Somatic Therapists in San Jose, CA
Simple talk therapy often isn't enough for many. Difficulty trusting others, self criticism, reactivity, perfectionism, trouble maintaining relationships or friendships, having overwhelming emotions or anxiety, or low energy/ motivation, is when therapy that involves developing coping skills to regulate, identify sources of patterns from the past and finding a path forward, may help you break free from these issues.
I also have extensive experience working with late diagnosed adults with autism and/or ADHD. For these clients, I also incorporate identifying needs, providing self accommodations, tools, and psycho-education.

I offer somatic, mindfulness‑based therapy with parts / states work (Hakomi and ISITTA certified).
Overwhelmed, stuck, or in pain? Maybe it’s anxiety, low mood, burnout, grief that won’t lift, panic, or sleep that won’t cooperate. Thoughts race or go blank. You feel lonely around people, or crowded by them. Old trauma resurfaces; you react faster than you want; boundaries blur. Work and relationships start to suffer. If you want relief that lasts - steadier emotions, fewer spirals, clearer communication, better sleep and energy, or clearer path through major life changes - let’s talk. A brief introductory call can map a simple starting plan and see if we’re a fit so new patterns can take hold. Individuals, couples, and families.

You are a quirky, creative spirit seeking out your place in this world. You love the path you’re on. But sometimes you feel alone, alienated, or overwhelmed by the world around you. Sometimes a feeling of emptiness, meaninglessness, fear, or uncertainty, keeps you up at night. You ask yourself, “why am I here? And what should my life be about?” You wonder about how to put your unique gifts to their best use. And how you might come to feel less alone as you learn to do so. Sometimes you still worry that you might just be too weird to find the kind of community, loving relationships, inner peace or success you are seeking.

I support individuals navigating trauma symptoms and C-PTSD, big feelings, neurodivergence, and those who desire to build safety within the body. I am passionate about supporting BIPOC and AAPI individuals and therapists. I am not a quick fix therapist, as I have experienced true healing to take gentleness, safety, and integration. I believe that transformation occurs through attunement and acceptance of the present moment, rather than forceful attempts to be different. I hold a warm and compassionate space as we build stronger connections with your body and parts of yourself, and all that arises.

I believe safety to be a human right - not a privilege. This is what sits at the very core of who I am. This is what I bring to the work that I do. A certain intensity; a certain empathy; a certain knowing.

Welcome. I'm glad you're here.
I offer therapy and comprehensive ADHD and autism evaluations across the lifespan. As a neurodivergent person myself, I understand how exhausting it can be to mask, to feel misunderstood, and to move through a world that wasn't built with your brain in mind.
Maybe your child is struggling with regulation or connection. Maybe you're navigating anxiety or patterns rooted in old survival strategies. Maybe there are questions around identity, relationships, or neurodivergence itself that feel ready to explore.
Whatever brings you here — this is a space where you don't have to translate yourself to be seen.

You used to be able to talk. Now there are topics you've silently agreed to avoid — because every time you try, it ends the same way. The distance has grown so quietly you almost didn't notice. And now, in the same house, in the same bed, you feel alone. The problem is rarely what couples think it is. Beneath the argument is something your partner has been trying to tell you — that neither of you has been able to hear. Because we all carry filters — shaped by our families, our cultures, our histories — that quietly distort what we receive.

Pornography use is silently dismantling your relationship and leaving your partner feeling inadequate and second-guessing her own worth. You've tried to quit on your own more times than you can count, yet here you are again. What looked like harmless screen time for work quietly grew into social media, then adult content, cam sites, or OnlyFans. For high-functioning men accustomed to handling every other challenge alone, this is the one battle willpower and discipline won't win. I'm more than a mental health professional. I've lived this, walked out of it, and built the path out for others.

You understand your patterns. You’re just tired of feeling stuck.
Perhaps you've spent years reflecting, analyzing, reading, journaling, or trying to make sense of your experiences. You know where the anxiety comes from. You understand your patterns. Yet despite that insight, you still find yourself feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or caught in the same cycles.
As your nervous system becomes less focused on survival and more capable of feeling safe, many clients notice greater emotional flexibility, self-trust, and relief from patterns that once felt impossible to change.
