Therapists in San Francisco, CA

I welcome you to the crossroads. This is a place where you can learn to live your life to its full potential. Although I have a diverse practice, I specialize in working with roughly 25-to-35 year-old individuals and couples, helping them find ways to foster safety, strength and inner peace when facing depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and relationship challenges. Whether you are looking for relief from painful confusion, sadness, or worry, or are just looking for more meaningful life experiences and relationships, I welcome you on this journey towards personal growth.

You too can claim a compassionate yesterday, craft a clear today, and create a confident tomorrow.

Stepping into therapy with someone is an inherently risky process. You are courageously opening up to someone that you don't really know, in hopes of changing, of finding something new, of building a relationship that can create positive change. I respect those who take the leap and I get the importance that you find the right therapist so that you can be understood at a deep level and begin looking more closely at the places in your life that you would like to see change.

I am a clinical psychologist and a certified clinical hypnotherapist. I offer professional, compassionate therapy for those wishing to address life challenges such as depression, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns, life transitions and adjustment issues.

I work collaboratively with clients to understand these obstacles within the context of their history and current life situation and then develop strategies to remove or transform them.

I bring to my private practice 36 years of experience and training in couple dynamics, attachment, sexuality and family systems. When couples first contact me, they have often been struggling with strained, stuck and reactive relationship patterns for a long time. They have hurt one another by attempting various ineffective solutions such as fighting-to-win, resentful compliance, disengagement, dulled sexual desire, infidelities, freezing in hopelessness. These are all an attempt to manage the anxiety and discomfort often inherent in long-term relationship challenges. Naturally, there is discouragement and worry.
