My Approach to Helping

I offer therapy and counseling for individuals and couples in San Francisco, and I hope to help you overcome the personal challenges that are keeping you from your full potential. These issues may include relationship difficulties, depression or anxiety, professional concerns, substance abuse issues, and the general challenges that we all experience with major and minor life transitions. I have had great success in helping my clients, mainly by fostering a supportive yet challenging therapeutic environment. I am compassionate yet solution-focused, helping you achieve symptom relief in the shortest amount of time possible, while also giving you the space to develop insight into the dynamics of your relationship with self and others.

I work primarily from a cognitive-behavioral (CBT) orientation, a model that helps you uncover the faulty thought patterns that are contributing to your symptoms and life difficulties and which research continues to show is extremely effective in producing change.
