You make choices every day.
Choose who you will become.
You are probably reading this because you have a problem. Or perhaps life is painful just now. You may even know what you need to do, but somehow you just can't do it. Things like this happen to everyone. Right now, they're happening to you.
Your life—like everyone else's—moves forward, greatly influenced by the choices you make every day. Even refusing to choose is a choice, but it's usually not a good one. As someone once said, "If you keep on doing what you've always done, you will keep on getting what you have always got."
You have already made one choice: to consider trying something different. That's brave, that takes guts. Now I invite you to let me help.
I work with women, men, couples, and teens of all ethnicities in a safe, gentle, respectful way. I can help with many problems, including anger management, depression, anxiety, negative thoughts and behaviors, relationship problems, and more. You are the expert in your life; what I add is expertise, insight, and experience that can help you reach the goals you can't reach by yourself.
I'm here to help. Give me a call and let's get started—408-207-5652.

Theoretical Orientation
I use multiple kinds of therapy, based on what what is most likely to help. Often, distorted thinking can be identified and corrected. Sometimes, problems have their roots in past events, especially negative childhood experiences. The counseling you receive will be customized to what you want to accomplish and what you are able to do.
Among the theories I draw from are the following:
- Attachment
- Humanistic/Existential
- Cognitive-Behavioral
- Schema Therapy
- Family Systems
- Emotionally Focused Therapy
