Therapists in Los Altos, CA

As we live our lives, all of us face challenging curves in the road from time to time. Whether it be anxiety or depression, relational difficulties, troublesome patterns at work or school, or turbulence along a personal or spiritual path, we can all benefit from support navigating these consequential turns. Dissatisfaction or suffering on any scale can serve both as a signal and motivation towards greater understanding, integration, and alignment with ourselves, significant others, and our deepest values. Whether it’s anywhere from a modest course-correction to inner transformation you're seeking, let's explore the path together.

Hi and welcome.. I am a relationship, trauma and culture sensitive therapist in Los Altos, CA. If you feel that you are, are going through, have seen or lived through "too much," I offer you professional and compassionate support honoring your unique experiences, recognizing the courage it takes to seek help, speak your truth and trust someone new. I am passionate about helping you not just cope in life but find your way to lasting peace, liberation and healing through the power of your innate wisdom and our collaborative alliance. It would be a great honor to be considered as your therapist and a privilege to join you on your path.

I believe that seeking therapy is a brave first step towards healing, and feeling comfortable with your therapist is vital to this process. I provide a non-judgmental, warm environment where you can set the course of your healing journey. I support adults and couples on a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and unhealthy patterns of behavior.

Experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma can be hard to navigate on one’s own. Through the use of integrative modalities, my goal is to help you find your way so that you can manage symptoms, feel your best, discover who you truly are, and move forward in the direction of your dreams whereby your past no longer holds you back. Using warmth and compassion, I also aim to provide trauma-informed care to discuss your struggles without judgment and safely process unresolved trauma and feelings.

Do you feel as though your anxiety and depression are unmanageable? How about feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or helplessness like you’ve hit rock bottom and are struggling to find hope for tomorrow? Once we start to unravel the details of our past and trauma we give ourselves the ability to process feelings that we have long suppressed. I aim to collaborate with you and provide tools to decrease the challenging feelings you are currently facing and achieve a more integrated and balanced sense of self, leading to emotional healing and personal growth.

Are you experiencing challenges dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship/family issues, and trauma/PTSD? Due to these symptoms, we can be in too much emotional pain and feel too stuck to reframe our perceptions or to find solutions to our problems. Childhood or recent trauma can cause emotional distress that can be difficult to process. I am here to support you in working through unresolved trauma and guide you toward healing. Therefore, you can feel empowered, rejuvenated, and enthusiastic about life again.

Do you find yourself having a difficult time coping with anxiety, depression, and trauma? Do you have a hard time communicating and setting boundaries with others? Life is full of obstacles and hardships that may be difficult to overcome without the right tools, resources, and, guidance leading to the manifestation of these symptoms. I specialize in working with adults, couples, and adolescents using a Psychodynamic approach to explore unconscious thoughts and behaviors. In doing this, we are able to collaboratively recognize old ineffective patterns and process unresolved feelings and trauma.

Navigating life's challenges is never easy, but reaching out for help is a brave first step to living a more genuine and fulfilling life. I have expertise in working with individuals struggling with childhood trauma and trauma-related symptoms such as grief, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relational conflict. I believe every client is unique and deserves to be listened to and understood in an empathetic way. I am passionate about creating a safe, kind, collaborative and judgment-free space where clients can attain new insights, experience new feelings, and find a renewed sense of physical and mental well-being.

I specialize in working with children, teens and young adults who are experiencing struggles with identity development, low self-esteem, difficult life transitions, challenging family dynamics and/or symptoms of depression, anxiety and trauma. I am passionate about helping individuals explore all aspects of what makes them who they are. Many people come to therapy with mixed feelings and assumptions about the therapeutic process. My goal is to create a warm and nurturing space for individuals to explore themselves, build insight, and incorporate positive change in their lives.

