Depth Psychotherapy for Adults and Couples in San Francisco

A story comes to mind: someone boards a plane with a heavy carry-on bag. Instead of placing it in the bin, they hold it tightly on their lap. When told to stow it overhead, they reply, “I don’t want to weigh down the plane.” Of course, the plane is already carrying them — and their bag — but still they clutch it, afraid of what might happen if they let go. Maybe, like many of my clients, you live this way. Outwardly you are strong, capable, even the one others rely on. Inwardly, you may feel anxious, depressed, or weighed down by pain and responsibility. Perhaps you’ve tried to manage it yourself with books, podcasts, chatbots, or skills, but nothing really sticks. Or maybe you’ve been in therapy before, but it didn’t go deep enough, or it never quite felt like you could truly lean on someone else. You may look fine from the outside, but on the inside, it often feels like too much.


I offer Depth Psychotherapy: a place to slow down, bring what feels unmanageable into the open, and explore the deeper patterns shaping your life. Our work is not about quick fixes, but about relief in the present and lasting change over time — so you don’t have to keep carrying it all alone.

Clients describe me as steady, engaged, unflappable, and wryly imaginative. My role is to sit with what feels overwhelming while helping you find creative ways to approach it. If you’re tired of holding it all together, I invite you to reach out.
