About me

Therapy with me is a collaborative process of exploration in which trust and empowerment are prioritized.  Rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all framework, we will collaborate to tailor therapy to your needs. The pace, intensity, and depth of our work are all within your control. I strive to interpret what I see from a place of cultural humility and respect, and I encourage feedback when I fail in this regard. My clients are diverse in terms of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender expression, age, relationship structure, and disability.

Together, we will explore your inner world and I will offer new ways of looking at your experience. Over time, we will start to uncover patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior. My style is warm, nonjudgemental, and attuned.

My practice is based in San Francisco and I currently offer both in-person and virtual psychotherapy to individual adults, children, and couples residing in California.

My approach

  • Individual Therapy

    For individual adults and adolescents, the shape that therapy takes will depend on your goals and preferences. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, I use your feedback to tailor therapy to your unique experience. Together, we will explore your inner world with a mindset of nonjudgemental curiosity. Examples of what I offer include talk-based exploration of thoughts, behaviors, and relationships; visualizations to bring you into connection with your body and its wisdom; and investigation of how cultural and systemic forces impact your life.

  • Couples Therapy

    I believe the most fulfilling relationships are those in which we can feel simultaneously safe, secure, alive, and free. Many couples struggle in one area or another, some struggling with repeated conflicts that feel unresolvable and others struggling to speak to the ways that the relationship doesn’t meet their needs. Together, we will examine what’s not working, developing your capacity to effectively negotiate conflict and create a win-win. We’ll also expand upon what’s already working to build more satisfaction and security in your relationship.

Good Faith Estimate Notice

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
