within 3-6 months. I work on an time-sensitive basis so some require more sessions.

Are trauma, anxiety and insecurity controlling your life, preventing you from pursuing your dreams and living life to the fullest? Do you relive the past as if it were happening right now? Your head knows better, but it fails to convince your heart otherwise. As horrible as those experiences were in the past, they continue to zap away your joy and confidence today. You might even avoid situations that trigger the feelings. Are there any lost part of you that you'd like to return to? Do others believe in your competence more than you believe in yourself? What would it be like if life was driven by passion and joy, not fear or shame?

Telling someone that you barely know about your darkest secrets can be scary. However, the fact that you are thinking about getting counseling at this moment shows strength and courage.

I utilize a client centered approach in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions. In a safe, supportive, and non judgemental space we can explore the negative patterns in your life, work through any barriers, and move towards healing, growth, and change.

Are you struggling with stress, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, or any other mental health issues? You might feel alone, overwhelmed, or helpless dealing with these issues on your own. Want to look for clarity, understanding, support and guidance, and learn about coping skills? You will have a safe space where you can learn more about yourself and others, learn about mental health issues, and improve self-esteem, relationships, and quality of life.

My passion is helping people achieve a better quality life. If you experience anxiety, depression, or pain from past traumas, I can guide you toward inner healing through deep self-exploration and provide you methods for daily coping. If your child or teen is withdrawn, struggles with self esteem, or displays behavioral concerns, I can work with them to navigate their inner world and coach you with ways to support them. Together we will work toward letting go of unhealthy patterns and habits to meet your individual goals. In the process, you will build a positive relationship with yourself and your loved ones.

Are you stuck between, "this isn't working for me" & "I don't know what else to do? No matter how hard you try, your emotions control you. Pushing them down and pretending they’re not there has only worked for so long. You feel it in your body- the tension, the stomach flips, the pressure in your chest. You have a fairly constant simmer of self-critical thoughts that boil over from time to time with the message that you’re unworthy. Your sadness tells you to stay in bed, & you do. Your anxiety tells you to avoid that person, conversation, presentation, event etc, & your shame tells you that you can’t, so you don’t even try.

My ideal client is someone that’s ready to delve deeper. This person may be struggling to get out of bed or may be overwhelmed by their thoughts. Perhaps these habits impact their motivation or energy levels. This person may notice that their self-doubt interferes with their goals and overall meaning in life. My specialties include depression, and anxiety. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space so that you can learn to cope with difficult feelings, and develop a sense of confidence in yourself. I have successfully worked with athletes and their performance anxiety.
