Therapists in Campbell, CA

Hi there! Thank you for considering me to assist you on your journey. You’ve already taken the first step, which is to notice that something doesn’t seem right, or you’ve reached a crossroads in life. Maybe you’re asking yourself, “What really matters to me? or ”How do I create change?" Or wondering why your relationships aren’t quite where you want them to be. I believe my role is to meet you where you are in life and assist you on this journey for however long, or short you feel necessary. I assist adults, teens and families with bringing balance back into their lives.

Are you lonely, feeling depressed and hopeless thinking that life has passed you by? Are you struggling with a transition in your life: empty nest, divorce, newly married, or the loss of a loved one or a new job? I have worked with individuals, couples and families struggling with these issues. I help clients acquire direction and tools to move beyond old "non working"patterns in their lives. I work to see your growth through empowerment, direction and education.

I am a Marriage & Family Therapist who uses a strength-based approach rooted in authenticity, compassion, and understanding. My approach is informed by Attachment Theory, Family Systems Theory, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. These theories guide me to help clients get unstuck from problematic relational patterns, nurture secure attachment bonds, develop more satisfying relationships, and work through challenges such as trauma, anxiety, and depression. I enjoy working with a variety of concerns including relational distress in families & couples, emotional & behavioral issues in children & adolescents & healing from past trauma.

If you've been feeling sad, stuck, and stressed for too long, don't hesitate to reach out. I can help you find clarity and contentment. Our therapeutic relationship combined with mindfulness and experiential methods of psychotherapy, lead to real and lasting changes. Patterns which you once took on to cope with your family or stressors may not serve you anymore. Together we can access these old patterns of feeling and thinking that hold you back, and create new ways to be in your world. You can discover that life and relationships can have meaning and ease.

Welcome. If you’re reading this, it probably means you are looking for something different. If you are looking for individual therapy, I believe I can be of best support to those who have already begun their healing work and are ready to dive deeper. This might involve utilizing current high-tech approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS) or Somatic Therapy (e.g. Hakomi), as well as mindfulness and present-moment focused therapy, or possibly delving deeper into your psychological history. However, I am confident, ready, and willing to meet people wherever they are at on their journey. Additionally, I enjoy working with couples.

Are you having the same painful arguments, again and again? Does it feel like nothing will ever change? I specialize in couples counseling, and in working with trauma. If things have gotten hard I can help. Let's talk.

Have you ever wondered, "why did I just do that?" or felt a great conflict between different sides of yourself? My clients leave therapy with a better understanding of the parts of themselves at play, and feel relaxed and affirmed. I offer a safe space for people of all ages (3-103!) to be understood and held as we learn together what helps increase calm and improves life. Sometimes this is working through stress within a family and it's affect on family members. Sometimes this work looks like learning new ways to cope with anxiety or improve how we talk to ourselves.

Welcome! Are you looking towards taking a step towards peace and empowerment while navigating the complexities of your inner and outer world? Therapy is a space to explore our complex feelings, fears, and values, which by shining a light in the darkness, can allow us to move forward with more ease. It would be an honor for me to walk alongside you on your path, whether delving into complex trauma, navigating life as a deeply feeling person, integrating different parts of yourself, and other goals you have. I hold a warm and compassionate container for you as we embark on the healing journey.

We often don't talk about the impact of childhood trauma on ourselves and our families, which then deepens the challenges and struggles we experience in our daily lives. My passion lies in helping you understand the impact of trauma on your life and dissecting the patterns that have developed from it. Change is hard and it feels uncomfortable. That is where I come in to walk along your healing journey to help you address the source of the issue to build insights. Together, I can empower you to create the change you want to see in your life.

You’re tired of doing the same thing over and over and finding yourself in the same situation. You know that you’re smarter than this! You beat yourself up for making the same mistakes again and again. You know the answers --- love yourself, say no, check in with yourself --- but you can’t seem to translate that into day to day. You desperately want to find peace in your life, and in your relationships. You want to be fully yourself, to be whole and happy, to stand tall and walk in your strength. You know you’re good and kind and trustworthy and yet you still question yourself. Stop doubting yourself. Let's do this together!

Do you ever struggle with feeling like you’re not enough? Do you feel like you have to prove yourself? Do you feel stuck and triggered by childhood trauma? The symptoms of trauma include anxiety, depression, high conflict relationships, occupational impairment, addiction, and much more. I believe therapy can help you develop a more self-awareness and actionable plan to alleviate these symptoms. I specialized in working with people who are willing to explore past, present, and future challenges and to find tools for personal growth.

Life is constantly presenting us with change. Just when we might feel like we know what the day will bring, there might be something around the corner that takes us by surprise; maybe even something that has been there that we didn't even notice before! With change, comes thoughts and feelings we might not be ready to have, such anxiety, sadness, and fear. Coping with these changes can be difficult at times and we might need a little support. One of these unexpected events might be the diagnosis of a developmental delay, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Difficulties in life can often result in unfulfilling/unhelpful circumstances or patterns of thoughts and behaviors. It is during these times, the times when you just feel "stuck," that gaining an understanding of the issue(s) at hand while enhancing life skills can increase your resilience. As a therapist, I work to empower my clients and facilitate conversations that help them gain a deeper understanding of their past, present or future concerns while exploring effective ways to foster lasting growth, healing and wellness.

You're a high achiever in your field, accustomed to success but grappling with anxiety, depression, or work-life imbalance. Despite professional accomplishments, you might feel unfulfilled, questioning the deeper purpose of your efforts. You're seeking not just relief but meaningful change, eager to understand and reconcile your internal struggles with your external achievements, and find a more harmonious way to navigate your personal and professional life.

First, I want to honor and acknowledge your courage in seeking therapy. I believe that all individuals have the ability to seek growth, connect to their values, and are generally trying to do their best with the cards that life has dealt them. My hope as a therapist is that I can provide you with an authentic and safe connection that provides a space for you to tap into your ability to heal. In therapy I will work as your ally from a non judgmental stance and respect your own individual sense of agency.

Trauma, anxiety, and addiction can make you feel stuck. The most important step towards healing is to address the unresolved emotion inside you. Healing requires feelings. Acceptance slowly dissolves pain. When we function from the fear and scarring of our trauma, the cycles continue until we learn how to transmute that energy into love. I apply a Holistic approach that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forms of well-being, addressing the “whole” self. Through a holistic framework tailored to your unique needs, the goal is to support you develop a deeper understanding of the self on all these levels.

I am a psychologist working in private practice in California with adults and adolescents. I am passionate about helping people get into and stay in recovery from a variety of issues including trauma/PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, anxiety, and chronic pain. Depending on your individual needs, we can work together to identify triggers, develop healthy coping skills, identify stuck points, process emotions, set boundaries, build resiliency, and build a support network. I have training in several treatment modalities including CBT and Cognitive Processing Therapy, a short-term treatment for trauma/PTSD.
