Therapy for Working Professionals

Flexible Options That Work With Your Schedule

I offer both in-person sessions at my San Jose and Campbell offices and secure online therapy throughout California. Whether you're in Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, or Gilroy, I can work with your location and schedule needs.

Your relationship is as important as your career success. Yet many accomplished professionals find themselves struggling with the same communication patterns at home that they've mastered at work. I help couples break through these barriers and build stronger partnerships.

My goal is simple: help you learn to speak with each other effectively. Using a Collaborative Couples Therapy approach, I focus on helping partners truly listen to each other, understand their own feelings and reactions, find the courage to speak their truth in ways their partner can actually hear, and recognize feelings and values underlying what matters most to their partner.

Flexible meeting options work with your schedule. I'm comfortable meeting with couples online or in-person at either of my offices in Campbell or San Jose. This makes therapy accessible whether you're in Los Gatos, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Saratoga, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, or Gilroy. Sometimes I meet individually with each partner when that's preferred, but ultimately we're working toward better communication between you both.

One partner reluctant to attend? Starting individual work while your partner considers joining is often effective. Sometimes seeing positive changes in one person motivates the other to participate.

I work hard to ensure both partners feel seen, heard, and respected. Having been in couples therapy myself, I understand the natural fear that the therapist might "gang up" with one partner against the other. I help each person articulate why their choices make sense from their perspective, even when those choices create conflict.

Don't wait until it's too late. Most couples wait far too long to start counseling—often years into serious problems. The longer patterns persist, the more difficult they become to change. Early intervention when you first notice recurring conflicts can save your relationship significant pain.

Sessions are typically 50 minutes, once per week, though some couples benefit from more intensive approaches during crisis periods.

Ready to invest in your relationship the same way you've invested in your career?

Sometimes you need space to figure things out on your own. Whether you're a tech professional managing career stress, a father working to improve family relationships, or someone navigating major life changes, individual therapy provides the focused attention and personalized approach you need.

Adults: I work with high-achieving professionals who are successful at work but concerned about relationships, stress management, or personal fulfillment. Common issues include work-life balance, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and major life transitions.

Teens: Adolescence in Silicon Valley comes with unique pressures—academic expectations, social media stress, college preparation, and family dynamics. Whether your teen is in San Jose, Campbell, Los Gatos, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Saratoga, or surrounding areas, I help teens develop healthy coping skills, improve communication with parents, and navigate the challenges of growing up in a high-pressure environment.

Children: Young people are remarkably adaptable, but they sometimes need support processing family changes, school challenges, or emotional difficulties. I work with children to build resilience and emotional intelligence in age-appropriate ways.

The process is straightforward: Sessions are typically 50 minutes, once per week, though some situations benefit from more intensive approaches. I meet with clients at either of my offices in Campbell or San Jose, or online throughout California, serving families from Los Gatos to Mountain View, Santa Clara to Saratoga, and from Sunnyvale to Morgan Hill.

You're planning a wedding, but are you preparing for a marriage? Premarital counseling is one of the best investments engaged couples can make in their future together. While wedding planning focuses on one perfect day, premarital counseling helps you build skills for a lifetime of partnership.

Why do successful couples choose premarital counseling? Research shows that couples who participate in premarital counseling have significantly lower divorce rates and report higher relationship satisfaction. It's not because their relationships are perfect—it's because they develop tools to handle challenges before they become overwhelming.

What We'll Cover in Premarital Counseling:

• Communication Skills: Learning to really listen to each other and express your needs effectively
• Conflict Resolution: Healthy ways to disagree and work through differences
• Financial Planning Together: Money values, budgeting approaches, and financial goals
• Family Dynamics: Understanding how your families of origin influence your relationship
• Intimacy and Connection: Maintaining closeness through life's busy phases
• Future Planning: Career goals, children, living arrangements, and life priorities
• Managing Stress: Supporting each other through work pressures and life transitions

My approach is practical and forward-focused. We'll identify your relationship strengths and areas where you can grow together. Many couples find these sessions bring them closer and help them feel more confident about their decision to marry.

Perfect timing for busy professionals: I understand that engaged couples often have demanding careers and packed schedules. We can work around your timeline, whether you want several months of preparation or an intensive approach closer to your wedding date.

Both in-person and online options available. Meet with me at my San Jose or Campbell offices, or connect virtually if that works better with your schedules. I serve couples throughout Silicon Valley, from Los Gatos to Mountain View, Santa Clara to Saratoga.

Investment in your future: Most couples complete 4-6 sessions, though we can customize the approach based on your needs and timeline. Many couples continue with occasional "tune-up" sessions during their first year of marriage.

When a judge orders therapy, parents often feel frustrated and defensive. You didn't choose to be here, and you may feel like the "problem" is entirely with your ex-partner. I understand this isn't how you wanted to spend your time or money. My job is to help you make the most of this court-required process—for your sake and your children's.

I provide court-ordered co-parenting therapy, working with parents who need to find ways to cooperate despite their differences. This isn't about getting back together or becoming friends. It's about learning to work together as parents so your children can thrive in two homes.

My approach focuses on practical communication skills:

• Learning to truly listen to what your co-parent is actually saying
• Understanding your own feelings and reactions so you can respond rather than react
• Finding the courage to speak your truth in ways the other parent can actually hear
• Letting go of trying to control what happens in the other household
• Recognizing the good in both yourself and your co-parent as parents
• Cooperating on specific parenting decisions that help your children grow

I use a Collaborative Couples Therapy (CCT) approach, serving as a translator to help each parent understand what the other really means beneath their frustration or anger. Attending to the feelings and values underneath messages can help us find what matters most.

Flexible meeting arrangements reduce conflict. Sometimes I meet with parents separately, sometimes together. When tensions are high, I can have one parent in the office and one online to keep sessions productive rather than explosive.

Children are remarkably resilient, but some intentional co-parenting efforts early in the separation process can make a huge difference in their adjustment. The therapist's office often encourages both parents to show their best selves, which can create breakthrough moments.

Court-ordered doesn't mean ineffective. Many parents find these sessions more helpful than they expected. Let's use this required time to build skills that will benefit your family for years to come.
