Therapists in San Francisco, CA

I help people unwind and unravel the ways in which they get stuck in life. Through looking at how the past is affecting the present and what is actually going on in the present as seen through relationships, we can work as a team to further digest experiences, get to the root of painful patterns, free up choices and help develop a richer internal life.

Feeling out of control or out of Focus? Do ADHD related issues hold you or a loved one back from dreams and potential? Feelings of worry, confusion, anger, and sadness can make your relationships, parenting, work, or your education seem impossible or like plain torture. My passion is helping people tap into their their inherent worth and significance, while promoting growth. You CAN tackle the problems you have, and you have the power to promote well-being in yourself and in your relationships. Lets get to work, and see the results in your life: improvements in mood/ relationships/work and educational performance, and peace of mind.

East meets West. It is a phrase we hear often but how does it translate into practice? The pull lies in the strength of the familiar; the push is an urge to create space and jump into the unfamiliar. As an individual who was raised between two cultures, I offer a warm and safe space to discuss cultural competency as it relates to your life. Retaining your cultural values and traditions while simultaneously assimilating to the societal norms of your geographic upbringing can lead to many questions about ourselves in the past, present and future. I believe strongly in your ability to grow if nurtured in an encouraging environment.

If you are here, you may have experienced something painful, scary, frustrating, confusing or sad. Maybe you feel a general sense of dissatisfaction, or you are seeking to change your behavior or the quality of your relationships. Regardless of why you are here, I am glad you’re seeking a partner to help you process your emotions, and make sense of your experiences. In therapy, I will help you build awareness of your thoughts and feelings so that you can understand your needs and express yourself authentically. You deserve to have meaningful and fulfilling relationships and live a life aligned with your true nature.

You work really hard and take care of a lot of people. But sometimes giving so much of yourself depletes and exhausts you. You’re ready to clarify and prioritize your own needs.

I've worked with a wide range of individuals and couples over my 30+ years of practice. The center of my work is to provide a safe and supportive environment for you to sort out what concerns you, to discover what influences(past and present) may keep you stuck and repeating dissatisfying patterns or relationships, and to move beyond them to feel more in charge of your life. I offer a warm and interactive style, supportive of you and what you want to achieve. As I strongly believe that my clients should be able to afford therapy, I offer reduced fees to make this available.

Welcome therapists and psychiatrists! Engaging in psychotherapeutic work is emotionally exhausting and mentally taxing. Because of the intense and confidential nature of the work you do, it can also be extremely isolating and lonely. Being your best self requires continued attention to your psychological, spiritual, and physical well-being. Having a confidential space to process through the demands and challenges associated with being a helping professional is vital to optimize the good work you are doing with your clients.

I’m a child psychotherapist that works with new parents, children, and adolescents. You might be here because you have questions about your child’s behavior, wish for a more satisfying parent-child relationship, or are overwhelmed from the stresses of parenthood.

Becoming a parent is one of the most profound transitions in the adult life cycle, and it naturally brings up shifts in our external and internal lives. It’s my honor to support individuals, couples, families, and children through this period and beyond.
