Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

A seasoned, competent, and caring psychotherapist skilled working with a wide range of disorders.

About Me

As a seasoned and caring psychotherapist, I offer a supportive space. Here, individuals and families can explore diverse life challenges. I help clients navigate complex feelings and develop practical strategies for daily life. Together, we address a wide range of issues. Our focus is building resilience and finding clarity. You will find a calm, competent presence, dedicated to your well-being.

Approach

Steady, attentive collaboration guides how therapy unfolds here. I offer both in-person sessions in San Francisco and secure online meetings in English, keeping the environment calm, focused, and respectful of your pace. Sessions typically combine focused assessment, gentle mindfulness practice, practical experiments to try between meetings, and regular check-ins so progress feels measurable and manageable. People seeking clearer patterns, steadier days, and stronger connections often find this way of working reassuring and effective.
