SAN FRANCISCO COUPLES THERAPY AND INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOTHERAPY

Welcome!   Choosing a therapist you can really connect with and trust is an important part of therapy and research shows this is often more important than the therapist’s theoretical background.  The purpose of my site is to give you a sense of me and my approach to psychotherapy and our match to work together.  I have been working with clients for nine years as a trainee, intern and licensed professional and working on myself for over eighteen.  This work is truly my life’s work.  If you don’t feel like we are a match contact me and let me know what kind of person you would like to work with I can support you in finding your therapist.  Finally, I hope  this site gives you tools you can use right now to get some relief or inspire you in some way before we get a chance to meet.
