Therapists in Willow Glen, San Jose, CA

You have wondered why certain things seem to re-occur in your life. You have tried but things don't seem to change that much. What is triggering these reactions? You seek to gain deeper understanding insights because you want to enjoy these relationships.

Though I work with most issues, I specialize in helping people recover from complex trauma. People with narcissistic, abusive, or neglectful parents or partners sometimes develop issues with trusting themselves, have difficulty maintaining close relationships, struggle with an inner critic, vacillate often between depression and anxiety, lack a solid sense of identity, or feel a sense of emptiness when their lives seem great on paper. Sometimes that trauma can even become part of one's identity - I work with clients to build insight, boundaries, self-compassion, and acceptance to free themselves from it & live more fulfilling lives.

Are you looking for therapy that is efficient, time-sensitive, and focused on practical strategies? I am a Behavioral Therapist whose approach includes short-term, evidence-based therapies for adults, couples, parents, adolescents and groups. My style is collaborative and includes skill-building in critical areas such as communication and relationship repair. I treat complex Mood Disorders, Anxiety, Panic, Bipolar, Depression, and Borderline Personality Disorder. I'm clear and direct- keeping our work on track so you meet your goals- while building in you the capacity for flexibility in order to have a peaceful and enjoyable life.

I only offer Video now, but take all insurances. Life has shown up, and you might feel depressed, anxious, lonely, or angry. Has your self-esteem plummeted? Are you struggling in your relationships? Do you: Beat yourself up? Use drugs or alcohol to cope with life? Have unresolved grief, trauma, or shame? Has your inner critic taken control of you? Do you believe the lies it tells you? If you answered YES, then you've found the right place to transform your life and heal. In therapy, I provide a safe, caring, and nonjudgmental setting, using evidence-based theories.

I am glad you have made it this far on your journey. Typically the clients I work with have had experiences in life that have been traumatic, often early on. They have coped through these but the wounds are not yet fully healed. Those memories hold power over their present and they are seeking a different future where they are feeling lighter, freer, more fully their true selves. They value connection with others and want to process the challenges that keep cropping up. Trauma impacts us in seen and unseen ways, and at certain points in life we hear our inner intuition - the need to feel heard, understood and guided towards healing.

Each of us are unique individuals; complex and ever-changing. We are often affected by family, relationships, work, and even spiritual dynamics. I strive to understand my clients' point of view so that I may collaboratively develop a treatment plan that is as unique as they are.
