Individual Therapy — San Francisco Bay Area & California

CLARITY. RELIEF. GUIDANCE.

A practical, insight-driven approach to understanding the patterns shaping your life.

For thoughtful, high-functioning adults who feel stuck in ways that don’t fully make sense. You may find yourself overthinking decisions, second-guessing your reactions, or noticing the same patterns repeat despite your efforts.

something isn’t adding up.

You’re thoughtful, capable, and generally functioning well—but something isn’t adding up.
You may find yourself reacting in ways you didn’t intend, second-guessing decisions after the fact, or noticing the same patterns show up across relationships, work, or daily life.

You’ve likely already tried to figure it out on your own. The difficulty is that insight alone doesn’t always lead to change.

change is possible— but not in the way you think.

 

A decision can be made quickly—without second-guessing yourself afterward.

You can respond in the moment in a way that actually reflects what you intend.

Not every disagreement leads to conflict, distance, or regret.

Saying “no” doesn’t have to come with guilt that lingers for hours—or days.

Patterns that once felt automatic can start to feel more deliberate and within your control.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not the only one.

Most of the people I work with have already spent time reflecting, adjusting, and trying to improve things on their own. Even so, certain patterns tend to persist—especially under stress or in relationships.

Taking a closer look at how these patterns operate—and what maintains them—often creates the conditions for meaningful change.

This approach is most effective for clients who are open to examining their own patterns, not just external circumstances.

my approach

  • clarity.

    Structured psychological evaluation designed to provide clear answers—so you can make informed decisions about treatment, medication, or next steps.

  • relief.

    Focused, goal-oriented work that addresses the patterns driving stress, avoidance, and reactivity—so change is actually sustainable, not temporary.

  • guidance.

    Ongoing work focused on identity, direction, and the internal conflicts that keep you stuck—especially when insight alone hasn’t been enough to create change.

Steps to get you started

  • Poke Around My Website.

    See if we are a good fit, decide if you think you want to move forward. Feel free to check out my “About” page for more information on me and my practice, or skip straight to the ”Services” page to see whether your needs and my services align.

  • Consider Logistics.

    I provide telehealth only. Fees and financial logistics can be found on the FAQs page and you can do the math and consider whether this is a financial investment you can make. Sessions are conducted on a weekly basis at a set day/time each week.

  • Reach Out and Hang tight.

    Go to the Contact page and enter your name and email. You can introduce yourself now, or wait until we set up a free 15-20 minute consultation. If you want to do that, just request it there. Email is the best way to reach me- I’m not a phone gal.

  • Schedule Initial Consult.

    Once I receive your request, give me 24-48 hours, and I’ll get back to you with an option for a free 15-20 minute consultation. During the consultation, if it feels like a fit, we can schedule an initial appointment then. If there’s a waitlist, I’ll let you know.

  • Orient yourself with the portal.

    Once we agree on a start date, I’ll send over a recurring Zoom link, as well as an email from Simple Practice (client portal) with a link prompting you to create a login, review and sign the necessary documents, and fill out the necessary information to enroll in services.

  • Show up… (do the thing)...

    Set a reminder if necessary, and update your Zoom. Show up…and I’ll take it from there! Attendance and commitment are a necessary part of treatment efficacy and progress, so make sure to clear your work calendar during your session each week!
