Interpersonal Therapists in Los Gatos, CA

The guiding purpose of my practice is to create an accepting and supportive environment for all my clients. My focus is building a genuine therapeutic relationship through trust and empathy so that clients feel safe and heard.

I would like to celebrate you on your path! You may be considering therapy for various reason. Whether obvious or obscure you most likely have a clear sense of wanting to feel better. You may even be hopeful about experiencing more joy in your life. To assist you in your process; I will do my best to support your comfort in disclosure, faith in the discovery process and acknowledgment of new insight and perspectives. I will also help build your experiential awareness and vocabulary. Together psychotherapy can foster in you a more positive outlook, fulfilling relationships and an embodied sense of vitality in your life!

My aim is to assist clients in being happier, healthier, and stronger as they encounter the hurdles that the different phases of life can bring. Whether those hurdles are internal, interpersonal or professional, most clients walk out of sessions feeling understood, really seen, smarter about themselves and their situation, and with real tools to positively affect their lives. Often interpersonal relationships prove the most challenging over time, triggering defensive/protective reactions that usually make things worse. Working in these arenas can bring valuable awareness, and offer pathways to challenge and change perspectives.

We've all been there, disoriented by one of life's unexpected challenges, wishing for clarity...& maybe hiding from a bit of truth as well. Research shows we are out of connection 66% of the time; learning better tools for managing conflict is key. We'll use the Gottman Method to re-architect communication strategies that remove barriers to relational success, so clients access deep, meaningful gains, yet unrealized in relationships, ...or perhaps lost along the way. Wherever you are on your relationship journey, these skills optimize relational protections & potential.

I integrate all my training in helping clients heal and transform their lives in the direction which honors living one's full potential/purpose. I work with individuals and offer women's expressive arts groups. The areas I have worked with include: mild - moderate anxiety, mild - moderate depression, stress reduction, communication skills, codependency, low self- esteem, relational issues, grief, social skill building, marital/divorce/relationship issues, women's issues, racial/ethnic/cultural concerns, meaning of life, life transitions, life purpose, identity questions, BIPOC issues, spiritual issues, and eco-related issues.

Each of us has a deep, loving intelligence that seeks expression in the world. We also have survival strategies formed early in life that often limit and inhibit our later lives and relationships. In my work with individuals, couples, and families, we unmask these strategies, and access the loving wisdom that is the deepest, essential nature of all human beings. This shift arises naturally and radically re-orients our world view and behavior toward others and toward ourselves. It unleashes our capacity for joy and creativity, and offers the only place from which to have a true relationship with the world and with others.

We all have the need to be seen, heard and valued. I would like to provide you a safe space and, a strength based approach for your journey. I strive to form a therapeutic relationship through trust and genuineness. Together we can work towards gaining new perspectives about your unique journey. Struggling with anxiety, depression, guilt, shame, low self-esteem can be extremely challenging. I understand and validate your difficulties, and with a little help you can work through your struggles and manage the cycle of stress.

I work with adolescents and adults of all ages to address a range of mental health needs. Commonly voiced concerns might include depression, anxiety, OCD, navigating major life transitions, work-related stress, interpersonal problems, loneliness, difficulties with intimacy, sexual functioning concerns, and issues related to aspects of ones identity (e.g. age, race/ethnicity, spirituality, ability status, etc.) with particular specialization in the areas of gender and sexuality. In addition to individual therapy services I also provide Emotionally-Focused Therapy for couples.

Hi there! I'm a neurodiverse therapist specializing in ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity work, OCD, religious trauma, and LGBTQ+ topics seeing clients via telehealth. I love working with those who are looking to set goals or are in a period of uncertainty. If you are someone who feels stuck, are in a transition phase of your life, or are looking for help navigating challenges, we can work together to find clarity. As a neurodiverse person myself, I take pride in creating a neurodiverse-affirming space for my clients, free from shame or judgement.

Life is complex at all ages, but we know that...right? Yet knowing this does not necessarily help or give us direction. In my work, I try to help guide people through this murky life, examine choices and explore options, personal history, and experience. I have a deep respect for my clients, for their wisdom and their struggles. I provide an encouraging and non-judgmental space to look at each unique concern and situation. I often explore the role of meaning and choice in our lives, and how both powerfully (but often invisibly) affect how we live our days.

Challenging situations can be nudges for you to take time and look inside to recognize them as opportunities to heal, grow, and to make changes needed to break free from feeling stuck, lead a more satisfying life, heal relationships, and bring you back to feeling like yourself again. Whether you're having some 'difficult to feel' or painful emotions, childhood trauma, feeling stuck in a relationship, going through a life transition, or just the uncertainty and stress of the world, therapy can be a wonderful place to begin to take time for yourself.

My job is to listen deeply to the sudden or persistent challenges that have come up in your life, work and relationships in order to bring more ease, clarity, and growth. During periods of pain & uncertainty, having support from a therapist can help you develop a fuller understanding of yourself and the steps needed to gain the sense of well-being you seek. This is especially true if you are feeling stuck in your relationships, overwhelmed by life, or seeking a deeper sense of meaning. Adults, couples and older teens are all welcome.

Hello! Periods of change and growth occur throughout life and often arrive with unexpected challenges. During these periods of uncertainty, having support from a counselor can help you gain clarity and confidence to take steps toward a greater sense of well-being. Whether you are feeling stuck in your relationships, overwhelmed by life, or seeking a deeper sense of meaning, I will work with you collaboratively to increase your capacity for resilience and connection. I enjoy working with adults, teens, children, and couples. I also have experience supporting the parent/child dynamic and sometimes work with parent and child together.

The best predictor of success in therapy is the relationship built between the client and the therapist. I create an environment where you will experience unconditional acceptance and a safe place to share your thoughts and feelings. Over the course of therapy, you will feel more confident in yourself, your decisions and build healthy coping skills. For 15 years I have helped my clients cope with a variety of issues including: depression, anxiety, parenting, divorce, affairs, eating disorders, relationships, communication, grief and loss, setting appropriate boundaries, increased self-confidence and self-esteem.

Your child has become a teenager, and now life feels like you're navigating a storm. They have mood swings, anxiety, and depression. These things have clouded their mind, causing school to be more stressful, creating identity struggles, and making the family dynamic seem overwhelming. Concerns about the future and low self-esteem have added to mounting pressure to find help. Your teen has also developed a technology addiction, leading to isolation and loneliness, while hindering their social connections. You know this is a critical time for your teen. It breaks your heart to see them struggle, and you wish you knew how to help.

My approach to counseling integrates evidence-based treatments (EMDR, DBT), mindfulness-awareness skills (MBCT, ACT) and person-centered counseling with art therapy theories and practices. In our sessions, I will work with you to increase wellness, improve your sense of self-compassion, build on your creativity and identify personal strengths. I will work with you to achieve the changes you seek in your unique journey of healing, growth, balance and sustained mental health in life.

I bring empathy, compassion and 30 years of experience to my holistic work with adults, children and teens. You are unique and my intent is to listen for your strengths and build on the positive as we gently remove blocks, trauma, thoughts, stressors and old relationship patterns that are holding you back. My style is warm and interactive and I incorporate my own intuition and creativity as I help people to make meaningful life changes.
