Individual Therapy
Depth psychotherapy in San Francisco, Berkeley, and online
Some people come to therapy because something has fallen apart. Others come because nothing has, and still something feels off: a pattern that keeps repeating, a part of life that’s gone flat, a sense that there’s more to them than they’re living. Either way, you’re welcome here.
Therapy with me is active and engaged. I won’t sit back and nod. I’ll be curious with you, tell you what I notice, and sometimes share how you’re landing with me in the moment, because that kind of honest, real-time contact is often where the deepest work happens.
Is this a fit?
Individual therapy may be a good fit if you’re:
Feeling stuck in your life and ready to start making a change
Living with anxiety, depression, or a persistent low hum of dissatisfaction
Carrying trauma, grief, or old wounds that still shape how you live and love
Moving through a major transition: a breakup, a career change, a move, becoming a parent
Drawn to questions of meaning, purpose, creativity, or spirituality
How we'll work
We start with what's here: what you're feeling, what's happening in your body, and what's happening between us right now. Paying close attention to the present moment is often the most direct route to the roots of a pattern.
Along the way, we'll get to know the parts of you involved. The part that pushes you hard, the part that shuts down, the part that keeps hoping. Each has its own job and its own logic. Rather than fighting them, we get curious about what they're protecting, and help them work together instead of against each other.
Underneath it all, I trust that you carry an inner healing intelligence that understands what's needed. It tends to show up in the space between us. My job is to help you hear it, and to follow it with you.

Frequently asked questions
How often will we meet?
Most clients meet weekly. Consistency matters in depth work, especially at the beginning. If weekly isn't possible for you, we can talk about what is.
Do I need to know what I want to work on?
No. Many people arrive with only a sense that something needs to change. Finding the thread is part of the work.
Can individual therapy include KAP or ecotherapy?
For some clients, yes. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy can deepen our ongoing work, and ecotherapy can bring some of it outdoors. We can talk together about whether either might be a good fit.