I am a psychotherapist providing individual therapy services to children, adults, and adolescents. My clients often come to me having experienced significant pain in their lives. Together, we work to explore and heal those wounds. In our sessions, we'll prioritize a pace that feels both comfortable yet stimulating—creating a balance between safety and growth. My hope is that this space becomes one where you can simply be, without judgment or expectation, as we navigate through your emotions and experiences.

Do you feel stuck in your personal or professional life? Do the stresses of life's responsibilities become at times overwhelming----so much so that at times, it feels like it is hard to cope, or that everything is getting too hard to deal with? Remember it is perfectly normal to seek support from time to time. I can help you to become more aware of your conflicts and patterns of behavior that can get in your way. My goal is to help you move towards developing more satisfying ways to cope, find confidence, and gain control of your life.

I am licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience in counseling with adult individuals. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss, life transitions, trauma, work stress and cultural diversity issues. I also have a specialty interest in women’s issues including prenatal and postpartum mood disorders, fertility issues and traumatic losses.

In many ways good psychotherapy is like a successful remodel, frequently resulting in a stronger and more spacious sense of one's self, lovely new rooms, remarkable views and better access to the world outside (and in). The journey of self-discovery takes courage, but increasing one's awareness of old limitations and obstacles, and developing the ability to gently and carefully dismantle and rebuild where necessary is incredibly rewarding -- often beyond what we can imagine. I believe that it's a collaborative journey on which we embark, moving together towards creating a more fulfilling and rewarding life for you.

Are you feeling stuck in habitual, repetitive, and painful thought patterns? Feeling anxious and on edge, struggling with emotional overwhelm and burnout? Or have you lost your motivation and passion and are feeling sad and alone? I can help you develop insight into why you are struggling, and teach you how to turn your pain into growth and strength. Life can be difficult and painful, and we all, at times, struggle. You are not alone, and you can feel better; you deserve to feel better.

If you are struggling with mood, anxiety, motivation, energy, sleep, preparing for or adjusting to a new baby, having relationship turbulence, or difficulties at work or school, I may be able to help. I work with a lot of college students, parents, and corporate workers to help gain clarity, resolve symptoms, build resiliency skills, and get unstuck from unhelpful patterns. I have a specialty interest and intensive training experience in prenatal and postpartum issues and enjoy helping moms and dads navigate the beginning of parenthood. As a yoga student and teacher, I'm a big fan of using yoga practices to assist with healing.

I enjoy working with adults of all ages to address anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and provide compassionate guidance while navigating personal challenges. I view therapy as a collaborative process that offers a unique opportunity to gain insight into your internal and external worlds, relationships, and address your aspirations and goals. My therapeutic approach is warm, supportive, and engaging.

Most of us want to solve our own problems, but at times getting help is the wisest move, speeding progress and often bringing desired changes we didn't realize were possible. I help you connect with your inner wisdom and resolve problems while adding skills that bring resilience and strength. My approach is compassionate, non-judging, supportive, and tailored to your uniqueness. Therapy helps with most life challenges because it's really about personal growth: getting better at handling what life brings, and helping the wise, powerful, authentic you come to the forefront, take charge, find meaning, and engage fully.

I am a Psychiatrist specializing in Psychotherapy, Psychoanalysis and General Psychiatry. I'd like to welcome you to my practice. I'll work with you to build a connection that facilitates communication and that will support lasting change. I can help you establish more stability and satisfaction in your life and in your relationships, partner with you to develop more confidence in your decision making, help you weather losses, imagine and actualize what you'd like to do next, and think through problems in your most important relationships.

Hello and welcome! I understand how overwhelming life can feel at times. Challenges that arise related to adolescence, relationships, employment, parenthood, and partnership can contribute to feelings of anxiety, isolation, shame, self-doubt, and depression. As painful as these feelings and symptoms are, they present us with unique and powerful opportunities to grow beyond our suffering. My own life experience and work in therapy is what fuels my passion to help others grow and heal. I will meet you wherever you are at and journey with you to meet the goals you set for yourself.
