When something keeps repeating in your life—and you’re drawn to understand what’s underneath
For those who have often felt on the outside looking in, or who experience the world a little differently—and who tend to carry a lot for others— a space to slow down, listen inward, and begin to sense what’s beneath the surface.
I offer individual and couples therapy for adults in California seeking support with relationship challenges, recurring patterns, and emotional overwhelm. My work integrates relational, somatic (body-aware), and expressive therapy approaches, and is especially supportive for creatives, helping professionals, and those navigating cross-cultural or complex identity experiences. Sessions are available online throughout California and in-person in Berkeley and Petaluma.
THERAPY FOR RECURRING PATTERNS, RELATIONSHIP CHALLENGES, AND FEELING STUCK
You might be noticing:
Certain patterns keep showing up in your relationships
You understand things on one level, but something doesn’t quite shift
You find yourself holding a lot—for others, or within yourself
Parts of your experience feel hard to access, name, or share
You sense there’s more beneath the surface, but aren’t sure how to reach it
Something in you is already paying attention
HOW I WORK: RELATIONAL, SOMATIC, AND EXPRESSIVE THERAPY
Individual and couples therapy with me is a space to slow down and listen more closely—to what’s happening within you, in your relationships, and in your body.
Together, we can:
Gently explore the patterns that continue to repeat
Notice how your experiences live not just in your thoughts, but in your body
Make space for parts of you that may have been overlooked or carried quietly
Stay with what emerges, rather than rushing past it
Allow new ways of experiencing and relating to take shape over time
My approach integrates relational therapy, somatic (body-aware) therapy, and expressive arts—supporting change that is not just understood, but felt.

Couples Therapy in Berkeley and Petaluma with Tuyet-Lyn
Relationships are living ecosystems—tender, complex, composting, and always evolving. When something in that ecosystem breaks down, it can ripple through every part of your life.
I offer couples therapy for partners who want to slow down, listen deeply, and tend to the vitality of their relationship. Sessions are available in-person in Berkeley and Petaluma, and online throughout California.
A Space to Slow Down and Listen
I support partners in navigating conflict, healing old wounds, and reconnecting to the love you both envision.
Our work is grounded, heartfelt, and attentive to who each of you is—and who you are together.
My Approach to Couples Therapy
Couples therapy with me is a space to understand the deeper patterns shaping your connection and to find ways of relating that feel more intentional, alive, and sustainable.
Together, we explore:
The body’s signals and nervous system responses
Early relational imprints and unconscious patterns
The moment-to-moment dynamics between you
The ways your histories and identities meet and interact
The practices that nurture connection, repair, and vitality
My approach is warm, steady, and grounded. I hold space for the full range of human experience—tenderness, conflict, confusion, longing, grief, desire, and hope.
What We Can Work On Together
Couples often come to therapy for support with:
Communication that feels honest, kind, and connective
Repairing after conflict, rupture, or betrayal
Finding each other again in moments of distance or disconnection
Navigating life transitions (parenthood, loss, relocation, identity shifts)
Rekindling intimacy and desire
Understanding interpersonal and intergenerational patterns
Working with nervous system responses in moments of stress
Creating practices and rituals that support your relationship over time
Couples Therapy for Patterns, Connection, and Repair
Whether you are feeling stuck in repeating cycles, navigating a difficult transition, or wanting to deepen an already meaningful relationship, couples therapy offers a space to pause and reorient.
Together, we begin to notice what is happening beneath the surface—so that new ways of relating can emerge.
A Gentle Invitation
If something in you is curious about working together, I invite you to connect with me. A conversation can help us sense into whether this feels like the right fit — a place where you can land, explore, and be supported in the ways you need.
