Building trust, connection and communication between gifted
children and their families…
In my practice I offer therapy for adults, teens and
children, family therapy and parent consultation on children’s behavioral and emotional
problems. The special focus areas of my
practice are two-fold: working with children and parents who are gifted or
talented (GATE) and the unique needs of families facing serious illness. Please see additional information on these
areas of my practice below…
Please call (408) 887-7133 to schedule a complimentary 20
minute initial phone consultation to discuss your specific situation. Initial sessions are scheduled in my office
in San Jose,
located at 1101 South Winchester
Blvd (between Williams & Payne Avenues). My suite is located in Building O, Suite 284. Follow up
visits may be scheduled at my office or in the comfort of your own home, a
particularly helpful choice for many children or for those with special
mobility needs. Home visits are available
in most of San Jose and Santa
Clara, and in Saratoga and Los Gatos.
