I'm an open minded individual and welcome any topics in treatment
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 have a deep commitment to seeing people flourish in relationship to themselves, and to others. For many of us, we have some sense of what makes relationships great and what makes them terrible. Knowing and experiencing what makes great relationships stronger, and what turns terrible relationships around, is where I can work alongside you. As someone who has been stepped in Attachment science, I love allowing for people to make more coherent sense of their internal world, to build or restore bonds with others.
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT 123208. I worked as a teacher and decided to go back to school and continue my education, to enable me to work with families, couples and individuals in a therapeutic setting. My focus is family, marriage and couples counseling. I have experience working with families that have unconventional lifestyles. In addition, I have experience working with couples, teens, groups and children. I have worked with the school district as a mental health counselor, as well as conducted group therapy in all settings. I am trained in Gottman Method for Couples and Bariatric Assessment certified.
•Couples Counseling •Specialization in Gottman Method and Sex Therapy. Individual Adult, Tween & Teen Counseling •Anger Management, ADHD, ADD. Certified Bariatric Assessments. Supervision for Interns. Family Therapy, and court appointed therapist for Reunification Therapy.
I believe that each individual has a purpose and that sometimes we need assistance in finding our purpose. Let me help you find your own purpose or regain focus on your life's path to feeling satisfied in the life you are living. I am available via online or in person and licensed in California and Arizona.
I am direct, forward looking, empathetic and a good listener.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in San Jose
Searching for couples therapists in San Jose starts with identifying what you want to work on together. Couples therapy may focus on communication, repeated conflict patterns, trust after infidelity, major life changes, parenting disagreements, or premarital concerns. If you are also comparing couple counseling San Jose, marriage counseling San Jose, or unmarried couples counseling options, look for a therapist whose profile lists specific couples experience. Not all therapists have training in couples work, so it can help to look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists trained in approaches like the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy.
In San Jose, finding one therapist who works for both partners can depend on schedule, location, and appointment format. Local in-office options may be more limited in some neighborhoods, so virtual couples therapy can expand the number of therapists available across the Bay Area. As you compare San Jose couples therapy options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a brief consultation for both partners to assess fit. Reading profiles can also show how a therapist structures sessions, communicates with couples, and supports shared goals.
Couples therapy in San Jose, CA can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you search for couples therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, compare profiles, and book directly when you are ready. This makes it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, works with your schedule, and is accepting new clients.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
