My clients often tell me that what they needed most wasn't advice — it was someone who truly listened, who could help them make sense of what they were feeling and find a path forward. That's what I'm here to do!

Hello,
I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist in California. My goal as a therapist is to support you in your journey to regain trust in your unique strengths and overcome life's challenging situations, and help you make your life happier and more meaningful. My style is warm, collaborative, and culturally sensitive.
I have been in practice for over a decade, and work with a wide range of conditions including trauma, depression and complex life transitions.
I enjoy being part of a client's process of learning ways to make their life work and help them feel good about themselves. I have psychiatric, educational, and life experience of 20 years in the field. This is dynamic counseling involving new tool and ways to look at situations. The 60 minutes session will give you at least one tool to help you do your life in a different way. Then we refine tools the next week. Goal setting and review will be part of your therapy work.
My passion is to help others find more joy and meaning in their lives. I work creatively and collaboratively with adults, teens, and children to explore the heart of the matter. I have experience working in the schools, with a team at a counseling clinic, and in private practice. I specialize with teenagers and their families and moving into couples work as well.
I have close to two decades of experience treating adults, children, and families in the Bay Area. My focus is on providing integrative psychotherapy (IP). IP is an approach that is generally flexible with an inclusive attitude toward the different psychotherapeutic models depending on the client's needs.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in San Jose
Searching for therapists in San Jose starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. Provider profiles can show whether someone uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what you can expect from sessions.
San Jose has a broad mental health care market, with therapists practicing across neighborhoods and nearby communities like Almaden, Campbell, and Cupertino. In-person therapy may work well if you want an office near home, work, or school. Virtual therapy can add more scheduling options, especially if commute time or a busy calendar shapes your search. Before booking, review each therapist’s availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their communication style in their bio.
Therapy in San Jose can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, check your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
