History

Established in 1982.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California and have been practicing psychotherapy since 1982. I currently own and operate a private counseling and psychotherapy practice in San Jose, California.

I currently work with individual adults and couples who are trying to navigate life’s transitions, who may be suffering from depression, anxiety, stress, past or present trauma, alcoholism or chemical dependency, and who are having difficulties in their personal or professional relationships.

My goal is to create a relationship with my clients based on mutual honesty and respect. I will strive to ensure you feel supported and heard, learn new coping skills, and begin letting go of behaviors that aren’t serving you so you can move forward in life with confidence that you are on the right path for you.

Meet the Business Owner

Sara W.

Business Owner

I have provided therapy to countless individuals, couples, and families during my twenty-​plus years in private practice in Silicon Valley and Santa Cruz and have helped hundreds of people feel better about themselves, their relationships, and their work and family lives.

It is my greatest desire to empower people who come to me to find ways of helping themselves so that they can be successful in the world.

My goal is not to keep you as a patient forever, but to unblock you so you can be free to be fully your most healthy self.

I encourage you to «interview» several prospective therapists to get a sense of who they are and how they can help your specific situation…

Regardless of who you decide to work with, I offer my respect and congratulations to you for taking the first brave step of seeking help. The next courageous step is to schedule the first appointment. I look forward to speaking with you and helping you in any way I can.
