Welcome to my practice.
Thank you for visiting my website. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving Santa Clara County with an MA in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Therapy
Services
I work with youth, individuals, families, couples, and groups to support them through difficult emotions and transitions. With compassion and understanding I work to build upon your strengths and natural resources. Because I believe each of us is unique I use a variety of theoretic approaches in order to create an effective and personalized approach. If you are considering making changes toward a more fulfilling and satisfying life, therapy is a great place to start.
TRAUMA-INFORMED
Services
Trauma comes from experiences of violence, abuse, neglect, disaster, terrorism, and war. Many individuals around the world have been exposed to one or even multiple trauma experiences. Current research demonstrates that psychological trauma shapes the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of individuals. In my practice I utilize the Trauma-Informed approach focusing on “What has happened to you?” instead of “What is wrong with you?” Together we will address how your trauma experiences has impacted you. In collaboration we will work towards achieving safety, connection, and empowerment.
ExpressivE ARTS
SERVICES
Visual art, movement, drama, music, and writing are examples of art mediums that may be used in Expressive Arts Therapy sessions. In these sessions individuals can explore and transform emotional, social, spiritual, and relational issues through the use of creative arts. Individuals can identify strengths and experience new creative insights about themselves or a specific situation through their participation in the sessions. The session is focused on the process of creation instead of the final product which allows for the individual to gain access to their inner resources for healing without fear of criticism or judgment. Expressive Arts Therapy is utilized with individuals of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds.
