I work especially well with thoughtful, curious people who lean towards growth (or want to!) even in the midst of uncertainty, pain or ruptures in their relationships. Those that have experienced Childhood Trauma may notice issues with intimacy, loneliness/isolation, anxiety, depression, difficulty expressing emotions, interpersonal conflict, low self-esteem, and built up anger. These Adverse Childhood Experiences shape our early life and lay the foundation for harmful patterns regarding how we see ourselves, each other, and the world. Support from a professional can be a way to break cycles and tap into a better version of you.

Going to therapy can be intimidating for many because it forces the person or people to admit to needing help. I recognize that struggle and meet each person with understanding and honesty. With me, a person will learn lifelong skills and tools that can be utilized in all aspects of their lives. I can meet in Los Gatos and San Jose.

Maybe you've been stuck and unable to see your way forward, or feel a burden you can't quite relieve. Often times we can find our way with the support of family or friends. But sometimes we need the help of a certified professional. I view therapy through the lens of self compassion, understanding and collaboration. It is a moving dialogue that shapes our healing. The development of a therapeutic relationship and interventions are individualized because mental health treatment is more than treating symptoms and a diagnosis.

I work with women and highly sensitive people who are struggling with anxiety and want to understand how their family and upbringing have affected them so that they can grow out of those patterns. Sometimes this can be setting better boundaries, creating closer relationships, or receiving brainspotting to heal from childhood attachment trauma/emotional neglect. I also provide animal-assisted therapy with my canine partner, Emi. She is a highly sensitive dog who struggles with anxiety as well, but she loves people and enjoys helping clients feel happy and safe.

I work with women with anxiety in life transitions. Break-ups, job transitions, graduations, moving out, retiring from athletics. They feel stuck, destabilized, and unsure of who they are now. Perhaps they didn't know who they were before either. Sometimes these transitions can bring up problems with relationships, friendships, their family, their identity, spiritual issues, eating issues, and grief. They tend to be people-pleasers, have high expectations, and feel like they are not good enough.
