LGBTQ, Poly, and Kink Aware and Affirming Psychotherapy for Individual and Couples

I am a licensed psychotherapist offering individual and couples psychotherapy in my San Francisco private practice, situated in SoMa (South of Market). My specialties include couples therapy; I also help individual clients with life transitions, personal growth, substance and behavioral addictions, depression, anxiety, panic attacks and chronic relationship problems. I specialize in working with: Couples to shift painful communication patterns and deepen their emotional connection. Professionals to increase self-confidence, relate effectively at work and advance their career. Clients to move beyond loneliness, social anxiety and feelings of inadequacy. Men to get out of their heads and connect more deeply with those who matter most to them. Survivors of trauma and childhood emotional wounding to resolve the lingering harmful effects of these experiences. Clients with substance use issues and other compulsive behaviors to develop a relationship to those behaviors that works for them.
