Whether you are navigating individual trauma or a partnership that feels stuck, you are looking for a way to feel connected again. My clients are high achieving adults who carry the weight of expectations and hidden loneliness. Many are women of color or children of immigrants, though what they share is feeling exhausted behind a put-together exterior. If you are in a couple, you probably feel trapped in a cycle of painful arguments that leave you both feeling alone. I work with people who want to understand why past wounds keep showing up in their current relationships.
I help you understand why you react the way you do and rewire it. Through IFS parts work, EMDR-Flash, attachment focused therapy, and somatic and mindfulness tools, we address the nervous system roots of anxiety, complex trauma, PTSD, and relationship patterns. You will develop regulation skills, shift old beliefs, and learn to respond rather than react.
It is natural to feel hesitant about reaching out, especially when you are used to managing everything on your own. I provide a steady presence where you can talk openly while we move at a pace that feels right for you. If you would like to see if we are a good fit, I invite you to schedule a brief consultation at my Santa Clara office or online.

I primarily use Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy in my practice. In our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and determine the best approach for your needs. With IFS, we'll examine different 'parts' of yourself to achieve internal harmony. I also integrate mindfulness techniques and elements of other therapies like MBCT and Attachment-based therapy.
