Therapists in San Francisco, CA

Have you been thinking about therapy but are unsure or afraid?Have you been deterred by stories of therapy with no results?Therapy can be intimidating, that is why I focus on a welcoming, goal oriented approach that builds a collaborative relationship.I believe in RESULTS and achieving them through an individualized plan, that uses specific GOALS and OBJECTIVES. To achieve this I use my certifications/education in several approaches, as well as a vast referral network. I am deeply committed to 1 goal:for you to live YOUR BEST life.In my 20+years I've witnessed the power of therapy to achieve the happiness you deserve. Are you ready?

I graduated from a M.S. mental health counseling program at Eastern Washington University in 1995, got certified and ran a private practice in Seattle from 1995 through 2003. I worked in an outpatient community clinic, an inpatient psychiatric hospital, at retreat centers, and at a college counseling center until starting work on a PhD in Religious Studies and Psychology. I worked, studied, and lived in Europe, East Asia, and Africa before teaching 10 years at San Jose State University, so I am comfortable and confident working with very different sorts of people and I want everyone and anyone to feel welcome and at ease in my care.
