Individual Therapy — San Francisco Bay Area & California
CLARITY. RELIEF. GUIDANCE.
A practical, insightful and straightforward approach to finding the answers you need.
So what does a self-sufficient, independently-minded person need with therapy?
You’ve probably wondered this for a while. Maybe you’ve always been curious about therapy—or even wanted to try it—but never felt fully comfortable with the idea. After all, you tend to solve your own problems.
For some, there was that early experience with a therapist your parents made you see—forgettable at best, frustrating at worst—and you swore you’d never go back. Others might wonder: Isn’t therapy for people with bigger issues?
The truth is, therapy can be as sophisticated as the people who seek it. This work is nuanced, intentional, and tailored to those who value depth over platitudes. It’s not about advice—it’s about seeing yourself with precision and creating alignment between what you think, what you feel, and how you live.
“therapy is a gift you give yourself...
…and if you do it right, it’s also like giving a gift to the people around you. ”

my approach
-
clarity.
Clarity begins with understanding. A comprehensive psychological evaluation provides the precision and perspective that therapy alone cannot. It offers a structured, and in-depth view of your strengths and struggles—helping you name what is happening, why it matters, and what to do next.
-
relief.
Relief is obtained through intentional change. These sessions target specific symptoms, reduce stress, and strengthen cognitive and behavioral flexibility. The goal is to bring ease and steadiness to your daily life, relationships, and mental load—so you can move from coping to real change.
-
guidance.
Guidance begins where insight meets curiosity. For clients seeking more than symptom relief, this work explores identity, meaning, and long-standing patterns with depth and discernment. The goal is to bring direction and coherence to life transitions, difficult decisions, and the ongoing work of self-definition.
