San Francisco, CA
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
From the outside, things may appear fine; you may be achieving success in various aspects of your life. However, deep down, you might sense something is missing. Feelings of anxiety, depression, or emptiness can lead to a persistent sense of not belonging. You may find yourself trapped in frustrating patterns, leaving you dissatisfied with your current situation. In therapy with me, you will have a safe space to express your emotions freely. Together, we will explore your experiences in relation to your personal history and everyday life, helping you to manage difficult feelings and equip you with the tools to address your needs. This process will catalyze long-lasting, meaningful change. Since we are inherently social beings, our struggles are often better understood through the lens of our relationships, culture, and the society we inhabit. I utilize a sociocultural perspective in my practice, grounded in social theory and deep psychodynamic therapy. I am here to listen to your concerns and frustrations with an engaging and creative approach. As we collaborate in therapy, we will strive towards achieving your personal goals. I have witnessed how open expression can enhance authenticity and creativity, empowering individuals to discover their voice and truth, leading to a more meaningful and purposeful existence. The journey of recovery is one of restoration and integration, ultimately renewing your sense of agency and empowerment.
