Teletherapy for 94404

Your therapeutic journey can be incredibly rewarding and difficult at the same time. Anxiety, trauma, and depression can make us feel lost and the road through is muddy and overwhelming. This is why having a guide that can understand you and meet you where you are, is incredibly important. It is my goal to help you navigate this voyage as well as hold and work through complex emotions as they fight with each other while at the same time cohabitating in the same space. I look forward to taking those first steps with you and take this journey together.

What would you do if you were given the chance to live life to the fullest? How would your days be different if you were not overwhelmed by stress and worry? Do you wonder if your relationships should somehow feel better? If you are frustrated with the way things are and you're looking for a change you are taking the right steps. You know that life could be better. You long to see your dreams realized. Relationships mended. Your goals achieved. You want to find more meaning in your life. Have deeper connections. And live according to what you know to be valuable and true.

Some emotions and experiences feel too difficult or overwhelming to face alone. If you are looking for a safe, compassionate ally to walk alongside you to help create a path towards healing, I would love to partner with you in finding greater meaning from your story. As your therapist, I empower you to resolve challenges in relationships by developing tools to build confidence, process grief and trauma, and develop healthier communication. I will partner with you in identifying your inner wisdom and core strengths to help you make deeper connections with yourself and others.

Have you been trying to make changes to your mental or physical well-being but find the impact to be short-lived? In the age of podcasts and self-help gurus, we are often bombarded with advice on living healthier and happier lives but lack the “how” or “why” components that help us maintain change. After spending nearly a decade in the Bay Area, I understand both the joys that come from living in such an innovative, growing community and the pressures associated with the fast-paced, ever changing, high-stress lifestyle.

Welcome to my practice. Are you struggling in your life? Feeling stuck? Unhappy? Unsure of what to change? It's common to experience these things at various points in life. I can help. I always aim to strike a balance between being warm and empathetic, and yet gently challenging clients to bring about necessary changes. I use evidence based practices while remembering that everyone is unique and different. I love learning about people and helping them connect the dots in their lives to understand their past, their triggers or traumas, and how to work towards future goals.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Anxious? Stuck? You do not have to face this alone. Together, we can identify what is tripping you up and what can help you move forward in a more healthy and productive way. I work with clients who are walking through transitions, struggling with low self-worth, facing anxiety, stress, depression, relational difficulties, and many other challenging life situations. Using evidence-based practices, we can work together to help you move forward in your journey toward healing one step at a time.

As a veteran mental health provider and life strategist, I offer many holistic counseling modalities in various settings: home, workplace, school, university, community. Behavior modification and other treatment approaches have been highly successful for those suffering from depression, anxiety, anger, emotional regulation, weight management challenges. Together we explore underlying issues fueling your irrational thoughts and dysfunctional behaviors- keeping you stuck. When applicable, I provide Solution-Focused Therapy by negotiating goals for sustainability; both short and long-term. As an EAP provider I offer organizational consultation in numerous areas: individual, group behavior, leadership, conflict, communication, emotional intelligence, time, stress, anger management, etc. Psychological Testing and Evaluation.

Hello Couples! Welcome to your first step towards your new chapter. I specialize in working with couples who are hoping to understand why they continue to have the same arguments time and time again. Learn how to identify and communicate your needs while also gaining new understanding about your partner. I'm glad you are here.

I specialize in helping couples, families, and children. As human beings, we have a need to feel connected to a significant other who becomes like a safe haven and a source of security and comfort. This person helps us to face the world with confidence because we know there is someone who cares about us. When we feel disconnected from our attachment figure, we feel unprotected and life's challenges seem to be bigger and scarier. I help couples and families to feel secure in their relationship by strengthening their bond so that they become responsive, accessible and emotionally engaged with each other.

Sometimes in life we get overwhelmed, feel stuck, and hopeless. Sometimes it can feel as though things keep piling up against us and it can be hard to feel complete. Some people may experience this emotionally, others more physically. Different things trigger these responses in us and make it hard for us to thrive. Whether it is the pandemic, trauma, depression, anxiety, family or relational conflict, self-esteem issues, racial injustice, or grief, having an outlet to make space for this discomfort can help alleviate the pain and move you towards a place of healing.

The decision to begin psychological treatment is very courageous. It is essential to research your provider options and select a psychologist who feels 'right' to you. I have over 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I specialize in helping people who want to increase their understanding of self; address areas of thinking, feeling, or behaving that cause pain or confusion; change behavioral patterns that interfere with emotional well-being, interpersonal relationships, and professional performance; and build relationships which are responsible, respectful, effective, and mutually satisfying.

Welcome! It takes courage to seek help and confront the parts of ourselves that we are most afraid of. I will partner with you and support you so that you do not have to do it alone. I am an attentive and welcoming therapist who is honored to walk alongside you as you make positive changes in your life. I am passionate about helping others become the best versions of themselves and focus on providing tools that empower you to break unhealthy habits in your life.

You are worried about your children and teenagers and wish they would listen to you and talk with you. You want a peaceful and happy home. I can help! I believe in a team approach where parents are partners in the process of helping to make the family a happier and better place to grow. I respect kids and teens as they express their thoughts and feelings. My ultimate goal is for each member of the family to feel seen, heard and understood as we work together to solve issues and improve relationships.

Brief therapy/counseling for managing emotional and interpersonal issues.

I found my calling to become a psychotherapist out of a desire to help people live happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives. I work with individuals, couples and families to help them resolve the impact of abuse and trauma, as well as problems of depression, anxiety, anger, grief, couples' discord, family conflicts, behavioral issues, low self-esteem, and life transitions. I am passionate about helping my clients who feel lost about their life directions with career exploration and identity development. As a Christian, I also love integrating spirituality with psychological well-being with clients for whom spirituality is relevant.

I am a licensed Marital and Family Therapist in California with over 20 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, creative blocks, and low self-esteem. I have also helped many people who experienced physical and emotional trauma. I hold my EMDR certification and use this process with about one-fourth of my clients.

If you are here, you are motivated to make some changes: I provide, practical, evidence based approaches to improving relationships (premarital, transitions such as parenting, co-parenting) or coping with life stressors, particularly when medical issues (cancer, grief, fertility issues) or one partner's mental health issues are involved. As an LMFT who is also a nurse practitioner, I bring a unique perspective to my counseling practice. My clients ideally experience peace of mind, greater closeness in your relationships, and discover new ways of coping and finding joy even in difficult circumstances.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious? Feeling lonely, lost, or stuck? Are you experiencing trauma/PTSD symptoms? Or having interpersonal relationship difficulties? There is hope for you!

If you've been struggling for awhile, your life can be different. You can't change your past. But you can change your future. You and your loved ones can write a fresh, new chapter for your individual lives and relationships.
