We provide help to Silicon Valley professionals and their families who face unique challenges living and working in the Bay Area. Silicon Valley professionals and family members may find themselves feeling overwhelmed or stressed by having to juggle a career, parenting, academics, family life, and life in the Valley. Knowing you can use some help and seeking out that help are signs of strength and courage. Therapy is not just helpful for getting to the bottom of an issue, but is often a much healthier alternative to treating symptoms alone. In therapy, we will work together to determine what treatment is best for you.

My goal as a mental health clinician, specialized in marriage and family therapy is to create a supportive enviroment in which my clients can explore their emotional needs and overcome barriers that limit their full potential.

At different times we experience unresolved situations that affect our sense of clarity, calm and balance. As a therapist and guide, together we will strive to remove those obstacles and restore hope and engagement. We can achieve this through developing goals and ways to cope that address those often unexpected and sometimes familiar patterns of living. My practice serves individual adults, children/teens, parents including parent and child therapy and elders. My wish for all clients is to find a trustworthy therapist in me.

Many people come to therapy to resolve problems in relationships, manage stress related to work and family, to learn how to adapt to minor and major changes in life, or simply to enhance one’s sense of self. I believe that clients are the experts in their own lives, and that my job as a therapist is to guide clients in resolving their issues by providing a wide variety of cognitive behavioral and mindfulness tools and techniques that can easily be applied to daily life and that will alleviate suffering in a relatively short period of time.

Life throws us so many different obstacles and challenges that sometimes it can be very overwhelming. You may struggle with relationships, trusting others, understanding yourself, suicide, fear of the future, feeling unappreciated or loved, and a lot more. The challenges we face, are common but may have us feeling and thinking the worse. This can cause us to feel alone and can cause us to isolate. Many don’t know how to cope and or feel confused. Many are lost with a lot of thoughts and feelings, not realizing that these feelings and thoughts are normal to have.
