Let's Connect (415) 326-1949

I create an experience tailored to your individualized needs and goals. Instead of sticking to a template, we’ll identify how to ensure you feel most comfortable expressing yourself. Therapy can deepen your awareness—which could mean welcoming back parts that you feel disconnected from, discovering new thoughts or ideas, or working with feelings that don’t seem to fit easily in your day-to-day life. As a result, you’ll start to better understand the unique factors that influence your relationships and behaviors: your strengths, values, intuition, and emotions. With new perspectives, you can prepare to live with greater authenticity.

I offer support that is consistent, genuine, collaborative, and direct. My approach integrates the empathetic and existential roots of humanistic therapy, relational work grounded in attachment, present-focused mindfulness tools, and somatic awareness of sensations and feelings within the body. Let's discuss how these approaches support your unique needs.

People benefit most when they feel connected to their therapist. I’m open to sharing about myself. When working together, we'll regularly discuss the dynamic between us to ensure therapy is addressing your goals. I encourage you to call for a free 15-minute consultation or learn more about me at my website.
