Video Game Addiction Therapists in Sunnyvale, CA
As human beings we learn, develop meaning, and create a sense of purpose through each other and the relationships we form. In the same spirit I believe the therapeutic process is driven by the relationship formed between the client and the therapist. This is why my approach in therapy is guided by the question - "How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for their personal growth?" I strive to create an empathic, nonjudgmental atmosphere where you feel safe and empowered to work toward personal growth and creating lasting change; forming trust and leaning toward vulnerability.

No one has a perfect childhood. Early stressors, abuse, and neglect can continue to have profound effects on all of us and can manifest as depression, anxiety, anger, and low-self esteem. As we continue through life, enduring pain and distress, we often learn to suppress our emotions and neglect our needs in order to get by. My goal in therapy is to provide a supportive space that belongs to you, in which you may share as much as you are willing and at a pace that you are comfortable with. While working together, I aim to help you undo old ways of being and to help you begin fostering a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

The world has changed in the last few years and many of us have survived as best as we could through innumerable challenges.

During challenging times, a lot that we've taken for granted - health, finances, career, dating - can feel precarious. I help people to recognize any self-limiting assumptions or self-sabotaging beliefs. In a therapeutic relationship, we work toward acceptance, empowerment and broadening your own narrative to improve your mood and free up creative energy. Trained in Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Interpersonal Therapies (IPT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapies, I also draw from traditional psychodynamic theory (including attachment) and mindfulness approaches to help facilitate your own desired change.
