Welcome. I'm so glad you're here.
There may be many reasons why you're reading this now. Whatever you may be going through, you don't have to figure it out on your own. I offer online and in person therapy for couples and individuals in Cow Hollow, San Francisco.
I invite you to browse this page to learn more about how I may be able to support you.
I'd be honored to set up a complimentary consultation call to see if we'd be a good fit.
A little about me and the work I do:
I'm a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#108365) with over a decade of experience supporting clients. I'm trained in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT), Gottman Method Couple Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
I specialize in working with couples and individuals who want to build strong, healthy relationships: with themselves, their partners, their family and their community.
I have a particular passion for working with clients who wish to integrate their spiritual and religious beliefs into their healing journey.
Services
Couple therapy
Every relationship encounters its share of challenges, and sometimes, those challenges can lead to cycles of conflict, disconnection, hurt, and loneliness. If this resonates with you, I’m here to help.
In couples therapy, I provide a safe, supportive, and non-blaming environment for you and your partner to work through difficulties, reconnect, and reignite the love that initially brought you together.
I primarily use Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (ECFT) in my work with couples. ECFT is an incredibly effective and rigorously tested evidence-based therapy for restoring love and connection.
Individual Therapy
Life throws its share of curveballs at you and can turn out very differently than you hoped or dreamed. It can be overwhelming to figure out how you got here, and where to go next.
Individual therapy is a warm, gentle space where you can explore how you got to where you are and help you grow into the person you want to be. The lingering impact of painful experiences can trap you in anxiety, depression, and unhealthy patterns, but you can heal.
I utilize EMDR and ACT to help you get unstuck and to harness your innate capacity for growth and healing.
FAQs:
1 / What is the session fee?
My fees range from $160-$215 for a 50-minute individual session and from $180-$250 for a 50-minute couple session. I base the fee on an income-based sliding scale. Longer sessions may be available at a pro-rated rate.
2 / Do you take insurance?
I am contracted with Lyra. I am an out-of-network provider for other insurance plans. If you have a PPO insurance plan you may be able to receive partial reimbursement for our work together.
3 /How do I know if we'd be a good fit?
The best way to see if we'd be a good fit is to request a consultation call by filling out my contact form. Even if we're not a good match, I will try to connect you with another therapist.
4 /What if I have other questions?
Please reach out via my contact form to schedule a complimentary consultation call. I'm happy to answer additional questions!
