Hi my name is Ana, I'm a dedicated mental health professional specializing in comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment, strategic treatment planning, and collaborative care. Life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or major life transitions. You may be feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or simply wanting a safe space to process what you’ve been carrying. My goal is to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. Together, we can work toward helping you build resilience, improve emotional well-being, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with yourself.
I have a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work, and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), working in private practice as a Psychotherapist. I live in Los Angeles, and work in-person or hybrid, with adults, teens, couples and the aging population. I specialize in anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, work stress/dissatisfaction, career goals, sleep disorders, substance use, trauma (ptsd/complex/acute), obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD/OCPD), attention deficit disorders (ADD/ADHD). In addition I deal with grief, isolation, and breaking creative blocks.
I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats
I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in San Francisco
Finding family therapists in San Francisco starts with the type of support your family is looking for. Family therapy may help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication patterns, and major life changes. A marriage and family therapist in San Francisco is trained to work with the relational system, not only one person. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as family systems therapy, trauma-informed care, or experience with couples and family counseling.
In a large market like San Francisco and the wider Bay Area, having many options can make it harder to narrow your search. Location may matter if you prefer in-person sessions near your home, work, school, or transit route. Virtual appointments can make scheduling easier when multiple family members need to attend from different places. Family therapy sessions may include the full family, caregivers and children, partners, or individual family members, so review therapist bios to understand their structure, communication style, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in San Francisco can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, confirm your benefits, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. You can compare profiles, choose between in-person and virtual care, and book directly when you find a therapist who fits your family’s needs.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
