I'd like to begin by praising you for reaching this juncture in your journey. Embarking on the quest to find the right therapist can often be fraught with stress and anxiety, and the task of discovering a suitable match can sometimes appear insurmountable. In my perspective, one of the fundamental tenets of psychotherapy is the creation of a secure, collaborative, and mutually respectful partnership where significant personal development can flourish.

I use empathy and structure to help you gain skills to manage your anxiety. I use principles and techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment Theory to help you revive a secure relationship with yourself so that you can live more aligned with your values, while also managing blockages (such as negative thoughts and emotions) in a healthy way.

Life's journey is filled with various challenges that can lead to stress, depression, anxiety, or trauma. These experiences can then lead to feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and less of oneself as well as other issues such as relationship difficulties. While it can be difficult to confront these issues, I believe in the remarkable resilience within each of us, that allows us to grow and overcome in the midst of challenges. I'm here to offer you a safe space where you can freely explore your stories and learn new ways to cope and heal. I value and deeply respect who you are and the wisdom and strengths that already exist within you.

I entered the field of social work to help heal. At some point in life, everyone benefits from emotional support. My experience consists of helping individuals cope with issues of abuse, trauma, stressors, emotional challenges, or life transitions. Searching for emotional support or guidance can be an overwhelming, yet a courageous first step to the healing process. I have over 20 years of experience treating high-risk individuals. I held various positions in the public and nonprofit sectors that include schools, medical facilities, and community-based organizations.

Hello! My name is Annu, and I am a therapist in San Francisco (and online). I work with immigrants and adult-children of immigrants....also known as Third Culture Kids (TCK) or First Generation Americans. I work with multi-cultural and multi-racial couples, many of whom are people of color. I work with successful, career-driven achievers. I belong to each of these demographics - my parents immigrated to the US in 1971, and I worked in the corporate world for nearly 2 decades, climbing the corporate ladder rapidly before pivoting my career by going back to school to study counseling psychology. I work virtually via Zoom or phone.

There are literally hundreds of therapy approaches. And yet, effective treatment always involves the same truth: No matter what kind it is, in order to get anywhere, you have to really experience it, not just talk about it.

You've likely read countless therapist bios and blurbs by now. Allow me to respect your situation by not advertising generic compassion. After all, it may be a problem of time leading you to this website. Maybe your relationships stay in the same conflicts; perhaps life hurries you without direction. A vague sense of yourself may linger outside your grasp. Is that person hinting for (or hiding from) your attention? I wonder why? Together in our work we could attempt to consider the apparent necessity of what afflicts you with curiosity and care.

In a society with high standards, caregiving challenges, and demanding work environments, it is easy to forget about our own well-being. It can even appear more convenient to put our mental health on the back-burner, but if we disregard self-care it can lead to a burnout. Burnout can lead to mental exhaustion, cynicism, detachment, and depression. Furthermore, when we are burnt out, the light we shine on and for others is diminished. I can assist and support you in working through hardships that may cause you frustration, have you in a burnout state, and/or make it difficult for you to manage daily tasks.

Most everyone experiences some Problems of Living during the course of his or her life. These can manifest as common psychological symptoms or as difficulties in relationship or work. By attending to the contributions that both past experiences and present circumstances make, I work to liberate effort and energy caught in these problems, making that very energy available for the pursuit of wishes and some measure of joy.

I see clients throughout California via video sessions. Most of the people I work with are told they need to be different than they are. Sometimes they get that message explicitly, always they get that message in the way people treat them. Therapy with me doesn’t aim to make you different. We’ll work to help you navigate the world while being healthy and fully you. Specific issues my clients are navigating include: being neurodivergent (mostly autistic and ADHD), being transgender or outside the gender binary, being non-monogamous, or being deep in grief.
