An Emotionally Focused Therapist in San Mateo, CA
As a therapist specializing in emotionally focused therapy (EFT), I am passionate about helping individuals connect with their emotions and understand how life events and relationships shape their emotional state. I work with them to find out how past traumatic experiences caused vulnerabilities that make it hard for them to deal with their present life. In collaboration with the client, we examine how their actions, thoughts, and feelings are connected to their emotions and how we can change them so they feel better. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or a challenging life transition, I provide a safe, supportive space for exploration and growth as a trusted EFT therapist.

Restoring Harmony in Couples and Marriages
As a couples and marriage counselor, I focus on helping partners reconnect and rebuild trust. Couples come to me when they're stuck in emotional gridlock; I help them reconnect by identifying the unconscious emotions driving their words and actions. Tensions rising? Flames dying out? My couples therapy services are designed to help you break through the barriers holding you back. Together, we'll explore the strategies and techniques to help you create a more loving, supportive relationship. I strive to build a bridge between partners where both voices are amplified, and both hearts are comforted.

Family dynamics can be complex, but I believe they can also be a source of great strength. I offer family and mental health counseling in and around San Mateo, CA, to help families work through challenges and build healthier relationships. By addressing communication gaps and hurtles with a mental health therapist, we can break down barriers and forge lasting bonds - that's my goal. Family unity is within reach. I'm here to support your loved ones in shedding the weight of life's challenges and cultivating a deeper, more meaningful bond.

Testimony
"After 52 years of marriage, we still learned about many new ideas and resources to help us on our journey through life together. Being there to support each other as much as possible with each other's feelings is our answer, and it engenders safety as we move forward. We know we are never alone as we take on challenges to grow in capability. Thank you so much for teaching us all of this. It is very energizing and love-producing."
