Relationship is a path of personal growth and development. The focus of my work is on helping people mature and build satisfying and authentic partnerships. My style is personal, direct and at times confrontational, in a way that many couples find refreshing. I use my position as a witness of your relationship to help each of you take responsibility for your needs, desires, and impact, and get what you really want from your relationship. My work is largely informed by the developmental model of couples therapy, and I place a strong emphasis on differentiation, as this helps individuals claim their needs and preferences directly. Many people grew up with dysfunctional relationship models. It can be helpful in this case for the therapy work to include some formal education about how to resolve conflict, self- regulate, and co-regulate. 

I frequently work with couples who have a lot of active conflict, and/ or are at a major inflection point in their relationship and trying to make some big decisions. Our work together often includes defining terms, establishing agreements, and creating “relationship contracts” so that you leave your therapy with a more loving, and more functional relationship.

Step 1

Schedule a 20-30 minute phone call. This gives us a chance to discuss what is going on, what you're looking for, and find a great fit. Either schedule an appointment in our online calendar, fill out our form or call us at (415) 494-7074. 

Step 2

Speak to our trained, master’s level therapists who offer a 30-minutes confidential consultation. 

During your phone consultation ask questions, get direct feedback about how we work and assess whether our therapists are the right fit for you. 

Step 3

Receive personalized matches from a therapist who takes your goals and finds you a qualified therapist. No surveys and no algorithms. Trained staff find and review each match.

Step 4

Choose the therapist you like best to fit your needs, availability, and goals. Then start scheduling your weekly online teletherapy sessions within the same day.
