Therapists in San Jose, CA

Are you experiencing a difficult time in your or your children's life? Are you ready to face a problem that has been nagging at you for a while? I am here to help. I understand it can be difficult to reach out for help. Taking the first step is never easy. Together we will formulate a plan to best handle whatever issue is troubling you. I have extensive experience working with children and teens. My specialties include child and teen trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, and grief. I also enjoy working with adults and families around issues such as parenting, transitions, grief, and depression issues.

Struggling with a mental health or emotional issue? A difficult child/teen? In your relationship? Difficult life transitions? Addiction issues? Gender Identity? Family reunification? I can help you overcome your problems and embrace a healthier lifestyle. You deserve a therapist who will truly strive to understand the way you think. I will take the time to understand your thought processes, emotions, fears, and concerns. Of course, seeking therapy is not always easy; but you deserve to get the help you need to live a happy, fulfilling life.

There is no "one size fits all" therapy approach but my goal as a psychotherapist is to help each unique client strengthen relationships, gain resilience, heal from pain and create hope for their future.

In the field over twenty five years, I offer an empathetic and compassionate approach. Life can test us from time to time and we all need some support. My passion is working with adolescents, adults, couples, children of divorce and those looking to adopt. I can, also, support you through a life transition which can bring up lots of confusing emotions, including depression and anxiety.

Knowledge is power. Together, we find your inner strengths and apply them to the reasons you seek therapy. The more understanding you have of the specific issues, the better informed decisions you are apt to make in the future. Life is ever changing; issues that arise may continue to impact us in negative ways unless they are addressed effectively. It's never too late to make positive and lasting changes in your life. We'll work together to find ways that improve your ability to understand, cope and sustain the process to a better life.

Finding a therapist is hard! It doesn't help that there are so many to choose from. I think the most important part is actually liking the person you are talking to. Take a look at my page (and website), and if you think we may be a good fit, I encourage you to call me for a free 15 minute consultation. If we end up working together, I will do my best to find which methods align with you so that I can help you get to the place you want to be.

Do you find your current relationship(s) disappointing, have trouble keeping relationships or finding one at all? Our patients have concerns about how trauma impacts their daily life. They often report that food feels overwhelming and confusing. We will track and understand the unsettling and yet important feelings you have about yourself, your past, your food intake and your relationships with others. Common topics addressed in session include anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulty, feeling out of control with food, concerns about sex and more. Taking the first step to examine this with us isn't always easy but can be life-altering.

I am passionate about empowering clients to live a more spirited and enlivened existence. Recognizing that we all react out of habit in challenging situations, I offer concrete practices that build the necessary skills to intervene in these habitual reactions. These skills and insights will help you make new choices and live a more engaged and fulfilling life; you will learn effective ways to communicate personal needs, listen and respond to your own values, and connect with your innate wisdom and ability to heal.

It takes a lot of courage to take that step forward and seek help. At some point, the pain of staying where you are can become overwhelming, and you're ready for something to change. You are not alone! I will work to hold a safe space for you and walk beside you as we explore both your strengths and your long-standing behavior and thought patterns that have supported you in the past but maybe aren't serving you anymore.
