Female Therapists in Burlingame, CA

Life can be be busy and overwhelming. You may be anxious, depressed, or excessively worried. You may have difficulty focusing, making you feel unmotivated and unproductive. You may be feeling overly critical of yourself or loved ones and are having challenging relationships. The good news is that you have the resources you need to overcome those challenges. I have seen many people make positive changes, and I’m here to help you do the same.

When life is overwhelming, therapy offers guidance, support, and a safe place for healing. I work with children, teens, adults, and families using a holistic, mindfulness-based approach. My goal is to help you create positive, practical, and lasting change.

My role is to guide and help you in developing insight, greater satisfaction, and symptom relief. I provide support by discussing your concerns and feelings, and by helping you resolve and move towards your goals, such as fulfillment, belonging, to cope with hardship or to feel 'unstuck'. I guide you in examining your situation, struggles and relationships, facilitating deeper understanding and strengths to make positive shifts. My style is warm, collaborative and engaging. I compassionately promote therapeutic healing, growth & change. For youth, I practice a combo of play, talk and behavioral therapy, parent coaching/support.

You are so worried about your child. She cries everytime you drop her off at preschool and she is so shy at birthday parties that she won't leave your side. You thought she would outgrow this, but instead she seems to be more and more afraid of things. She is happy at home, but she still follows you from room to room. You just want her to relax and enjoy her childhood. You remember when your child first started school, how excited you were! You thought she would soon warm up and make friends. You want to be able to pick your child up from school and hear from the teacher that she was just fine once you left. You want to hear about what your child learned, and that your child played well with friends.

When you are going through a difficult time, seeking to heal a wound, or are embarking on a path of inner transformation, it can be healing to have someone walk beside you. Whether you feel you’re at your lowest low, or you’re experiencing a calling that is pulling your soul to be more of who you are: more authentic, able to see clearly, and feel the freedom to live beyond the limitations of fear, it is an honor for me to meet you there.

My practice is based on the assumption that all people need support and that progress toward achieving personal goals should be seen within a few sessions.

I truly believe a little time and effort focused on improving relationships can help so much. Contact me (email is best!) and we can set up a time to talk.

I provide psychotherapy for young children as well as adults. In my work with children, the goals is to strengthen the parent-child attachment as well as treat symptoms such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and other childhood conditions. In my work with adults, I provide a compassionate and down-to-earth approach that is relatable along with effective interventions to support clients to resolve areas in their life they are feeling stuck and unhappy.

Life can be tough and sometimes you find yourself overwhelmed facing challenging relationships, stressful changes, and painful past experiences. It can be difficult to know who to turn to for support and how to hold on to hope. Along the way, you can lose yourself and the ability to connect with those you love, often pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself. All of this can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe there is hope for you to take a step back from it all and learn to build a life you love living.

Every person has a unique story as to what brings them to therapy, whether it’s a big life transition or the feeling and need to find coping tools to navigate everyday life challenges.

"The deep learning that results in transformation must include the healing of hearts and souls. When spirit is thirsty, it is love, compassion, and truth that quench and satisfy." ~ audrey lorde ~ When we can be compassionate to our growth areas and be grounded in owning our talents and gifts, it may be easier to navigate our challenges and be open to opportunities. When we experience challenges we may need support to work through them. We can use these challenges as opportunities to renew and transform ourselves to have a better relationship with ourselves and others.

Therapy means many different things to different people. For some it is a journey of growth, self-awareness, and healing. For others it is necessary for them to survive. For some it is something they are mandated to do, and for many it is something they really want to do. No matter where you fall on this spectrum, I am here to support you through your process. Therapy is about where you are, where you want to go, what you want to explore, and joining you on your experience. I am here to listen, to guide you, focus you, support you and push you when needed.
