Therapists in San Francisco, CA

At California Anxiety Relief, I work with adults, couples, and families located anywhere in the state of CA. I offer compassionate and evidence-based psychotherapy to help clients overcome any “stuck” places in life. Therapy focus is on goals such as communication skills, social skills, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, etc. I strive for mindful, efficient and effective therapy. I am trained in research-based models such as TEAM-CBT and EFT for couples/family. I work differently than other traditional practices. I don’t cram an hour of therapy into 50 minutes. Instead, I provide full 60-, 75-, or 90-minute sessions.

In a safe space, we can begin the process of uncovering and healing the pain which may be keeping you paralyzed! It is possible to regain trust and confidence, in order to invite joy back into your life, get you power back and enjoy waking up each day !

We are a team of humanistic therapists and associates. We offer Holistic Psychotherapy, which means that we focus on trusting and following the guidance of the body, mind and soul towards healing.

We will invite you to become more familiar with your body sensations through mindfulness and help you embody a process of healing and completion.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile. Adversity is a part of life and we all experience it and feel isolated. However, I believe it can be an opportunity to grow stronger. I use strength-based supportive approaches that promote growth and healing. My approach focuses on deep care and respect for you. I value your experiences, thoughts and feelings and apply a non-judgmental stance making my sessions a comfortable experience. I focus on providing a collaborative and supportive environment where you can express yourself freely.

Are you feeling stuck, lost, frustrated or helpless? Did no amount of affirmations or self-talk change the mind? We can't access our full Self from just cognitive. The body reflects the mind & stores trauma unconsciously which disrupts the nervous system & natural ability to regulate, causing symptoms like anxiety, depression, etc. Symptoms can seem like “traits" when they aren’t contextualized in survival defenses, ancestral, interpersonal & social layers. So we will co-create a nourishing space to hear somatic stories, identify triggers, patterns & skills to realign with innate wisdom so you can move helplessness to empowerment.
