Teletherapy for Campbell, CA

What do we all have in common? We all have the need to feel seen and understood. When you’re anxious, depressed, or just plain stressed it can be hard to find people who accept you as you are. Sometimes that leads to discouragement, isolation, or feeling overwhelmed. However, when you do have a safe place to connect and be yourself it can be the start of an amazing journey. From there you can begin to see life more clearly, identifying the things holding you back as well as the parts of life you want to enhance or explore. I’m privileged to help people on that path of healing and growth. I help Adults - Young Adults - Teens.

Well-being is possible! I am passionate about helping clients get relief from anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. I believe clients benefit most from therapy when the underlying causes of their symptoms are addressed. My approach goes beyond just talk therapy, and is experiential, somatic (body) and mindfulness based. You can expect to gain helpful skills and tools, as well as new perspectives for old problems. Clients find increased peace, empowerment and fulfillment in their lives. My style is genuine, collaborative, empathetic, non-judgmental and practical.

I work with adults, teens and provide family therapy. My specialities include treating depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidal ideation, mother-daughter relational dynamics, mood disorders, self-identity, self-esteem, confidence and body positivity. In therapy, I integrate whole wellness and health and build upon your strengths. I work towards inspiring creativity within yourself as I believe everyone is the author of their own lives.

“Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.” ― Brené Brown ― I have nearly 20 years of clinical experience counseling teens and adults in a variety of settings including schools, non-profit agencies, the public sector, and the justice system. I can be your ally to undertake relationship issues, workplace challenges, or pressures at school. Navigating the “’real world” can be daunting, especially with the influence of social media. We can find ourselves feeling depressed or in anxiety-provoking situations.

As a person of color born and raised in the Bay Area, I truly believe in my task and role as a therapist to reach those who feel as though their story is unheard and invalidated by the world we currently live in. My strengths as a therapist consist of gaining over nine years of experience working in the field of mental health as a mental health clinician under the non-profit realm and private practice within Santa Clara County. Over the course of my experience I have built skills in providing therapy to socioeconomically diverse families, children, individuals, couples, and those who identify with the LGBTQIA population.

Are you going through internal struggle due to trauma? Do you feel anxious and depressed about the future? Do you struggle with family issues and relationship issues? I’m willing to meet you where you are, help you process unwanted thoughts and emotions, and help develop an action plan to effectively cultivate your healing and growth. I’m here to help you explore unresolved feelings (anxiety, depression, anger, helplessness, grief, etc.) and develop skills to effectively cope with them. Thus, you can feel relieved and fulfilled in your relationship with yourself and others.

I specialize in supporting new and expecting families experiencing prenatal/postpartum depression and anxiety, birth trauma, and grief and loss, including pregnancy loss. The journey into motherhood invites us to experience intense love and joy, but it also touches our most raw and vulnerable parts. We may experience worries of not being good enough or fears of losing our identity. I understand how difficult it can be to take time for yourself when you feel overwhelmed and over-extended. But I also know that taking the time now to increase self-awareness can move you beyond survival and transform your experience of motherhood.

Many people lead busy lives. It's easy to lose direction and feel disconnected from yourself or others. There are times when life 'pulls the rug out from under you' and you need a roadmap to get moving in the direction you want it to go. Perhaps you need more support and aren't feeling enough resiliency to cope. You may be longing for a happy, fulfilling life; yet struggle because your important relationships aren't working. For example, your home life is being impacted by parenting issues. You may need help with communicating in a way that is heard by others and with learning how you can make the changes you want in your life.

I utilize a client centered approach in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions. In a safe, supportive, and non judgemental space we can explore the negative patterns in your life, work through any barriers, and move towards healing, growth, and change.

Childhood trauma can cripple us, it creates overpowering ‘intense’ emotions such as anxiety, depression, and anger when left unattended which begins to create physical symptoms to defend our bodies from the internal wounds. Has there ever been a time in your life where you have experienced this reaction? Are you experiencing these feelings based on current or past trauma from childhood, early teens, adolescence, adulthood, or as a senior? I aim to utilize a variety of actionable techniques to help reduce trauma related symptoms and make lasting changes in life.

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.

Do you find yourself shut down or suppress your feelings? Do you struggle in relationships due to your trauma? Are you unsure of where you belong? I work with people of all identities to process unresolved feelings due to trauma. I strive to provide you a safe and non-judgmental space, in order for you to develop coping mechanisms for trauma symptoms (anxiety, depression, addiction, etc.) and to explore aspects of yourself. I can help you let go of past HURTS and develop tools to find RELIEF.

I believe we’re all doing the best we can with the tools and experiences life has given us. I help clients find relief from anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship difficulties (couples/relational work), traumas (emotional and/or physical) and low self-esteem. Providing a therapy experience that is free of judgment or shame and having client's feel heard and understood is my priority - this is especially important in my work with couples.

Feeling lost and unsure about how to handle things in your life? We all feel like this at one time or another in our lives and it is helpful to have someone support you while trying to figure things out. I would be honored to assist you in this process. As a therapist, I will work collaboratively with you to help you move towards your life goals and a deeper understanding of self.

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.

I am currently accepting new clients. You deserve the opportunity to reach your full potential. You may feel held back by tough times, or life's wounds. My goal is to provide unconditional acceptance and support, so you can go to your most vulnerable places and transform them into powerful strengths. YOU have the capacity to heal emotional pain. I will work with you in a way that feels emotionally safe and at your own pace. My style is warm and relational, and I enjoy approaching the therapeutic process using creative methods such as expressive arts.

Life is a journey and sometimes it can be messy, challenging, and painful. During difficult times, everyone could use a helping hand and a supportive, compassionate space to process what they are going through. As a therapist, my goal is to help you navigate through those difficult times and the specific challenges you may be facing. I want to support you in gaining insight into your strengths and challenges, help you heal, and empower you to initiate changes to cultivate a more fulfilling life. I am especially passionate about working with youth and adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and bipolar disorder.

Seeking support takes great courage. As a therapist, I strive to provide a safe and gentle environment for you to explore deep wounds and connect with who you truly are. I utilize a holistic approach to address your whole being - mind, body and spirit - while staying curious about the parts that make you, you. Therapy is a unique setting where we can work together to tap into your core energy. Many people feel stuck, overwhelmed, burnt out or isolated. My work begins by meeting you wherever you are and walking alongside you as we honor your intuition, develop a deeper understanding of your emotions and cultivate tools for grounding.

It is easy to feel overwhelmed, tired and stressed in the Silicon Valley. While it is fast-paced, do you feel alone? Are you noticing patterns that have been repeating and want to work to change them? It may be that you need a place to discuss challenges that you are currently facing at your job, in your relationships or even within yourself. I am passionate about helping others face and work toward overcoming the challenges that life brings to them.
