Online Therapy in San Francisco & the Bay Area

Therapy for men, high achievers, and adults navigating the pressures of Bay Area life.

Therapy for Life in San Francisco and the Bay Area

Living in the Bay Area brings innovation, creativity, and opportunity, but it can also come with high pressure, emotional burnout, and a sense of disconnection. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating identity challenges, or looking for support, therapy provides the space to pause, reflect, and reconnect.

I provide online therapy for people across San Francisco and the greater Bay Area who are ready for grounded, real conversations, not just clinical forms or surface-level advice.

A Personalized Approach to Therapy

No two clients are alike. That's why I take time to understand who you are, where you're coming from, and how past experiences might be influencing your present.

I'm trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a powerful method for processing trauma, old narratives, and stuck emotional patterns. I also draw from:

Depth-oriented and existential therapy
Somatic and narrative-based practices
CBT and relational techniques

Focused Support for Men and High Achievers

A large part of my practice centers on supporting men and high achievers, especially those navigating emotional challenges, shifting identities, or the pressures of modern roles.

I frequently work with:

New dads navigating fatherhood and shifting priorities
Men dealing with anger, intimacy, or vulnerability
High performers facing burnout or blurred identity boundaries
People who seem to "have it all": success, a family, financial stability, but still feel a sense of emptiness or like something essential is missing

Therapy can help clarify not just what you're feeling, but how to move forward in a way that feels authentic.

Flexible Therapy From Anywhere in the Bay Area

Whether you're based in the Mission, Oakland, Berkeley, or working remotely in Marin, I offer secure, online therapy sessions designed to meet you wherever you are. With the flexibility, privacy, and consistency that Bay Area life demands.

Frequently Asked Questions

My primary office is in Hermosa Beach (Los Angeles area). For Bay Area clients, I offer secure online therapy sessions. Many clients find telehealth more convenient and equally effective.
Common themes include tech industry burnout, startup pressure, imposter syndrome, relationship strain from demanding careers, identity questions, substance use, and the feeling of being successful but unfulfilled.
