Somatic & Integrative Psychotherapy

I’m grateful you’ve landed here
I help women of color, immigrants, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and high-achieving adults release trauma, anxiety, and perfectionism, and feel more present, grounded, and at ease in their bodies.
Using Brainspotting, a gentle, body-based therapy, we access what your nervous system has been holding and allow insight, release, and lasting change to emerge. I also integrate parts-work, mindfulness, and relational attunement to support your healing in a holistic, psycho-spiritual way.
“Healing unfolds in the body, in the space between knowing and not knowing”
(Inspired by Brainspotting’s uncertainty principle)
You don’t have to carry this on your own
When you’re ready, we can take the next step together
Meet Your Therapist
Hi, I’m Yoko
You don’t have to carry everything alone.
I offer somatic, trauma-informed therapy integrating Brainspotting, parts-work, mindfulness, and relational care—supporting both mind and nervous system.
Stress and trauma often show up as body sensations before they become words. In our work, we slow the pace, release accumulated tension, and reconnect you with steadiness, presence, and inner clarity.
My practice centers women of color and cross-cultural identities, though anyone who has felt unseen, overwhelmed, or disconnected is welcome. There’s no need to perform or have it all figured out here—you’re invited to arrive as you are, and we move at the pace your system is ready for.
As Linda Thai says, “Your body is the keeper of your lived experience — and also the doorway to your liberation”
This reflects the heart of my work.
My intention is to cultivate a grounded, trauma-informed space that supports nervous system regulation and integration, allowing change to unfold in ways that bring more clarity, ease, and belonging.
Let’s Explore This Together
“Your nervous system is actually responding in an appropriate way to the environment for the majority of the time. There's nothing wrong with you. ”
