Hello,
I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist in California.

My style is warm, collaborative, and culturally sensitive.

I’m a licensed therapist trained in somatic psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. I work with individuals, couples, and men, supporting clients with anxiety (including social anxiety), depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions.

My goal is to help people better understand themselves, their patterns, and how they relate to others. I tend to be warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, while also being direct when it’s helpful.

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.
