Therapists in San Francisco, CA

Psychotherapy can be an opportunity to reduce emotional suffering, to understand what gets in the way of becoming the person we want to be, and to find a meaningful path forward. In my work with adult clients, I often am engaged around significant relationship challenges, health and wellness concerns, career misgivings, and blocks in expressing oneself. My approach with children and teenagers emphasizes developmental strengths, family supports, and planning for the future. I provide clinical consultation to other mental health professionals for many of these same topics.

At times, we find ourselves stuck and feeling frozen. We get overwhelmed with emotions and burn out from the demands of everyday life. In our work together, we can filter out external pressures, voices, and expectations to learn to tune into your inner wisdom. By fostering a deeper understanding of yourself, we can identify what’s causing pain and work towards feeling better. Together, we will work on finding acceptance, clarity, and a goal toward peace.

I offer services for adults struggling with difficult family dynamics, mental health distress, and emotional burdens. The emotional experiences you encounter can be shaped by your upbringing and family history. My role as your therapist is to help you uncover important parts of yourself, gain more emotional flexibility, and facilitate change to your current circumstances. I specialize in working with adults dealing with depression, grief, loneliness, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, anger management, and history of trauma and abuse. I connect with my patients in a warm and steady manner, establishing trust for our work together.

When faced with a crisis, transition, or other stressful life situation we all intuitively seek comfort, support, and guidance. While we can often receive this from friends and family it often isn't sufficient to resolve the issue or prevent it from reoccurring. Real and lasting changes are possible but they require trying new approaches to old problems.

Safety is the essence of therapy. My interactive approach focuses on the unique requirements each person needs to feel safe to recover their authentic sense of self which had to be set aside in order to not feel alone. It offers relief from unreasonable beliefs about hurting others. This also allows me to calibrate when treatment is progressing and how to keep it on track. Those who feel stuck in unsatisfying relationships or careers, have difficult family relationships, procrastinate, are indecisive, doubt their talents, think they are an imposter and who protect others at their own expense will find this therapy helpful.

I am a family therapist and my approach to psychotherapy has been shaped by over thirty years of work with addictions.

As we work to bring our own unique voice into our lives, we frequently struggle against our childhood conditioning and the culture within which we find ourselves.
