I worked in medical & psychiatric hospitals for over 20 years, specializing in addiction, mental illness, end of life, crisis / trauma.
Affirmations can improve mental health, increase self-esteem, & cultivate a positive mindset through the brain's ability to rewire itself, also known as "neuroplasticity." Consistent practice strengthens positive neural pathways & influences mood by releasing feel-good neurochemicals like dopamine and serotonin. Are you ready to start your journey towards self acceptance? Read the following: "Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it" – Andy Rooney. Notice how that feels to love yourself.

You may be an adult or teen struggling with persistent anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or OCD patterns that feel exhausting and difficult to control. Even when you understand what’s happening logically, you may feel stuck in cycles of worry, self-doubt, or emotional reactivity. Couples often come in feeling disconnected, caught in the same arguments, and unsure how to communicate without things escalating. Cultural expectations, identity concerns, or family dynamics may also be shaping your experience in ways that feel hard to name.

Are you experiencing a life changing shift or transition, navigating uncertainty?
Taking an integrative approach to therapy, I utilize more traditional modalities as well as EMDR, to support clients experiencing anxiety, physical and emotional trauma, grief, relational challenges, addiction, and other presentations. Mindfulness is a cornerstone for all services I provide, including couple’s work, where attachment theory and EFT are used.

As your therapist, my goal is to collaborate with you in managing trauma-related symptoms and moving toward a more meaningful, fulfilling life.
I utilize DBT, IFS, ACT, and the Trauma-Resilience Model to support clients in unpacking and processing traumatic experiences at their own pace, always through a trauma-informed lens. By exploring these emotions safely, clients can gain new perspectives on their trauma, reclaim their lives, and build new habits that foster lasting positive change.

The needs of others come before your own? Sometimes, as children, we fundamentally altered who we were to adjust to trauma, role-reversals, and cold parenting. This can create an underdeveloped sense of self or we are sensitive the slightest shifts in the moods of others. Relationships are scary. When happiness finally starts to seep in, an overwhelming fear sets in that it will all collapse & disappear.

Hey there! I work with ADHD, ASD, OCD, trauma, grief, relationships, domestic violence, and LGBTQ+. I am based in Los Gatos but see clients all over California. I’m genuinely invested in understanding how mental health impacts you and figuring out what will help you feel better. I think therapy has shifted toward techniques that sound good but don’t always create real change. This has left people even more stuck and unable to get out of their heads. My approach is to translate clinical research into something real and accessible, while also bringing warmth and empathy to create sessions that feel friendly, familiar, and supportive.

Goal setting is critical in the therapy process. I collaboratively create goals with my clients, because I am working with them to achieve these goals. If a client has several difficulties and feels overwhelmed by their goals, then I will help them to identify an overarching goal or a goal to target, that we can work on together.
