Hello! I'm Frances, and I offer therapy for individuals and couples. I am a California-licensed marriage and family therapist, and I approach my work with creativity, curiosity, humor, and a fierce sense of integrity.

You may be seeking therapy now because . . .

  • You're feeling stuck and want something to change.
  • You're struggling with aspects of pregnancy or parenting.
  • You're dealing with major changes and could use an "outside person" to talk to.
  • Symptoms of anxiety or depression are getting in the way of just living your life.
  • Past experiences (e.g., dysfunctional family history, trauma, oppression/marginalization) are affecting you in the present.
  • You are having difficulty developing or maintaining intimate, fulfilling relationships.
  • Paying attention to others' thoughts, feelings, and needs comes naturally to you, but you're not sure where to start when it comes to taking care of yourself.

Even if you value independence and self-sufficiency, you don't have to "go it alone." Together we can help you better understand yourself and your relationships, and help you make changes that are consistent with who you are and the life you want.
