Therapy for adults in San Francisco, CA
Find your purpose.
Being an adult is hard
Life can be terribly confusing. There are a lot of competing voices telling us what we should care about, how we should behave, and what matters. But what happens when we build ourselves a life that doesn’t seem to fit who we really are? When we find ourselves daydreaming about escape when we should be happy, or we’re nursing a secret sense of ourselves that lays dormant and unexpressed.
The price of inauthenticity is steep.
For many, a dream deferred has a cost. Depression, anxiety, addiction, escapism, and chronic anger can all stem from unexpressed longings and potential.
We can help you make a big move.
Psychotherapy can be the staging ground for a transformative shift in your life. First, the weekly session can give you a stable place to give voice to whatever potential is hiding within you. This seed can take root and grow as therapy can help you take small steps towards it and uncover any number of old programs that stop you from moving further on this path. Is it a new job? A new relationship? A career change or a move to another country even?
We’ll help you get to the real you.
Our approach is particularly well-suited to help people uncover, understand, and bring to bear their most authentic selves. We utilize research-backed approaches to develop a treatment that fits your needs so that your authentic sense of self can emerge in the safety of a therapy tailored to you. Would it suit you best for a therapist to be playful, depthful, insightful, or action-oriented? Each person is different, and thus, each therapy needs to be too.

Therapy for burned-out SF Tech workers
It’s hard to be happy if you hate your job.
Suffering because you feel unfulfilled at work is rough. Waking up with dread each morning, feeling paralyzed or overwhelmed throughout the day, and then completely drained at night is a taxing cycle. For better or worse, our jobs consume most of our
waking life, and if you’re miserable there, it’s pretty hard to be happy.
Overwork isn’t any better
The other extreme is also rough – feeling like you can’t shut off, even if there are aspects of your work you enjoy. It takes a toll to obsessively check your email and Slack while laying in bed, feeling a jolt of adrenaline every time you hear a notification, and being unable to enjoy time off or downtime.
Your work, and your relationship with it, can be better.
It is possible to feel fulfilled and balanced with your work. It is possible to feel mostly on top of things, that your work relationships are well-managed and respectful, and that you’re advancing in your career. You can feel a sense of accomplishment and momentum, and while your work is an important part of your life, it also makes room for the rest of living – family, friends, hobbies, and relationships.
We will get you there.
It’s almost certain that you’ve gotten stuck due to old patterns that are no longer serving you. It could be difficulties with communication, anxiety, depression, addiction, self-sabotage or maybe it’s not even clear what the challenge is. Regardless, we specialize in developing a truly unique, custom-tailored treatment to address your specific challenges and help you get where you need to be. Read more about our approach HERE
Therapy can help improve your relationships.
We aren’t meant to be alone.
It’s hard to be surrounded by other people and yet feel so far away from them. Working remotely makes it worse. Weekends can be very painful. There’s no one to call to share your win with nor is there anyone to commiserate with when you take an “L.”
It’s hard to watch people on social media out having fun and connecting. You wonder where your community is, and the relationships you do have don’t feel very deep or fulfilling. It’s hard to know how to get out of the superficial and into the “real” stuff.
Find your people.
That hole you feel inside is real – we need deep connections with others to feel like ourselves and to bring out our best selves. Luckily, it is absolutely possible for you to learn to connect more easily with others, to deepen and enrich the relationships you have, to become a trusted confidant for people in your life, and to learn to be vulnerable with the right people who have your back.
Learn to connect deeply.
Decades and decades of psychological research indicate what we’ve always known – relationships are the most important part of our lives; it’s literally life and death stuff. Relationships and relationship problems are unique to each person.
Our approach is based on the foundation of understanding your specific needs in relationships. At its heart, psychotherapy is a relationship lab – a place to try new ways of connecting, like being assertive, asking questions, or sharing vulnerability. In fact, this might be one of the things that psychotherapy is best at.
