Everything is waiting for you.
Somatic psychotherapy available in-person and online
An invitation.
You've come this far—why not keep going? Be bold and curious. Therapy is a journey that can take you many places, but it always brings you back to yourself. If you've lost touch with how it feels to be at home in yourself or want to discover that feeling, explore how I can help you.
Connect today if you experience:
insomnia
anxiety that shows up as tension and inability to relax
fatigue from always being “on” and masking how you really feel
depression that leaves you feeling empty and detached
disconnection from your body
chronic and complex medical issues
nightmares, flashbacks and dissociation
loss of meaning and direction
alienation
dullness and lack of vitality
Solid. Incisive. Disarming.

SF Bay Area native. Child of immigrants. Mother. Lover of music, books and gardens. Wry observer of the human condition. Friendly and fearless guide of the world within.
Welcome! I'm Jane, a somatic psychotherapist based in the San Francisco Bay Area who specializes in treating trauma and people who deal with chronic illness, chaos, numbness and emotional dysregulation—people who are struggling to feel alive. During our work together, we will explore, cultivate and deepen your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you. Many of my clients are successful BIPOC women who feel something is missing despite their efforts. I also help those who felt stuck or unsatisfied with past therapy.
If you are living on the edge and going to collapse or explode if one more thing happens, and you are looking for a warm, direct and interactive approach, connect today to see if we're a good fit.
