San Jose, CA
You've done the work. Now it's time to actually heal.
San Jose, CA is filled with people who are successful on the outside but quietly struggling on the inside. If that sounds like you, I want you to know that you're not broken, and you don't have to keep pushing through on your own. I offer specialized therapy services designed to help you heal in ways that traditional talk therapy often can't reach.
San Jose, CA attracts driven, capable people who expect real results. You've probably already tried different approaches to manage your anxiety, relationship challenges, or the lingering effects of a difficult past. What I offer is different. Through EMDR therapy and Brainspotting, I help clients get to the root of what's holding them back so they can finally experience lasting relief.
You Deserve More Than Just Coping
Living in San Jose and Silicon Vallley comes with its own unique pressures. The demanding careers, the fast pace, the expectation to always be performing at your best. It can leave you feeling exhausted and disconnected, even when everything looks fine from the outside.
Maybe you've noticed old patterns showing up in your relationships. Maybe anxiety has become a constant background noise in your life. Or perhaps you carry the weight of a difficult childhood, and no matter how much you've accomplished, something still feels unresolved.
If any of this resonates, please know that you're not alone. And there's a way forward that doesn't require years of therapy just to feel a little bit better.
A Different Kind of Healing
So many of my clients come to me after spending years, sometimes decades, in traditional talk therapy. They've gained insights and learned coping strategies, but they're still struggling with the same core issues. They understand why they feel the way they do, but that understanding hasn't brought them peace.
This is where Brainspotting and EMDR therapy can make such a meaningful difference. These approaches work with your brain and body's natural healing abilities to release trauma and distress at their source. Rather than just managing symptoms, we address what's actually causing them.
The shifts can feel almost surprising. Triggers that once overwhelmed you begin to lose their grip. The need for constant coping strategies fades because the underlying pain simply isn't there anymore. Many clients are amazed by how much progress they make, sometimes in just a few sessions.
How I Can Help
I provide both online therapy sessions and in-person sessions for clients in San Jose. Whether you prefer the convenience of meeting from home or the connection of being in the same room, I'm here to support you in whatever way works best.
EMDR Therapy: A powerful, research-backed approach that helps your brain process traumatic memories and difficult experiences. Many clients experience significant relief in far less time than traditional therapy requires.
Brainspotting: A gentle yet effective technique that accesses where trauma and emotional activation are stored in the brain. This approach is especially helpful if you feel like you've hit a wall with other methods.
Intensive Therapy: For those who want to accelerate their healing, intensive sessions allow you to make meaningful progress in a focused timeframe rather than stretching work out over months or years.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, phobias, codependency, narcissistic abuse recovery, burnout, and stress. My practice is designed for high-functioning individuals, people who are holding it together but know that something deeper needs attention.
What It's Like to Work With Me
When you reach out, we'll start with a free consultation so we can get to know each other and see if we're a good fit. This is a relaxed conversation where you can ask questions and share what's bringing you to therapy.
If we decide to move forward, your first session will focus on understanding your story and creating a personalized plan together. I take the time to learn about your unique situation because I know that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't serve anyone well. I typically don't begin EMDR or Brainspotting in our first session because building trust and feeling prepared matters.
One thing my clients appreciate: I don't assign homework. Your healing happens in our sessions together, and when you leave, your time is yours.

Online and In-Person Flexibility
I offer both online and in-person sessions to meet you where you are. Online therapy is a wonderful option if you have a busy schedule or prefer the comfort of your own space. In-person sessions are available if you find that face-to-face connection feels more supportive for you.
Both formats are equally effective for the work we'll do together. We can discuss which option feels right for you.
Taking the First Step
Reaching out to a new therapist can feel vulnerable, especially if therapy hasn't worked for you in the past. I understand, and I want you to know that there's no pressure. The free consultation is simply a chance to connect and explore whether this might be the right path for you.
If you're tired of just getting by and ready to actually heal, I'm here. Please reach out to schedule your free consultation and learn more about availability and pricing.
