Self Esteem Therapists in Saratoga, CA

Do you feel isolated, overwhelmed, or hopeless? Are you struggling with relationship conflict, trauma, or loss? Do you have concerns about your identity or feelings of low self-esteem? Whatever may bring you to therapy, you deserve to have support in what you’re going through. In either in-person or virtual sessions, I prioritize providing a safe, accepting space for adults, adolescents, and children to explore a wide variety of issues. I work with clients from a variety of backgrounds, and as a non-binary therapist, I have particular passion for working with LGBTQ+ and gender-expansive clients of any age.

Starting and continuing therapy can be a vulnerable experience and it takes courage. I want to welcome you and thank you for taking the next step for yourself. Whether you are seeking therapy because of anxiety, depression, life transitions, struggles with relationships or a general dissatisfaction with life I appreciate your willingness to show up for yourself. Therapy can help you get unstuck, feel happier and more present. It can provide you with tools and insights you need to create a life you love. My approach is humanistic, holistic, somatic and heart-centered.

The most difficult and painful circumstances in our lives can also serve as an opportunity to look at what needs our attention! Very often, we give our POWER away to people and situations in our life, causing us to feel victimized and stuck. Your current challenges can be a gateway towards self empowerment! you do not need to walk this path alone. In a safe space, we can begin the process of uncovering and healing the pain which may be keeping you paralyzed! It is possible to regain trust and confidence, in order to invite joy back into your life, get you power back and enjoy waking up each day !

I love working with adolescents and adults. Clients often tell me they leave sessions feeling better because they finally have an understanding of what is happening inside of them and know how to move forward with the different obstacles in their lives. They essentially say, they feel “unstuck.” I guide individuals in exploring their internal system, comprised of different parts that influence their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Have you ever said, “Well, a part of me wants this, but another part wants that?” It’s true that often we can see several sides to an issue, creating inner conflict with seemingly no resolution.

I am passionate about helping those suffering from anxiety, self-esteem issues, behavior problems, depression, and neurodiversity (ADHD/Autism). I am able to build relationships quickly with my clients by getting to know their unique interests and making them feel comfortable in the room. I incorporate a blend of humor and kindness within my counseling style. When working with adolescents/teens I collaborate with parents and other professionals upon request to provide education on childhood development and behavioral support to form cohesion and academic success. I offer in person and online counseling.

Life transitions usually become more stressful and even intimidating when doubled up with unprocessed trauma. Anxiety, stress, fear, anger, low self-esteem, grief, and/or depression are just some of the symptoms. Our brain is an incredible processing machine, which digests and organizes our experiences. But life encounters are just too many. Much of our experience, including childhood trauma, family of origin and attachment issues, can be frozen in an unawakened state. As a therapist, I work with clients to promote the processing clients need for emotional release and healing.

Are you or your child struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or emotional pain? Do you and your spouse fight all the time or have difficulty communicating? Do you feel like you are stuck, getting left-behind, or just not "good enough"? In therapy we will build on your strengths, helping you or your child gain confidence, self-compassion, and self-acceptance. You can learn to better express your needs to your spouse and to yourself. You can gain coping skills for managing difficult emotions and for more effective parenting. In couples therapy you will learn to create a more nurturing relationship. I am looking forward to helping!
