I see clients for

Individual therapy
(408)475-0078
I believe that each person is the expert in their lived experience, and creating a safe, welcoming space allows for exploration and growth. It is through this secure environment that my clients can explore their feelings, build resilience, and develop problem-solving skills. Art and play are languages that help find meaning for clients too young to know the words or for clients who need something deeper than their words can express.

My greatest tool is a curiosity about your life's journey, your struggles and accomplishments, your passions and fears. I believe in working with a client's strengths to help them overcome their challenges.

My goal is to create a secure, collaborative, and welcoming space for your child (and you!) to explore and grow.
