I’m a licensed therapist trained in somatic psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. I work with individuals, couples, and men, supporting clients with anxiety (including social anxiety), depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. I also help people navigating loneliness, work-related stress, and cultural or identity-related experiences, including multiracial relationships. My goal is to help people better understand themselves, their patterns, and how they relate to others. I tend to be warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, while also being direct when it’s helpful.
For the past 20 years, I've worked across private practices, youth development centers, schools, and mental health clinics. My passion is to work with adults navigating major life transitions. Whether you are a college student or approaching retirement, my hope is to walk alongside you during this time of change and uncertainty; to help create the conditions for you to reconnect with your authentic self and remember what lights you up. We can explore ways to recognize and acknowledge your anxiety that moves beyond words. Incorporating expressive arts, guided imagery, and embodied exercises to help you strengthen your awareness with your emotions and rewrite old narratives.

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in San Francisco
Finding family therapists in San Francisco starts with the type of support your family is looking for. Family therapy may help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication patterns, and major life changes. A marriage and family therapist in San Francisco is trained to work with the relational system, not only one person. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as family systems therapy, trauma-informed care, or experience with couples and family counseling.
In a large market like San Francisco and the wider Bay Area, having many options can make it harder to narrow your search. Location may matter if you prefer in-person sessions near your home, work, school, or transit route. Virtual appointments can make scheduling easier when multiple family members need to attend from different places. Family therapy sessions may include the full family, caregivers and children, partners, or individual family members, so review therapist bios to understand their structure, communication style, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in San Francisco can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, confirm your benefits, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. You can compare profiles, choose between in-person and virtual care, and book directly when you find a therapist who fits your family’s needs.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
