IN PERSON IN SANTA CLARA, CA
INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOTHERAPY
THERAPY DOESN’T REQUIRE YOU TO HAVE ALL THE RIGHT WORDS OR A CLEAR PLAN. It begins with noticing what’s present and allowing space for it to be understood.
Therapy with me is relational. The work happens between us — in the room, in the relationship, over time. I work with people who are trying to understand themselves more fully: how they move through relationships, where old patterns show up, and what it might look like to respond differently. I hold a somatic and nervous system-informed lens, which means I pay attention to more than what's being said. How something lands in the body, what happens when a conversation touches something tender — these are data, not distractions.
the people I tend to work well with are navigating things like
Communication and relational dynamics — including patterns that feel stuck, cycles that repeat across different relationships, or difficulty knowing how to ask for what they need
Attachment and early relational experiences — particularly when those experiences were complex, inconsistent, or hard to name
High-functioning presentations and masking — people who appear to be managing well on the outside, but carry a significant internal weight that others often don't see
Cultural and systemic context — I don't approach identity as a footnote. Race, culture, family systems, and social context shape how we experience ourselves and others, and I treat them as central to the work
This work is real work. Insight is often the beginning, not the destination — and moving from awareness into actual change can be slower, harder, and more disorienting than people expect. Sometimes that means sessions feel productive and clarifying. Sometimes it means sitting with something uncomfortable for longer than feels comfortable. And sometimes it means taking a break. None of that is failure — it's often just what the process looks like.
For some, psychotherapy is the primary focus of our work together. For others, it runs alongside neurofeedback or biofeedback — either as part of an integrated treatment plan or as a complement to work being done elsewhere. Both are welcome here.
