Jacob's Ladder Therapies San Jose, CA 95128
I am passionate about working with college age young adults, young professionals, their families and their loved ones who are struggling with complex mental health challenges such as suicidal ideations, anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, academic stress, work stress, post traumatic stress and substance use disorders. For the past 25 plus years, I have provided mental health treatment and services in residential treatment facilities, county mental health agencies, Intensive Outpatient Programs ( IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP).
I am highly competent in upholding individual growth and development with an emphasis on evidence-based treatments and practices such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT).
All of us need safe spaces to heal, grow and according to DBT, build a life we can experience is worth living. Consequently, I am committed to creating a fertile therapeutic environment for all of this to occur. I look forward to walking along this journey with you.
