We are Marriage and Family Therapists with locations in San Francisco and Oakland.  We offer individual, family, and in-class therapy, social skills groups, and consultation and trainings.

Whether you are a child, parent, or teacher, we want to empower you to connect deeply with yourself. We want to help you create meaningful and satisfying relationships. And more than anything,  to be able  to live a happy and harmonious life.
Through the tools of play therapy, practical coaching, and relational psychotherapy we help children and adults reflect,  build  stronger bonds, and find the inner resources to create the family life you are looking for.
Contact us to connect with our child and family therapists today. Discover how tele play therapy can help your family get the support you need now.

Free Mindfulness Group for Kids

In this time of incredible upheaval in our lives and unprecedented demands on parents it's more important than ever to find some ground beneath our feet. Children are feeling the changes in our routine and structure and this can lead to emotional outbursts and dysregulation. Children of all ages can benefit from mindfulness, the simple practice of bringing a gentle, accepting attitude to the present moment. It can help parents and caregivers, too, by promoting happiness and relieving stress. In these free classes your child will be guided in activities that develop compassion, focus, curiosity and empathy. And remember, mindfulness can be fun!
