For over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals untangle the weight of trauma, stress, and life’s most difficult experiences. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Whether you’re feeling on edge, disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, therapy can be a place to finally exhale.

Therapist

Virtual • California


As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I have spent the past eight years walking alongside individuals as they navigate some of life’s most difficult chapters. I have had the honor of supporting survivors of trauma and abuse, individuals living with depression, anxiety, and ADHD, victims of crime, and those carrying the unique challenges of immigration-related stress.

I believe every person has a story that deserves to be heard with compassion and without judgment. My role is not to tell you who to become, but to help you reconnect with the strength, resilience, and wisdom that already exist within you. Together, we create a space where healing can unfold, wounds can be understood, and hope can begin to take root again.

Whether you are carrying the weight of past experiences, feeling overwhelmed by the present, or searching for a path forward, you do not have to walk that journey alone.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, including 6 years providing therapy. My goal in session is to help you feel comfortable, at ease, and able to be yourself—without judgment.

I believe that when people feel safe and supported, real growth can happen. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges, and I focus on creating a space where you can talk openly, make sense of what you’re going through, and move forward in a way that feels right for you.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before coming in—we can take it one step at a time together.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in San Jose

Finding a postpartum therapist in San Jose starts with identifying the type of support you need. Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety are among the most common concerns new parents face, but perinatal mental health also includes challenges like adjusting to parenthood, birth-related stress, relationship changes, and difficulty bonding with your baby. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, or psychologist — who has specific training or experience in perinatal mental health care. Some providers hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C), which signals specialized expertise.

With a large number of mental health providers practicing across San Jose, Campbell, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and the broader South Bay, narrowing your search can feel like one more task on an already full plate. Consider what matters most: a provider who offers virtual sessions you can attend during nap time, someone who speaks your language, or a therapist whose approach matches your preferences. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and specialties before you commit.

Therapy in the San Jose area can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront — and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
