Specialties
I have the best job in the world -- helping people to live more energized, connected, joyful lives by bringing them the best tools available today in individual, couples, and family therapy! After 23 years in high tech and healthcare, I found I missed the intimacy --the heart-to-heart connection-- of solving problems on a more human scale. I returned to psychology, learning all that I could about the various problems in living and obstacles to sustained happiness people experience today. We know so much more today about how to help heal people's hurts, how to overcome organic imbalances, how to create sustainable happiness, and how to have healthy, thriving families and relationships! I use Gottman Method for Couples Therapy because I love the powerful blend of science and compassion. For individual work, I often turn to ACT - Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, a direct, mindful and effective modality.
Give me a call, tell me what is going on, and let's see how I can help.
Meet the Business Owner: Beth L.
I am a TCK (Third Culture Kid), I grew up in various countries all around the world, "returning" to live in my parent's passport country (the US) as a late teenager. As a TCK, I have a deep appreciation for the amazing variety of ways people across cultures seek to create family, meaning, relationship, and joy in their lives-- and the unique obstacles to trying to do that in an ever-shifting global community.
Before returning to my first love --helping people to live more energized, connected, joyful lives by bringing them the best tools available today in individual, marriage, and family therapy-- I spent 23 years in high tech and healthcare, managing enormous technical projects all over the country.
In today's world, we know so much more about how to help heal people's hurts, how to overcome organic imbalances, how to create sustainable happiness, and how to have healthy, thriving families and relationships. I feel truly fortunate to be a therapist in San Francisco!
