I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist in San Francisco offering psychoanalytic therapy, psychoanalysis, and psychiatric consultation in both English and Spanish.

Many people seek treatment because something in their lives continues despite their efforts to change it. They may find themselves returning to similar relationship situations, struggling with anxiety or depression, or feeling unsettled in ways that are hard to explain.

I provide a steady setting where you can speak freely and explore these experiences as they unfold over time, making it possible to notice patterns that may not have been clear before.

My Approach

My approach is psychoanalytic. It begins with speaking freely and with careful listening to what emerges in thoughts, feelings, and relationships. Together, we begin to make connections and put into words things that may not be fully known or obvious at first.

As a psychiatrist, I can also provide psychiatric consultation and medication treatment. For some people, medication can be helpful alongside this process, while for others, psychoanalysis or psychoanalytic therapy on its own may be enough.

Experience and Perspective

My practice draws on many years of clinical experience across diverse settings and a wide range of concerns. My bilingual and bicultural background shapes how I listen and think about language, experience, and the particular histories of each person.
