Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

Are you having difficulty with a relationship? I specialize in helping people with relationship issues, including romantic, family and work-related. My primary goal is to help people connect more deeply with themselves, believing that this is the basis for good relationship. I am passionate about helping people have compassion for their unique history, describe their needs and wants, and increase their ability to identify and release difficult emotions.

I also treat depression and anxiety, issues related to grief and loss, sexual identity and spiritual crisis. Because I honor that one modality cannot serve everyone, my approach includes elements of traditional psychotherapy and is highly inclusive of mindfulness practices, psychosomatic experiences and spiritual explorations.

My practice includes traditional weekly or bi-monthly psychotherapy. Sessions can range from talk therapy to hands-on work, and are tailored to fit the needs of each person. I work with both individuals and couples (hetero- and homosexual, monogamous and polyamorous) in a private practice setting in the Inner Richmond in San Francisco.

I have a sliding scale of $100- $125 and offer a free 20-minute phone consultation; I am happy to talk with you to discover if we might be a good fit. I also invite you to visit my website for additional information.
