Therapy that fits a California life
California moves fast. Whether you're in a demanding Bay Area tech role, building something in Los Angeles, or juggling a life far from where you grew up, it's easy to keep functioning while quietly running on empty. I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (License #117325) who works with Californians on trauma, anxiety, OCD, and relationships — with a focus on progress, not just talking things through.
Do You Recognize Yourself?
- Your career looks successful from the outside, but you feel anxious, stretched thin, or strangely empty
- You moved to California for work or a fresh start and feel disconnected from family and support
- Old trauma keeps surfacing no matter how much you've accomplished
- You and your partner keep having the same fight and can't seem to break the loop
- Intrusive thoughts, rumination, or the need to know for sure are eating your time and peace
- You've tried therapy before and felt like you talked a lot but didn't actually change anything
How I Can Help
I specialize in trauma therapy and EMDR, couples work, and specialized OCD treatment using Inference-Based CBT. My approach is warm but direct. A lot of therapists are insight-oriented — happy to help you understand your patterns without ever helping you change them. I care about progress. We'll set clear goals and actually move toward them.
California clients come to me for a range of reasons: processing childhood or relationship trauma, untangling the anxiety hiding underneath high performance, rebuilding a struggling relationship, or finally getting real traction on OCD. Whatever brought you here, the goal is the same — to help you feel like yourself again as efficiently as possible.
Where I See Clients in California
My in-person office is at 381 Bush St, San Francisco, CA 94104 — in the heart of the Financial District, easy to reach from downtown, the East Bay, and the Peninsula. I also see clients in person in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara.
Everywhere else in the state, I work with clients online: the greater Bay Area (Oakland, San Jose, Palo Alto), Sacramento, San Diego, the Central Coast, the Central Valley, and beyond. Online EMDR and talk therapy are just as effective as meeting in person for most people, and they save you the California commute.
What to Expect
We'll start with a free 15-minute consultation to talk about what's bringing you in and whether we're a good fit. From there, your first full session is a thorough assessment, and we'll build a plan tailored to your goals.
Sessions are 50 minutes and $240, available in person in San Francisco or securely online anywhere in California.
Frequently Asked Questions
My office is at 381 Bush St in downtown San Francisco, convenient to the Financial District, Union Square, and the East Bay via BART. I also see clients in person in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. Wherever you are in California, online sessions are available so you don’t have to factor in a commute.
Yes. I’m licensed in California and see clients online throughout the state — from the Bay Area and Sacramento to San Diego, the Central Valley, and the North Coast. Online therapy, including EMDR, is just as effective as in-person work for most people, and it means you can meet from home, your office, or anywhere private.
A lot of them. Between the Bay Area’s tech world and LA’s creative and entertainment industries, many of my California clients are high achievers who look fine on paper but feel stretched thin, anxious, or stuck. I work directly on the patterns underneath that — not just insight, but real change.
I’m an out-of-network provider, so I don’t bill insurance directly. I can provide a superbill you may submit to your California PPO plan for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Sessions are $240; we can talk through the details on a free consultation.
