Existential Psychotherapy
in San Francisco 

Moving Beyond "Success" to Find True Direction in the Bay Area

In a city defined by innovation, rapid growth, and the relentless pursuit of the "next big thing," it is remarkably easy to lose sight of yourself. Whether you are navigating the high-stakes environment of a Silicon Valley startup, leading a team in the Financial District, or managing the unique social pressures of San Francisco living, outward success often masks an inner sense of disconnection. You may find yourself achieving every goal on your list, yet still asking: "Is this all there is?"

​

This is what I call Dynamic Stagnation, the experience of being incredibly busy and productive while feeling fundamentally stuck in place. As a licensed psychotherapist serving San Francisco and the broader Bay Area via secure telehealth, I help high-achieving individuals look beneath the surface of their "to-do" lists. My work isn't just about managing stress or optimizing performance; it’s about existential inquiry. Together, we will explore the deeper questions of identity, purpose, and freedom, helping you move from a life of autopilot to a life of intentionality and depth.
