Therapists in San Francisco, CA

My commitment to providing quality mental health services to individuals, couples, and families has greatly influenced my approach to therapy. I utilize an integrative influenced by Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), Dialectical Behavioral Theory (DBT), Attachment Theory, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Theory (TF-CBT). These areas of research help us to understand how stress and trauma impact our brains and lives in ways that may go unnoticed.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation, I'll meet you FREE online for our First Interview!

Parents often ask me, "My child gets upset so quickly, I can't seem to teach them how to work through their feelings...can you help?" "My child's social skills are delayed, what are some ways I can help them connect with others, and have relationships that matter to them?" and "Something isn't clicking, my child is having so many meltdowns but nothing we try helps them!" The common thread in these scenarios is that the parents are invested in helping enhance their child's life, working together to learn new skills. When you want to help your loved one while honoring their quirks, neurodiversity, and personality, I am here to help!
