Anxiety Therapists in San Jose, CA

We are living through a difficult time right now. As a young student nurse, I was taught that we were overdue for a pandemic. Forty years later here we are. Feeling threatened by a micro-organism we cannot see. Then there is the uncertainty of how it will end and conflicting messages that bombard you. Your thoughts trigger your feelings. Thinking errors and cognitive distortions can add to your distress making feelings of anxiety worse. When we are unable to change situations, we need to change how we handle them. I will help you.

As an intern, I am hoping to work with folks seeking therapy to address challenges such as anxiety, depression, adjustment-related challenges, identity work, relationship issues, and challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ folks. I seek to work with populations that have historically faced barriers to accessing affirming and empowering mental health care.

I approach each client with unconditional acceptance and a genuine desire to witness and celebrate their authentic selves.

Life presents unexpected challenges which can cause anxiety, depression, hopelessness, difficulties with relationships and problems with self esteem.

I provide psychoeducational assessments for students who are having difficulty in school. Currently I am only providing assessments through an online platform. Striving to help these students understand their strengths and weaknesses, as well as gaining skills to help school become easier is my number one goal. Often my clients have teachers or parents who believe that the student might have a psychological, attention, or learning difference, which is preventing them from learning to the best of their abilities.

I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to seek out a therapist. As social beings, we all need support and at certain times we need it more than ever. Speaking to someone you can open up to and trust, knowing you will not be judged, can really make a difference in navigating emotional turmoil, relationships, stress, anxiety, processing trauma, and making our way through major life transitions. At times we may struggle with larger life questions such as, "Who am I?" and "What is my purpose in life?" I am here to help.

Our work together will be met with unconditional acceptance, creative approaches, and the utmost compassion.

Who you are: a millennial individual (or couple!) and finally ready to explore therapy. I help you articulate what’s at the root of your concerns: What's important to you? What do you value?

It is important to me that the space we create is compassionate, curious, reflective, and interactive. Common issues that I work on in therapy include life transitions, managing stress/anxiety, building your sense of Self, relationship concerns, and improving communication.

The diagnosis, the accident, the loss, the family dysfunction —these experiences can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and unsure of how to move forward.

My approach to therapy is primarily psychodynamic and depth-oriented, incorporating attachment theory, object relations, narrative therapy, and family systems.

"Grief does not change you...it reveals you."- John Green. Loss comes in many forms; death of a loved one, family trauma, end of a relationship or job, a move/loss of home, and health issues. Experiencing grief because of loss can make us turn away just when we need the most support. We can also get triggered at certain times, especially around the holidays. Reaching out takes courage and I provide a safe, nonjudgmental and caring space to help clients express complicated emotions, manage anxiety/sleep issues, learn coping skills and practice self-care during these life changing transitions.
