As a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist serving San Jose and surrounding areas for over 25 years, I continue to enjoy helping individuals, couples, children and teens to grow as individuals, strengthen their relationships, and move forward in life. I have also served as the Clinical Director of the Teen and Family Counseling Center in Campbell, where I gained invaluable experience understanding teens, their stressors today, as well as the pressures on Bay Area families.
