Therapists in Santa Clara County, CA

I believe being in an equilibrium state is one of the keys to maintain a healthy well being, however, we often face many challenges that could easily lead to a disequilibrium. My role as a therapist is to work with you collaboratively in order to address your needs, to guide you in understanding how your past experiences shape your present self; to help you in identifying your thought patterns and emotions that affect your behaviors; and to coach you so that you are equipped when dealing with different life challenges. By working as a team, you will eventually be able to restore the balance and maintain a healthy well being.

I believe that healing is an art that takes time, practice, and love. Your healing needs to be done with upmost care and with the greatest intentions. As an intergenerational trauma specialist, you and I will become archeologists of your past, uncovering the missing pieces to help you become whole again. In this journey, we leave no stones unturned. Though I work with most individuals and couples, I especially love to work with mothers, healers, therapists, nurses, and those in the caring field. I also love to work with artists, writers, and soul seekers who wants to better connect with themselves to further their creations.

I enjoy helping people discover the courage to explore their emotional lives indepth and make healthy changes. I feel honored and hopeful when a person has come in to share their life story with me.

For many of us, life can be complicated and throw unexpected things our way. Additional outside support can be just what is needed to get us re-centered and back on the life path that we want to be on. As a trauma informed therapist, I meet with adolescents and adults struggling with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, self injury/harm, difficult life transitions (including work and school stress), and relationship problems. We will work together to create tools and strategies to help get you feeling better and back where you want your life to be.

Are you feeling frustrated, confused, stressed, depressed, or lost? Living a human life means learning to live with the human condition and the challenges that arise as a result - mortality, relationships, conflict, emotionality, suffering, and change. Therapy can help you adapt and adjust to experiences that can often be challenging and confusing; experiences that you may not always have the skills or insight to address. Therapy is meant to be a safe environment for you to process your experience of life to get emotional support, helpful feedback, and a healing perspective.

I work with youth that have big personalities! They are complex, intense, passionate, independent, curious and very loving. They are also very smart, charismatic, and creative. They are all or nothing! One minute they are laughing, the next they are screaming. These children experience reduced filtering and advanced processing of information which causes them to have a hypervigilant stress response system. This affects learning, motivation, memory, the pursuit of pleasure, and self-regulation. This neurobiological quality is behind their intensity and originality. However, the right environment is key for their healthy functioning!

I work with adults with low motivation, feelings of inadequacy, loneliness, people pleasing, and irritability. Some have suffered through a great deal of disappointments in life and can't find the level of fulfillment that they deeply wish for. I also have a keen interest in working with people with high sensitivity, and those who wish to deepen their understanding of childhood experiences or trauma. Whatever feelings, or symptoms, you are struggling with, they DO serve a purpose. They are unconscious but adaptive methods to communicate something important about your life. Let's discover what it is.

As a person of color born and raised in the Bay Area, I truly believe in my task and role as a therapist to reach those who feel as though their story is unheard and invalidated by the world we currently live in. My strengths as a therapist consist of gaining over nine years of experience working in the field of mental health as a mental health clinician under the non-profit realm and private practice within Santa Clara County.

My ideal client wants to enjoy their life and relationships more, notices patterns repeated in their lives, is reflective, perhaps insightful. Though many of us were wounded in childhood, few of us have had the opportunity to work through the challenges life presents. I look through the lens of our history and relationships to get under the surface of our symptoms. Our time together will bring relief from worries, fears, stress, low self-esteem & self-blame which greatly constrict our lives. I connect clients . I work with separating & divorcing families, where circumstances are particularly challenging and parents want less stress.

Navigating the internet, immersing in anime, or diving into the gaming community can create both coping skills and stress within ourselves. It’s not uncommon to meet clients who’ve been left with many questions due to feeling targeted by their TikTok algorithm. I approach this by providing a safe space in which you can explore, reflect, and communicate freely, tailored to your unique experiences. As a telehealth provider, I aim to have services be just as beneficial and fulfilling as in-person services.
