Couples therapists in Los Gatos, CA

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience working in community mental health, co-occurring substance use treatment, and residential care settings. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use challenges, mood disorders, relationship stress, and major life transitions.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel heard, respected and supported without judgement. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I draw from CBT, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based approaches to help clients build insight, emotional stability, and healthier coping strategies.

I work with adults and couples who feel stuck in patterns that insight alone hasn't changed. Specializing in Veteran care, anxiety, depression, and gender affirming care, I will provide a focused, grounded, and effective approach to therapy. My practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) is centered on helping clients clarify what is maintaining their difficulties and develop practical and sustainable ways of shifting them.

There is so much growing that we do in our teens & young adulthood (and our adulthood too!), whether we want to or not. I know how overwhelming it can be, especially with so many factors at play (culture, trauma, world events, etc). As your therapist, I’m here to support you through all this.

I am someone who:

• Works with BIPOC, children of immigrants, LGBTQ+, & neurodivergent teens, young adults, adults, & those who are grieving
• Is trauma informed, & community/justice oriented
• Knows how the systems at play affect us daily & at a deeper unconscious level
• Creates a safe space for you to explore the parts of your life that may feel too difficult to hold on your own

If you want any of the following, then I am the therapist for you:

• Work through your relationships, life events, &/or grief using talk therapy & body-centered approaches
• Process life events, ideas, feelings with thought provoking questions
• Support in navigating relationships & your inner world in any capacity
