My Approach to Therapy
If you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life transitions, it can be hard to see a way forward. These struggles often feel heavy, isolating, or overwhelming.
As a depth therapist, I strive to help you derive meaning from life’s inherent challenges while fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of yourself. I work to illuminate and challenge unconsciously held beliefs and patterns of behavior that are often at the root of suffering.
While pain is an inevitable part of life, additional suffering from self-criticism, rumination, or feeling cut off from yourself does not have to define your experience. Therapy can help you notice these patterns and find ways to meet life’s challenges with more understanding and resilience.
My approach is warm, empathic, and collaborative. I find that mindfulness, self-compassion, and a sense of humor are helpful allies as the work unfolds. I offer a free initial phone consultation to answer your questions and help you get started. Sessions are available in-person at my Union Street office in the Cow Hollow neighborhood of San Francisco, or online throughout California.

My Practice & Services
I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, burnout, or major life transitions. Many clients who come to me appear capable on the outside while struggling internally with stress, loneliness, self-doubt, or feeling stuck.
My approach is relational, psychodynamic, and depth-oriented. I help clients explore unconscious beliefs and patterns that contribute to self-criticism or emotional duress. I integrate mindfulness, self-compassion, creativity, and humor to cultivate insight, resilience, and emotional well-being. Together, we focus on developing practical strategies, deepening self-understanding, and reconnecting with what nurtures and sustains you.
I see clients in-person at my Union Street office in San Francisco and online throughout California. Sessions are 50-minutes, with 75-minute sessions also available for more in-depth support. I am a private pay provider and can provide a superbill for out-of-network insurance reimbursement. I offer a free initial phone consultation to answer any questions or to schedule an appointment for therapy.
