You want less fighting and more connection. You’re tired of feeling anxious, stuck, or alone in your relationship. For 25+ years, I’ve helped individuals and couples in San Francisco untangle conflict, heal old wounds, and rediscover joy, intimacy, and trust. My approach blends evidence-based couples therapy (EFT, Gottman, PACT) with mindfulness, expressive arts, and humor. Together we’ll reduce anxiety, improve communication, and strengthen resilience so you can feel more connected — to yourself and to those you love.
I help couples and individuals ease anxiety, resolve conflict, and feel close again. For 25+ years I’ve guided clients in San Francisco and beyond to break old patterns, communicate more openly, and rediscover joy, intimacy, and resilience. Therapy with me is practical, creative, and deeply compassionate.
Reaching out for therapy takes courage, and you don’t have to have it all figured out before you begin. If you’re longing for more ease, connection, or clarity, I’d love to help. Together we’ll create a space where you feel supported, understood, and ready to move toward the life and relationships you want.
