Therapists in San Jose, CA
My ideal client is someone who wants more than just a place to talk—they want to understand what is happening, why it’s happening, and what to do differently. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship or sexual concerns, stress, loss, or life transitions, or seeking clarity through psychological assessment. They value a strong therapeutic relationship, are open to active participation, and want practical tools they can use between sessions to create meaningful, lasting change.

You have the innate ability to adjust to all types of challenging circumstances. You deserve support while you think through what matters most, explore and identify your feelings in order to move forward to find corrective balance. Perhaps you are managing an uptick in stress, anxiety/depression and poor sleep due to feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you or a loved one is managing a serious health condition and hope to learn best approaches, new coping skills and options for resources. Or, you are a parent, a teen or young adult experiencing stress or loss of a loved one or a relationship. I believe people are insightful and resilient.

I specialize in helping children and teens who feel trapped by OCD, anxiety, or mood disorders, struggling with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and emotional challenges. They may benefit from guidance to navigate these difficulties and desire to regain control over their lives. Their goal is to reduce symptoms, build resilience, and improve daily functioning, while living in alignment with their values. With my background in education, I offer a unique perspective that fosters both emotional growth and practical, value-driven strategies to help them thrive in school, relationships, and everyday life.

You may have found that due to some recent life circumstance, you are feeling stressed, anxious, lonely, overwhelmed, or even ashamed. These are natural, human emotions, which can arise from a host of reasons including fertility challenges, reproductive loss, adjusting to parenthood, work-related stress, starting college, or relationship issues. It can feel isolating, and you deserve to be seen and understood. The good news is you don’t have to go through it alone, and you were never meant to.

I’m a proud Latina, a mom, a wife, and the eldest daughter in my family; so, I understand what it’s like to carry a lot. I also know how hard it can be to stay rooted in your culture while trying to find your place in a world that often asks you to blend in.
I’ve worked in mental health for over 23 years, supporting people through anxiety, stress, identity struggles, family dynamics, and more. My approach is centered on you, your story, your strengths, and your pace. Healing looks different for everyone, and there’s no one right way to do it. I’m not here to judge or tell you who to be.

I believe that all of us, at different times in our lives, may face unexpected challenges. Whatever you may be feeling—overwhelm, sadness, worry, frustration, exhaustion, loneliness—if these feelings persist, you can find some relief, and you don’t have to do it alone. Taking the steps to start a professional relationship with a trusted therapist can be healing and life changing. As you explore and reflect on what may be happening in your life right now, you’ll gain greater clarity about what deeply matters most to you, and develop a more authentic connection to yourself and others you care about.

Let's be honest. People are as numerous as the stars in the sky and as unique as the snowflakes in winter. As a client, you deserve a supportive, therapeutic approach based upon you, the individual. So while I, as a therapist, counselor & clinician, may sometimes gravitate toward a number of modalities such as Person-Centered, CBT and ACT, rather than shoehorn a client into a particular type of therapy, I do just the opposite.

My goal in your therapy is to offer a supportive environment where you can fully express yourself, gain insight into yourself, and address any issues or conflicts that may be holding you back. You will learn to take steps toward personal growth. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. This approach is hands-on and gives you the tools to feel in control of your emotions and thoughts, and behavior. At other times, if appropriate, I use supportive psychotherapy and brief solution-focused therapy.

Are you exhausted from holding everything together while feeling like you're falling apart inside? Maybe anxiety, depression, past trauma, addiction, or relationship struggles have left you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. You want to feel more present, more connected, and more like yourself again. You're not looking for quick fixes. You want lasting change, and you're ready to understand what's beneath the surface. Therapy can be the space where that shift begins.
