Self Esteem Therapists in Cupertino, CA
Pain is a natural part of life, but suffering is not inevitable. Suffering comes from avoiding our emotions. Although avoiding emotions can temporarily reduce anxiety, it ultimately limits our ability to live a fulfilling life. Effective therapy involves learning to confront our internal reactions openly and honestly. The more we accept life's challenges, the less we rely on harmful defense mechanisms. The kind of therapy I practice is about seeing, understanding, and letting go of these mechanisms so that the truth can emerge and do its healing work.

First, I want to honor and acknowledge your courage in seeking therapy. I believe that all individuals have the ability to seek growth, connect to their values, and are generally trying to do their best with the cards that life has dealt them. My hope as a therapist is that I can provide you with an authentic and safe connection that provides a space for you to tap into your ability to heal. In therapy I will work as your ally from a non judgmental stance and respect your own individual sense of agency.

Sometimes circumstances in life can feel unbearable and we do not know how we are going to get through it. Experiencing trauma, a pandemic, racism, loss, pressures of work, school, relationships, and family issues can make us feel overwhelmed leading to all sorts of undesirable reactions and behaviors. Our need for inner peace and healthy coping is crucial for our mental, spiritual, and physical health. Practicing healthy ways of dealing with our emotions can help us feel calm and safe which our nervous system needs. We then, can respond to life in a healthier way.

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Do you long for a greater sense of well-being and/or fulfillment in life? When our needs are unmet or injured, it can result in distorted thinking and ineffective behaviors. We may feel unable to move past anxiety, depression, grief, fear, despair, anger, or trauma, and move into self-protection, isolation, or avoidance in order to cope. By creating a nurturing, nonjudgmental environment where it's safe to express feelings and emotions, I believe that we will identify root issues and move beyond coping to restoration. Contact me for a FREE 15-minute phone consultation!

I am an experienced psychotherapist who gets how hard life and therapy can be. I take an honest, empathetic, humorous and direct approach to our work and value the relationship we’ll make. Life is just one relationship after another, whether it be with your partner, your boss, or your phone and each has a positive and negative effect. My job is to help you untangle and understand those relationships to help you feel more connected, happy and maybe get that promotion.

As a therapist, I look for the basic goodness of human beings and try to bring clients having locus of control in their lives and share perspectives leading clients to feel liberated so they find the meaning of life; fulfillment and happiness. This takes practice, as our minds naturally scan for the negative, but if we try, we can almost always find something good about you and others which will lead us to heal and peace and may bring harmony and joy to our life.

Are you an “overthinker” with complex feelings that are hard to put into words? Do you feel misunderstood, lonely, isolated, or unfulfilled? Are you striving to please others at the expense of yourself? Perhaps you feel exhausted, overworked, over-stressed, and as though you're never enough. You may crave a deep connection with yourself, your loved ones and the world around you...but may also find yourself struggling to make sense of the world. Unexpectedly life-changing or stressful events can increase these feelings, and hope for change can seem so far away. If so, you're not alone. I warmly welcome you to my practice.
