Welcome!
Unlock a Life of Fulfillment and Purpose
Feeling lost or overwhelmed? Struggling with your identity, unsure of what you truly want or need? Many people I work with here in San Francisco—from the Castro and Duboce Triangle to the Mission, Noe Valley, and Lower Pacific Heights—describe doing everything they can to feel better: ending relationships, switching jobs, distracting themselves, trying every “quick fix,” only to end up more confused, discouraged, regretful, or stuck.
Quick fixes rarely work.
If you find yourself moving from job to job or relationship to relationship without real satisfaction, or if your connections fall short of what you long for, you’re not alone. This is a common experience, especially for people navigating the pressures, transitions, and emotional demands of life in the Bay Area.
I’m here to help you slow down, make sense of these patterns, and begin the deeper work that leads to lasting change.
You Are Not Alone
Navigating life’s challenges can feel deeply isolating, and it can be hard to believe that anyone else feels the way you do. Many of my clients come to therapy carrying the belief that their struggles are their fault or that something must be “wrong” with them. Opening up—especially around vulnerability or shame—can feel frightening.
But you don’t have to carry this alone.
In psychodynamic, we explore what’s beneath the surface—your emotional world, early experiences, relationships, needs, the ways you’ve learned to protect yourself, and the parts of you that have gone unseen or unheard. Together, we can break the cycles keeping you stuck and begin building the change you’ve been wanting.
Transform Your Life
In our sessions, we look closely at your personality, history, and the emotional patterns shaping your life today. We explore the deeper reasons behind feeling isolated, misunderstood, or unappreciated. Many people discover that their struggles are rooted not in personal failure, but in old, unconscious patterns that can be understood—and shifted—with insight and compassion.
Being vulnerable doesn’t make you weak; it makes you human.
As therapy unfolds, you begin to recognize your own worth, understand your emotional needs, and build a more authentic relationship with yourself. This clarity creates space for more fulfilling relationships and a deeper sense of meaning.
You’re Good Enough
As your self-esteem, self-awareness, and self-validation grow, the pressure to be perfect or to conform to others’ expectations begins to loosen. Shame loses its grip. You start experiencing yourself as capable, worthy, and whole—someone who deserves connection, love, and a life that feels aligned. Embrace your true self with acceptance and pride.
You are more than enough, exactly as you are.
