Therapists in San Francisco, CA

In today’s fast paced world, we are faced with many stressors, obstacles and challenges. Sometimes we need to slow down and take stock of what we have and changes we may want to make. My practice is geared towards helping adults and couples achieve the life that they want rather than struggling just to get by. Therapy can be both challenging and an exciting experience. Together, we can work on eliminating your anxiety, depression, relationships problems and general discontent.

If you are experiencing anxiety, relationship or work stress, or struggling to find understanding and acceptance with a loss or life transition, you do not have to keep going it alone. Difficult experiences can bring up painful and uncomfortable thoughts and feelings that can leave us overwhelmed or blocked.

In my practice, I strive to create relationships with my clients that foster their growth and help them achieve their full potential. I value empathy and unconditional positive regard toward my clients. Understanding is called for when someone is hurting, confused, anxious, alienated, or doubtful of their self-worth. The gentle, empathic approach provides insight and healing. I respect the courage and vulnerability to come to therapy and try to take good care of my client's trust in me.

As a therapist, I work to create a safe, supportive space in which you feel secure in exploring the parts of your life that may feel overwhelming.

I aim to understand clients’ internal responses and to provide more options for emotional regulation and problem-solving.
