Therapists in Santa Clara, CA

Welcome- you already took the first step in wanting change. Next we can schedule an initial call to see if it feels like a good fit. It starts with us connecting, to have a chat. The therapeutic relationship is so important in feeling safe, supported and motivated in your work. We work as a team to help you feel better, about yourself and your life. With a calm, genuine, approachable nature, I offer an experience where individuals feel supported and encouraged in growth. I specialize in anxiety- panic, stress, perfectionism/high expectations, OCD, anxious-avoidance, depression, self-esteem, and work/life balance. I also supervise.

Are there obstacles keeping you from having better quality of life? Do you feel low energy, motivation or difficulty making decisions? Are you experiencing sleep difficulties, worries or anxiety? Are you stuck in relationships, feeling powerless in changing your loved ones' views or actions? Processing through difficult transitions, communication difficulties with your children or parents, dealing with mood disorders (Depression, Bipolar), anxiety, addictions, and pain disorders are other major issues that your family can struggle with. I can help you in dealing with family and marital conflicts, while feeling in control of your life.

Hello, and thank you for viewing my profile. Over the past 30 years, I’ve had the privilege to work with clients in a variety of settings, including clinical, residential, and for the past 13 years, private practice. Throughout that time I've helped clients resolve a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I also have extensive experience treating clients whose lives have been negatively impacted by alcohol and other drugs, and with others who are struggling with compulsive behavior related to video gaming, gambling, and internet porn.

Are you lonely, feeling depressed and hopeless thinking that life has passed you by? Are you struggling with a transition in your life: empty nest, divorce, newly married, or the loss of a loved one or a new job? I have worked with individuals, couples and families struggling with these issues. I help clients acquire direction and tools to move beyond old "non working"patterns in their lives. I work to see your growth through empowerment, direction and education.

Relationship issues? Do you suffer from anxiety? Does low self-esteem get in the way for you of having the life you really want? Maybe you are seeking insight into why you can't let go of past events that have impacted you. I can help. I believe strongly in the idea that everyone has the ability to heal themselves and at times may need additional support or guidance along the way. At the core of my therapeutic style, is the belief that a foundation of mindfulness and cultivating a healthy relationship to self is where healing and wholeness begin.

Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed? Have you tried everything you can think of to solve the problem, change your circumstances, or just feel better on your own? If you're deep in the mire of anxiety and depression, trying to make a positive change, or just barely managing to make it through the day, it can be tough to think that things could be different. You can feel frustrated, disconnected, and stuck. Getting the right support can be the ticket to moving out of being stuck and taking steps toward living the life you'd like to be living.

I am offering tele-therapy through video and/or phone . I offer supportive / transformative psychotherapy for a variety of issues and concerns including relationship conflicts, grief and loss, stress management, depression, anxiety, trauma, family and marriage relationships, including sexual and intimacy issues in relationship. I assist clients in finding happier and healthier ways of being in their lives, help them to enhance communication skills; promoting positive and lasting change.

Hi- thank you for selecting my profile. I draw from the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) model and see individuals, couples, and children dealing with a broad range of challenges, such as: Stress/Anxiety/Depression, managing Work/Life/Balance, marital/relationship/communication discord, behavioral challenges in children/adolescents, trauma/PTSD, grief, infertility/postpartum worries, social anxiety, diversity/belonging struggles, and workplace stressors.

If you or your child is struggling with depression, social relationships or having trouble coping with other difficulties life has thrown at you it is time to ask for help. You can get comfort and learn the skills to cope with anxiety, grief, social fears etc. Talking to a therapist can be the first step towards a more joyful and satisfying life. I work with children, teens, and adults, couples, and families. Child therapy sessions involve play therapy and the use of creative art materials. Sometimes just having someone to listen can make all the difference.

At its best, therapy provides a safe, supportive environment where you can be heard and valued for the unique person that you are. Having someone in your corner to help you process past hurts and pinpoint and remove barriers to authentic, happy living can be indispensable. I enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds to identify areas for growth and healing. As someone who used to work in the corporate and entertainment worlds prior to becoming a therapist, I am sensitive to the challenges we face trying to lead balanced, healthy lives, and I welcome the opportunity to help you achieve greater insight and fulfillment.

I provide an environment of safety and acceptance, where new understandings and confidence can develop and flourish. Recognizing that our feelings and previous experiences affect such issues as intimacy, the challenge of illness, coping with stress, life's transitions, loss, and sense of purpose, my approach to psychotherapy integrates concepts of treating the mind and body. I work with individuals and couples to facilitate change toward increased contentment and vitality, and have particular expertise in helping clients cope with the experience of chronic or acute medical conditions.

As you consider working with a therapist, you are taking a step towards improving your life, examining what needs to be changed and building upon what is already working. Life can get better and you have the power to change it. During difficult times, it is important to either develop healthy support systems or utilize the ones that we already have. Seeking therapy is one piece of a healthy support system. You are acknowledging that some aspects of your life may not be going well and need to be changed. Therapy can help put life in perspective.

For over 10 years, I have offered individual and couples therapy to people who are challenged by depression and anxiety, particularly due to relationship issues and struggles in making major life decisions (e.g. divorce, career change, becoming a parent). I have special expertise in sexual acting out and, in addition to other treatment modalities, lead groups to treat this.

Are you easily overwhelmed by emotions? Do you find that you frequently try to snuff out or avoid sadness, anger, shame, or other strong feelings? If your experience is that your mood or emotions are in the drivers' seat on the road of your life (or holding the remote control to your mind) I can help you regain power and develop greater freedom and flexibility within. As your therapist and guide, I can help you learn strategies and tools for managing difficult life problems and the intense emotions they create. I can help you overcome painful circumstances and build the life you want to live.

Are you ready to make positive and lasting changes? You are definitely more than just your problems, but sometimes our problems get so big they are all we can see. When you are in my office you are seen and treated as a whole person with both strengths and struggles. I believe that therapy works best when it happens in the safety of a trusting, supportive, and collaborative relationship. My style can be best described as flexible as my interventions are based on the unique needs of my clients.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? ...anxious? ...stressed out by work? ... stuck on marital problems?...or isolated because no one understands you? You are not alone: in these times problems are endless and people frequently feel helpless. One of solutions is to talk to a professional who can help to sort out the problems, thoughts and emotions. My passion is to help people discover their own power, strength and self-awareness so that they will not need a therapist in the future.

As a therapist who works with both individuals and couples, I provide practical suggestions, empowering techniques and dynamic interaction to my therapy approach. I conduct every therapy session as if it were the first and last so that something significant is gained from every session. I am here to provide focused professional attention to individuals, families and couples in distress - helping people get their lives back on track one individual at a time.

Now more than ever people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and challenged by the many demands in our lives. Managing relationships, parenting, and work/life balance can leave us feeling lost and confused on how to move forward. And sadly, not addressing these challenges can lead us to feeling like we’re drowning and far from living a fulfilling life. We believe that it shouldn’t be so hard to live better. We can change for the better, and a lot of times, all we need is support, understanding, and hope to find those answers in a collaborative and comfortable environment.

Writer John O'Donohue defines my view of being a therapist: "This is what therapy is about: helping people retrieve what has been lost to them, wakening and bringing home their fundamental wholesomeness.. Therapists are like poets: they draw on the power of words in the profoundly creative work of bringing people fully alive to themselves, awakening in them the human capacity for divine imagination that ‘dreams our completion’.”
