Feeling Anxious, Overwhelmed, or Stuck?

Life’s challenges — work stress, relationship struggles, anxiety, grief, and major transitions — can feel exhausting. Some days, simply getting through the day can feel like a lot. You do not have to navigate it alone.

I offer individual therapy and couples counseling in San Francisco, as well as virtual therapy for clients in California, New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. My approach is warm, engaging, practical, and deeply personalized. Therapy is never one-size-fits-all. Together, we’ll work to understand what’s holding you back, strengthen your coping tools, and create meaningful, lasting change.

And yes — I believe humor can be healing, too.

If for any reason I’m not the right fit, I’ll do my best to help you find someone who is.

Relationship challenges
Support for couples and individuals dealing with conflict, disconnection, communication struggles, and intimacy concerns.

Anxiety, stress, and burnout
Practical tools and compassionate support to help you feel more grounded, clear, and resilient.

Whether you come on your own or with your partner, couples therapy offers a space to better understand the patterns shaping your relationship. Together, we’ll uncover the roots of conflict, disconnection, or misunderstanding and begin creating a more honest, connected, and supportive bond.

In our work, you can expect to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, deepen closeness, and shift the habits that no longer serve your relationship. With insight, warmth, and practical tools, we’ll help you move toward lasting change.

Ready to strengthen your relationship?

If you’re tired of feeling misunderstood, reactive, distant, or stuck in the same painful cycle, couples counseling can help. I offer couples therapy and premarital counseling in San Francisco, as well as virtual therapy for clients in California, New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.

Together, we may explore questions like:

  • Do you and your partner feel heard, respected, and emotionally safe during conflict?

  • Are you able to share your truth while staying open to your partner’s experience?

  • Have trust, closeness, intimacy, or friendship begun to erode?

  • Are stress, resentment, defensiveness, or shutdown getting in the way of connection?

  • Do old wounds or attachment patterns keep resurfacing in your relationship?

Many couples struggle with patterns such as:

  • blaming, criticizing, or controlling

  • withdrawing, shutting down, or avoiding

  • resentment, gridlock, or repeated arguments

  • confusion, disconnection, or loss of intimacy

If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Couples therapy can help you break these cycles, communicate more effectively, and build a more secure, loving relationship.

Take the first step today and schedule your first session.
