Welcome! At San Jose Child Therapy, I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and teenagers, offering an innovative approach to therapy, integrating transpersonal psychotherapy with multiple other modalities.

During childhood, adolescence, and the teenage years, it's is common for children to experience occasional problems as they grow and mature. They experience conflicts at home over such issues as toilet training, bedtime and homework. Children encounter problems with parents and peers as they attempt to establish a personal identity and practice relating to others.

As a child is faced with new situations, demands and expectations, it is common for the child to experience emotional ups and downs characterized by feelings of sadness, fear and anger. These reactions tend to be short-lived, however, and usually do not significantly interfere with the child's life. However, occasionally a child's response to life's pressures may become severe, and the parents' attempts to help their child may be unsuccessful. At times such as these, professional assistance may be warranted. That's where San Jose Child Therapist can help.

Childhood and adolescence are full of pivotal passages, each with their own stressors and issues. Fully appreciating these stages is necessary in order to understand the behaviors and symptoms that fall beyond what our culture considers "acceptable." Talking with a therapist can help determine what is typical behavior and when a parent should be concerned.

San Jose Child Therapy - The Power Behind the Therapy

As the founder of San Jose Child Therapy, I bring the most effective evidenced-based approaches to child therapy. Towards that effort, I authored Healing & Wholeness Complementary and Alternative Therapies for Mental Health. I have a Masters in Psychology, a Doctorate in Naturopathy, and numerous other accreditations.

I have a long history of working with children, adolescents, and teenagers with a wide variety of challenges, drawing on a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic, and Family Systems therapies, and using a range of art and play techniques. I have extensive experience helping with simple developmental issues as well as more comples problems like attention disorders, autistic spectrum disorders, addiction, and eating disorders - working closely with the family as well. Children of all ages are encouraged to identify, explore, and resolve behavioral and emotional struggles.
