First Responders Therapists in San Francisco, CA
I know it can feel overwhelming choosing a therapist. You're struggling to be understood already....you don't know who to trust or even what the difference might be from one to another. I've been where you are, thumbing through thumbnail after thumbnail of therapist photos....where do you start? Who do you trust? I decided when I got into this business to focus on the relationship, not the strategy. Every client has different needs and each deserves a therapist who understands them and their unique situation.

Life can be challenging, but you are not alone. You already made the first step, and I am here to guide you through the rest. One way is to separate myself from the societal restrictions, starting with my availability. The average person works M-F 8-5; but all of the resources one needs are also only available during those hours. Not everyone has the freedom to work around such restrictions. I decided I would not make it more difficult to get help. I offer early mornings, later evenings and some weekends too. Together, we can align ourselves and schedules around those traditional restrictions.

You are successful by every external measure - and exhausted by an internal one no one else can see.
The decisions you carry don't come with simple answers. They involve your business, your relationships, your sense of who you are and who you're becoming. You've tried thinking your way through. You've tried pushing harder. The weight hasn't lifted.
I work with founders, executives, and high-responsibility professionals in California and Oregon who need more than traditional talk therapy. My clients are people who think deeply, carry heavily, and sense that the clarity they need requires going somewhere most therapy doesn't go.
