Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
My approach is non-pathologizing, strength-based and solution-focused. I work in a very humanistic, systemic way and often use cognitive-behavioral methods. I keep my client informed as we go…empowering them to “own†what we discover so they can transform the aspects of themselves and their

Erin Gienger
Marriage and Family Therapist, Pre-licensed AMFT
Humans are relational beings. When a person's relationships feel less than or too much, it impacts many areas of one's life. I strive to illuminate concerns that clients, as individuals, couples, or families, are experiencing and aid clients in navigating their complex relationships. I make myself available to give clients the ability to process their lives in a new way. If you believe I could be a good fit for you as your therapist, please get in touch with me.

Laura Fleming
Pre-Licensed Professional, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
I love working with couples because our partners often reflect the parts of ourselves we struggle to see (or don't want to see!) on our own. Relationships bring up deep emotions, tender wounds, and protective patterns which makes this work both challenging and incredibly meaningful. In couples therapy, I help partners slow down, understand what’s happening beneath conflict, and create new, authentic ways to show love and support each other.

I only see couples in my practice so you are getting a true relationship expert. Relationships are the core of our lives, yet even strong partnerships can hit breaking points. I help couples move beyond repeating arguments, resentment, or emotional distance to reconnect with one another. Whether you’re navigating cultural differences, parenting stress, intimacy struggles, or simply feeling like roommates, therapy offers a space to rebuild trust and closeness. My goal is to help you strengthen your bond, communicate more effectively, and create a resilient partnership that can withstand life’s challenges.

Misty Johnson
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW
All relationships meet challenges. Conflict is a normal and healthy experience in relationships. It's how we navigate conflict and recover from conflict that keeps relationships together through thick and thin. With support, a powerful bond can survive and endure all challenges that arise.

Janice Shapiro
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Marriage counseling is another specialty of mine. I take great pleasure in teaching couples how to become Loving Communicators. Loving Communicators is a set of skills taught and practiced so you can 'have and to hold' the most loving, harmonious union a marriage was meant to be.
I integrate three modes of marriage counseling: Solo, Traditional and Guided. Solo, to address individual needs, Traditional, both partners present, and Guided, with my book, Loving Communicators.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Relationships are difficult. It takes many very unnatural behaviors to create a high-quality relationship. Improving your reactions to your partner is the most important aspect and, since it is the only thing you can control anyway, this is your work. Whether it's in a couple’s session or you do the work individually, you will need to improve yourself and your reactivity and become a better you. Too many couples enter my office and expect me to change their partner because they want relief from their negative interactions. I will always gently steer things back to what you can do to make things better. My style is solution oriented, where I will give you all the tools I can in order to reduce conflict and increase connection, making a better relationship.

Santa Clara is at the heart of Silicon Valley, home to the global headquarters of major technology companies and a dense ecosystem of tech employers whose high-performance culture creates the well-documented mental health challenges of the sector—burnout, imposter syndrome, and the chronic stress of working at the frontier of global competition. The city is exceptionally diverse, with large South Asian and East Asian communities representing a significant proportion of the workforce, and the cultural dimensions of mental health stigma and help-seeking within these communities shape how therapy is accessed. Santa Clara University's Jesuit tradition contributes a values-oriented approach to student well-being, and the university's counseling center serves its student population. Common therapy concerns include tech industry burnout, anxiety, bicultural identity and acculturation stress, relationship difficulties, and the financial pressure of one of the most expensive housing markets in the country.
