Psychotherapist

Hi there, I'm Jane! Are you feeling overwhelmed, fearful, or “stuck” due to stress or trauma? Trauma and chronic stress can trigger symptoms like feeling overwhelmed, scared, irritable, spacey, or moody. Together, we can make sense of your past and present to help you feel more motivated, focused, and calmer. I help clients develop tools to manage symptoms, process difficult experiences, identify ongoing impacts, and create healthier ways of moving through life. I assist clients experiencing chronic stress to re-balance their lives, set healthier boundaries, and prioritize self-care. I have been amazed over the 20+ years I’ve worked in this field by clients’ ability to face and overcome fears they thought they never could. If you feel your past is catching up with you or daily life feels overwhelming, I’d love to meet and discuss how we can work together. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from San José State University, providing a strong foundation to support clients effectively. My approach I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, and Narrative modalities. I also use Cognitive Processing Therapy (related to CBT but focused on trauma) for clients with intrusive trauma symptoms. I offer guidance and psychoeducation on healthy communication and interpersonal boundaries. My focus I welcome all clients ready to feel and function better and do some work! I prioritize an emotionally safe, supportive space to confront challenges. I have extensive experience with clients who have childhood (including developmental) trauma. My communication style My style is professional yet authentic and direct. I ask questions to help clients develop insights and evaluate how the tools and strategies we discuss are working for them.
