About

Solid. Incisive. Disarming.

Welcome! I'm Jane, a somatic psychotherapist based in the Bay Area. I help people who struggle with chaos, social inhibitions, and being overwhelmed. During our work together, we will explore and cultivate 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 assist those who felt stuck or unsatisfied with past therapy. People come to me seeking someone who is not only highly trained and experienced, but also empathetic, kind and honest - someone who has done their own work and can join them in theirs. I offer a space where you can feel safe, understood and free to show up as your true self. I love helping people get to know themselves in a new way. Research indicates that the therapist-client relationship is crucial for healing. Schedule a free consultation to see if we're a good fit.

Influenced by: Attachment Theory, neuroscience, Eastern and Indigenous philosophy, Decolonization and Liberation practice
