Therapists in Palo Alto, CA

Do you find yourself busier than ever but lacking a sense of depth, meaning, and connection in your life? I specialize in helping professionals like you through life transitions, such as midlife re-evaluations and relationship/career changes. I work with you to rebalance life's priorities and to discover new areas of meaning and purpose. We'll work together to reconnect you with the things you feel you've lost touch with: a felt connection to your body and soul, real intimacy with your loved-ones, access to your creativity, and a lively connection with your hopes and dreams.

Are you feeling more anxious than usual? Has it been harder to push through like you used to? Maybe you appear like you have it together on the outside, but on the inside, you feel defeated. Through a warm and collaborative process, I am here to help identify and understand the patterns that have kept you stuck. You may find that you only need short term therapy to help you get through a transition in your life or you may need more time to process and uncover what is behind your emotional struggle. My priority is guiding you to a life where you feel seen and valued.

Are you experiencing challenges dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship/family issues, and trauma/PTSD? Due to these symptoms, we can be in too much emotional pain and feel too stuck to reframe our perceptions or to find solutions to our problems. Childhood or recent trauma can cause emotional distress that can be difficult to process. I am here to support you in working through unresolved trauma and guide you toward healing. Therefore, you can feel empowered, rejuvenated, and enthusiastic about life again.

Finding the right therapist can be a difficult task. I hope to make that easier by telling you about myself and my approach. I received my doctorate in Counseling Psychology, a branch of psychology that takes into account the role of various cultural and environmental factors that shape each of us. This means that my approach to therapy is individualized and integrates information about your unique circumstances with my training in several different evidence-based treatments. My goal is to provide a safe environment where you can learn new techniques to cope with stress, build a life you value, and process difficult emotions.

Many of my clients are women, people of color, and 1st or 2nd generation immigrants. Navigating family relationships, trauma and chronic stress, and your relationship to work can be hard at times.

I particularly enjoy working with people who are exploring their identities, such as race, culture, gender, sexual orientation, and class. Common concerns include scarcity mindset and imposter syndrome, microaggressions, LGBTQ+ identity development, and immigration mental health.

The clients I work with are ready to better understand how their current and past stressors, relationships, and concerns are getting in the way of living life fully and enjoying it.

My professional philosophy with regards to physical, mental and sexual health is that everyone should be able to discuss their experiences in a safe environment.

My goal is to provide an accepting environment for clients to explore their needs and wants. Therapy is an effective and confidential way to grow as a person and learn healthy ways to connect with others and yourself.
