Welcome!

If you live in the Noe Valley and feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you truly are or what you want or need, you’re not alone. Many people I work with from the Noe Valley in San Francisco share that they’ve tried everything to feel better—ending relationships, changing jobs, or chasing quick fixes—only to feel more confused or disconnected. If that sounds familiar, there’s nothing wrong with you. It simply means something deeper is asking for attention.

Therapy can offer a space where you don't have to figure things out on your own. I understand how difficult it can be to open up, especially if vulnerability hasn't always felt safe. Together, we can slow things down, make sense of the patterns that may be holding you back, and create space for clarity, confidence, and meaningful change. 

I specialize in LGBTQ+ affirming therapy, therapy for men, therapy for young adults, relationship counseling, and psychodynamic therapy. My work focuses on exploring what lies beneath the surface - your emotional history, unmet needs, and protective patterns - so long-standing struggles can begin to shift. 

As self-trust and self-understanding grow, the pressure to be perfect or meet others' expectations often softens. Over time, you may find yourself feeling more grounded, more confident, and more connected in your relationships and your sense of self.

If you're a Noe Valley resident ready to begin this work, I invite you to reach out. I offer a free 50-minute initial consultation, available on Zoom or in person at my office on 14th Street, near the Castro and Duboce Triangle.
