Life is full of challenges. Some break us down to tears. I believe therapy is a safe place for us to sit down and examine your life. In therapy, we work on sorting out feelings, reflecting on self and what happened, and eventually overcome the obstacles. I am happy to be the person to sit down with you and listen to whatever issues you are facing. Therapy may not be easy, but when you are ready to tackle these challenges, I will be there to support you.
I have over 15 years of experience working with clients in San Francisco and San Mateo County dealing with relationship issues, Autistic spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety, mood disorders, and more.
I believe that there is always hope in any situation. With hope, we all may achieve our maximum potential if we can take away the roadblocks in our lives. Therapy is a controlled environment to gradually break down our obstacles into manageable chunks so that we can process and conquer them.
