“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

I’m here for you.
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #91068. I conduct in-person sessions and virtual sessions from my office in Los Gatos, California.
I have been working in the mental health field since 2008. I have a range of experience and training in working with teens, adults, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, adjustment, trauma, body image issues, and high relational conflict. I am passionate about engaging individuals interested in collaboratively working with me to improve one's perception of their stress and practice the tools to manage symptoms impacting their daily life functioning.
My treatment focus is working with adolescents and young adults experiencing challenges in their transformation into new phases of life. Including facilitating middle-school-aged groups and providing parent-focused therapy to enhance relationships and improve communication with their teens. I am from the South Bay Area and understand the pressures to enhance performance and achievement. I aim to support high school and college-age individuals in their transition into higher education, manage expectations and the skills needed to regulate emotions.
A client centered approach
Combining elements from evidence based treatment modalities-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Additionally, I maintain a culturally-sensitive and attachment lens in applying my previous experience and training in Trauma Informed Care.
