LGBT therapists in San Jose, CA

More that fifteen years of teaching English and drama at a Los Angeles public high school taught me many things - primarily, it taught me how often people's barriers to achievement are not due to any lack of skill or ability, but rather from emotional barriers stemming from stress, adversity and trauma. So, I went back to graduate school to pursue a new career as a therapist so that I could help in a different way. My training and experience has focused on treating anxiety disorders, PTSD (including Complex-PTSD) and also couples - helping them to navigate challenges and triggers so that they can reset and reconnect.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Social Work. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), with extensive experience in both community settings and private practice. I specialize in supporting women through the unique challenges they face in life. I offer a compassionate, empathetic approach to help women navigate anxiety, depression, struggles with identity, and the journey toward recognizing their self-worth.

I believe everyone deserves a space where they can be fully seen, heard, and supported. My work is rooted in a holistic and culturally sensitive approach, honoring the many layers that shape who we are. Together, we work not just on what hurts, but on nurturing the parts of you that inspire growth, resilience, and joy.

I am a clinical psychologist with specialized training in trauma and relational modalities. We may be a good fit if you: • Value insight and depth. • Are curious about yourself and want to understand the "why". • Intuitively know that lasting change requires real work—and are ready for it.

If you are struggling with ADHD and/or symptoms of anxiety or depression or are dealing with difficult relationship issues or life transitions, I could be the therapist for you.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in anxiety, depression, addiction, and OCD. I work with adults, children, and couples. I utilize a client-centered approach with my clients, focusing in on my clients’ strengths to help them achieve success. I like to tailor my interventions and strategies around each client’s needs. Providing therapy is not just a job for me, it is my passion.

I'm a therapist offering in-person sessions in the Thousand Oaks area of Southern California, and telehealth to folks throughout California. I decided to become a therapist after many years of working in corporate America, and I have a Master's in Clinical Psychology and LMFT license.
