Virtual psychotherapy for California residents, wherever it’s convenient.

Online therapy makes it easy to fit a session into your day- no commute, no waiting room, just a comfortable space wherever you happen to be.

Whether you’re in San Francisco or a smaller city with fewer local providers, online therapy means support is within reach.

Anxiety Therapy

Depression Therapy

Relationship Therapy (Individual)

You don’t have to be in crisis to deserve support.

You might be doing fine on the outside- capable and caring. But maybe you’re tired, too, and feel like your own needs have quietly taken a back seat.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone- and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

My Approach to Virtual Psychotherapy

Psychodynamic

My work is psychodynamic at its core- meaning we pay attention to patterns, early experiences, and the ways the past quietly shows up in the present.

Humanistic

I also draw on humanistic principles - which means I follow your lead. What’s on your mind in any given session is what matters most. And above all, I’m here to listen.

A Blend of the Two: Control Mastery Theory

Developed by Joe Weiss and Hal Sampson in San Francisco, Control Mastery Theory is based on the idea that people come to therapy wanting more for themselves but are often held back by beliefs formed earlier in life. In a safe and caring space, those old beliefs can slowly be recognized for what they are- old ideas that made sense once but may no longer. Over time, they can begin to lose their hold.

FAQs

What to know before you reach out.

  • I offer virtual therapy throughout the entire state of California. Because sessions take place over secure video, I can see clients anywhere in California — from the San Francisco Bay Area to Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento, and every city in between. You just need to be physically located in California during our sessions.

  • I specialize in working with people who tend to put others first in their personal and professional lives and are ready to turn some of that care towards themselves. This often shows up as anxiety, depression, burnout, and people-pleasing patterns.

    I work with individuals one-on-one, not couples.

  • Virtual therapy takes place over a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. The relationship, the work, and the tools are the same as in-person care.

  • Simply reach out using the contact form on this site. We’ll schedule a 15-minute phone or video consultation. It’s a chance for you to share a little about what’s bringing you in and to get a sense of whether we might work well together.
