Saratoga, CA - Accepting clients in CA
Hi there, I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist that provides therapy to clients all over California via my Telehealth platform. Since receiving my degree from Santa Clara University I have helped teens, families, and individuals uncover their unique strengths and find the healing they are looking for. I guide individuals in exploring their internal system, comprised of different parts that influence their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Have you ever said, “Well, a part of me wants this, but another part wants that?” It’s true that often we can see several sides to an issue, creating inner conflict with seemingly no resolution.

Los Gatos, CA - Accepting clients in CA
As a licensed clinical social worker, I bring a compassionate and client-centered approach to help adults navigate life's complexities. With expertise in mental health and a commitment to fostering positive change, I specialize in addressing issues such as stress, relationships, and self-discovery. My therapeutic toolkit includes evidence-based modalities tailored to your unique needs.
In my practice, I incorporate animal-assisted therapy as a unique and supportive element of the healing process. Whether it’s the calming presence of a therapy dog during sessions or structured therapeutic activities involving animals, I’ve found that the bond between humans and animals can open up powerful pathways for trust, regulation, and emotional connection. Animals can offer a grounding presence for clients of all ages and backgrounds, and I love seeing the ways they help people feel more comfortable, understood, and at ease.

I'm an insight oriented therapist meaning I assist clients in illuminating their inner workings and wounds that have created struggles in their lives. I work at a level of healing and empowering with the intention to offer guidance rather than to instruct. You are the expert of your life.

This allows individuals to move into greater appreciation and acceptance of self.
I have worked for several years with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families with a strong focus on personal acceptance, self-compassion, and resolution of internal conflicts based in trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, or lack of direction and focus in one’s life. I specialize in substance abuse and addiction treatment.

I approach our first session with wanting to know exactly where you are and what you need today. This is because people usually book a therapy session with an issue in mind, or with a problem to solve. I assure you that if you are motivated to change your mindset and ready to work on yourself, that you will feel more peaceful and calm with just one session, and you will leave knowing that you will be able to solve what is going on.
We tend to be harsh and critical of ourselves thinking that will promote change when that only causes us to procrastinate and feel depression and anxiety. To address this I offer you my book endorsed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama on self-forgiveness- find it on Amazon and in Barnes & Noble, "The Chiron Effect: Healing Our Core Wounds through Astrology, Empathy, and Self-Forgiveness."
I offer you my podcast- "All Things Therapy," which can be found on iTunes and Spotify. It is a mental health and wellness-focused podcast with over 410 episodes for you to dig into.

Kings Beach, CA - Accepting clients in CA
I help people achieve meaningful, lasting change by supporting them through a process of deep self-awareness, healing, and intentional action. This results in increased self worth, a deeper sense of confidence, and stronger relationships. Together, we work to uncover and break through limiting beliefs to create space for growth, resilience, and transformation. My approach empowers you to reconnect with your most authentic self while fostering clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being. I truly believe that no matter where we are starting from change is possible to create a fulfilling life.
This therapeutic space allows us to show up exactly as we are. We will work through difficult emotions, thoughts, and beliefs about ourselves in a safe, non-judgmental space.
I understand the challenges that come with mental health issues and life in general. My focus is to provide a safe and supportive environment for clients to heal and grow. With a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I work with individuals to address their unique needs and help them develop the tools and skills necessary to overcome their struggles and cultivate their strengths. Whether you are struggling with an eating disorder or other mental health issues, I am here to support you on your journey to recovery and help you achieve a quality of life that feels good to you.

Here are two hard truths about psychotherapy:
(1) Most psychotherapy doesn't result in lasting positive change.
(2) The potential benefits of therapy come in the early stages of treatment, declining sharply as time goes on.
That's why I specialize in intensive short-term psychotherapy. It has been shown to help people find the roots of their emotional difficulties, and work through them in briefer time frames. Why wait years for greater peace of mind?
