As an experienced marriage and family therapist in California I am dedicated to helping you develop the personal and relational skills and strategies required to create and maintain a positive, meaningful life and healthy relationships. I provide therapy for couples, adults, teens and families in the Silicon Valley. Through my education, training, and experience, I have turned my commitment to helping others into a rewarding career in helping people like you improve how they feel. As part of my clinical practice, I provide a culturally responsive trauma informed approach so that you feel safe and accepted.

As a mindfulness-based therapist, I offer a warm and welcoming space for you to explore yourself and your life experience. This is the basis for discovering your own capacity to make meaningful change and growth in your life. My practice integrates the gentle openness of Eastern wisdom with the illuminating methods of Western psychology. Mindfulness helps cultivate a compassionate presence of mind and body and supports the more active process of Self-inquiry. Self-inquiry practices are drawn from the fields of Depth Psychology, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Voice Dialogue, Meditative Inquiry, The Work of Byron Katie and somatic therapy methods such as EMDR and Hakomi. Self-inquiry reveals and releases those beliefs and feelings that are inhibiting a fuller expression of your potential and aspirations. With greater clarity comes greater capacity for change. Our meeting time will provide you with a spacious and dynamic atmosphere for self-discovery and life transformation.
