self-esteem Therapy in Los gatos
Replace self-criticism with self-compassion, embrace your worth, and create healthier relationships with yourself and others.
Therapy for Low Self-Esteem
Negative self-talk, body image struggles, or the feeling of “not being good enough” can weigh heavily on both children and adults. These painful patterns often come from past experiences—such as bullying, criticism, or hurtful words—that leave lasting wounds. In therapy, I provide a safe and supportive space to explore these experiences with care and compassion.
Together, we’ll work on catching negative thought patterns as they arise, understanding where they come from, and gently challenging them. Over time, you’ll learn to replace self-criticism with self-compassion, heal from past wounds, and build a stronger sense of confidence and self-worth.
Anxiety and Trauma Therapist
With years of experience working in multiple mental health settings—and my own journey through anxiety and trauma—I bring both expertise and personal understanding. This allows me to meet clients with deep empathy and create a compassionate space where clients feel supported.
I believe therapy should be tailored to each person’s unique needs. My work integrates evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Trauma- Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to support deeper healing and growth. With children and teens, I often incorporate play and art interventions to create a safe and engaging way to express emotions and build skills. By blending these approaches, I aim to provide compassionate, effective care that helps clients of all ages move toward resilience, self-understanding, and lasting change.
