Getting started The best way to reach me is by phone. I encourage you to call and leave a I want your relationship with me to feel straightforward from the very first contact.

Leave a message if I don't pick up — I return all calls personally, usually within one business day. We'll have a brief initial conversation to hear what's bringing you in and answer any questions. If it feels like a good fit, we'll schedule a first appointment.

Phone, text, and email I'm reachable at 415-761-3433. I restrict texts for scheduling and brief logistical questions, not therapeutic issues.  For anything of clinical substance, please call so we can give it the attention it deserves.

Sessions Individual sessions are usually 60 minutes. Couple sessions are typically 60-90 minutes. Most clients meet weekly, at least initially.

In-person and virtual I see clients in person at 3076 24th Street in Noe Valley. After an initial appointment or two, I am open to discussing a virtual or hybrid arrangement.
