Brief Intro

Thank you for considering entrusting me with your care. I recognize that taking the step to see a therapist, or even contact one, might seem intimidating. I also realize that choosing a therapist is an important decision that is influenced by many factors. I approach each person, whether adult, child, teen, or member of a couple, compassionately and comprehensively. I spend time with individuals, couples, and families discussing their lives. I try to understand people's experiences and thereby determine the best treatment plan for and with them. When offering recommendations, I talk about why and how I reached those recommendations. Together, we decide what the next steps should be. As a therapist, my goals are to make strong, caring connections in therapy and to understand people as best as I possibly can. I have a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to patient care. I strive to create a safe, therapeutic relationship with every person I see. I am honored to have been included in the 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 San Francisco Magazine "Top Doctors" lists for my work with patients. I feel just as honored to have hosted GQ’s “The Breakdown” to discuss mental health in media. Please note: I have a psychotherapy practice and see patients once or more than once per week in therapy and do not offer medication evaluations or medication management on its own. If you are not looking for psychotherapy, I would likely not be a good fit for your needs. If you are looking for therapy, please feel free to look through my website, and please don't hesitate to contact me if you should have any questions or if you think I might be a good fit for your needs. We can find a time to speak by phone before scheduling an appointment. Also, please note that I am not affiliated with any insurance companies and do not take insurance, Medicare, or Medi-Cal/Medicaid
