Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find the right therapist in San Francisco?

Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision. The right therapist should offer a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Look for a licensed professional who specializes in your needs, whether that’s marriage counseling, trauma recovery, depression, or anxiety support.

It’s also important to find someone whose therapeutic approach resonates with you. My practice in Noe Valley serves clients across San Francisco, using attachment-focused therapy and EMDR to help individuals and couples heal. If you’re unsure whether we’re a good fit, I offer a free consultation to help you decide.

How does therapy help us grow and heal?

Therapy is like the life cycle of a nautilus—a creature that continuously outgrows its chamber and builds a larger one, using its past as support. Just as the nautilus expands its home in a spiral, therapy helps us grow beyond old emotional structures while still being supported by our past experiences.

Our earliest relationships shape how we see ourselves and connect with others. When those early patterns cause pain, therapy offers a way to reshape and rebuild. I believe that even in our deepest struggles, we are constantly moving toward healing, growth, and spaciousness within ourselves. When we engage in therapy, it’s not just about fixing wounds—it’s about building something new and stepping into a more expansive version of ourselves.

Do you accept insurance?

I do not accept insurance at this time. However, I can provide a superbill—an itemized receipt you can submit to your insurance provider for possible out-of-network reimbursement. I recommend checking with your insurance company to see if your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits.
