Female Therapists in Sunnyvale, CA
I work with clients who have experienced complex traumas with a specialization in childhood abuse and neglect. Trauma is an emotional response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms an individual’s ability cope. Trauma, especially those during childhood, can lead to worrisome symptoms throughout adolescence and adulthood. It has the capacity to adversely affect feelings of self-worth, the ability to maintain healthy relationships and optimal functioning in school or work. This is where therapy can be beneficial.

Often a person will seek out counseling when personal attempts to solve a problem have not worked. Therapy is a safe and supportive environment in which to explore very personal concerns - concerns that may be difficult to share even with those closest to you. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I can provide a different kind of support than family and friends; I will listen objectively, not be judgmental, and help you to find your own solutions.
My role is to help you feel better and to assist you to acheive your own personal goals.

Your body’s sexual safety, wants, needs, and abilities matter. I welcome you to a comfortable, normalizing and validating space to explore your current sexual knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, health and body image. Unfortunately, you cannot change your sexual history of shame, distress, violation, or embarrassment. However, I can help you learn and practice consent, boundaries, empowerment, and joy. Ultimately these can lead you to a more pleasurable and fulfilling relationship with your body, in and out of partnered intimacy.
