San Francisco Psychotherapy for Anxiety & Addiction
I am a licensed psychotherapist dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate complex emotional challenges. My practice focuses on anxiety, addiction, psychological trauma, and relationship dynamics, with a therapeutic approach centered on self-reflection and boundary exploration. I work collaboratively with clients to uncover the origins of self-defeating patterns, fostering self-acceptance as a foundation for meaningful change.My style is active and exploratory, emphasizing clients' agency in identifying and modifying outdated fears and behaviors. With a deep understanding of how family histories shape present-day relationships, I guide individuals in developing personalized frameworks for healthier connections. I offer both in-person sessions at my Church Street office and virtual consultations to accommodate diverse client needs.
