I am both a psychiatrist and a therapist, and in my clinical practice (in CA, NY, and FL), the majority of my work involves providing therapy. My training spans several therapeutic approaches, including play therapy, narrative therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and couples therapy.

Medication can be a helpful part of treatment for some individuals, and I offer medication management only as an integrated component of ongoing therapy, not as a stand-alone service. This ensures that any medication decisions occur within the context of a meaningful, continuous, therapeutic relationship.

As a San Francisco psychiatrist and therapist, I work with adults, teens, children, and couples facing a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns. These include:

• Depression

• Anxiety and panic

• Relationship and communication difficulties

• Work-related stress or burnout

• Professional and personal transitions

• Grief and loss

• Couples’ challenges

• Family stress

• Identity and self-esteem issues

More broadly, my therapeutic work focuses on helping people make sense of their thoughts, emotions, and relationship patterns so they can navigate life with greater self-understanding and resilience.

I understand that some individuals receive therapy elsewhere and may be seeking medication support. In my practice, I offer medication management only to patients I see regularly in therapy. This approach helps ensure that treatment is safe, coordinated, and grounded in a full understanding of your emotional landscape.

If you are working with another therapist and are looking exclusively for medication services, I’m happy to provide referrals to clinicians who offer medication-only treatment.

I see patients in person at my office near the West Portal neighborhood in San Francisco, California. I also provide secure, virtual therapy and psychiatry sessions for patients located anywhere in:

• California

• Florida

• New York

Virtual sessions take place over phone or video and offer flexibility for individuals with demanding schedules, travel constraints, or a preference for remote care.

I do not accept insurance, Medicare, or Medi-Cal, and I am not part of any managed care provider panels. However, many of my patients choose to submit invoices to their insurance companies for out-of-network reimbursement. I provide documentation to assist with this process, and I'm happy to answer questions about how these claims typically work.

Please contact me directly to discuss my fees, availability, and the structure of sessions. I’m happy to answer any questions and help determine whether my practice is the right fit for your needs.

A strong therapeutic relationship is essential for meaningful progress. If after meeting we determine that I’m not the best match for your needs, I will gladly provide referrals to other qualified clinicians. My priority is ensuring that you receive the support that feels right for you.

Yes. Although my office is located in San Francisco, I regularly work with patients across the Bay Area, including Oakland, Berkeley, the Peninsula, and Marin. Many choose virtual sessions for convenience, while others prefer in-person appointments at my San Francisco office.

To begin, you can reach out through my contact form or by phone. I usually start with a brief introductory call to determine whether my approach might be a good fit and to answer any questions about therapy or virtual sessions.

I see adults, adolescents, children, and couples, and I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, work stress, identity concerns, and life transitions. I also work with many Bay Area professionals and creatives navigating high-pressure environments.

I accept a limited number of new patients throughout the year. Please contact me to ask about current availability or to schedule a brief phone consultation.

Yes. I offer couples therapy in person at my San Francisco office and virtually throughout California, New York, and Florida. Sessions focus on communication, connection, and navigating relationship challenges with openness and curiosity.
