Find a therapist in San Francisco, CA — covered by insurance

I incorporate an empathic and practical approach to counseling. I am experienced in working with a variety of populations and ages. I enjoy working with adolescents, women of color, those in life transitions, parents and caretakers.

I have a deep commitment to seeing people flourish in relationship to themselves, and to others. For many of us, we have some sense of what makes relationships great and what makes them terrible. Knowing and experiencing what makes great relationships stronger, and what turns terrible relationships around, is where I can work alongside you. As someone who has been stepped in Attachment science, I love allowing for people to make more coherent sense of their internal world, to build or restore bonds with others.

I enjoy bringing humor and kindness to my sessions I want to know what you need and will do my best with helping you get there

I am direct, forward looking, empathetic and a good listener.

My Training

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and a graduate of the PGSP–Stanford Psy.D. Consortium, a program known for its rigorous academic training and emphasis on evidence-based care. There, I received instruction and mentorship from some of the leading clinicians and researchers in the country. My practice draws on specialized training and extensive experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, and comprehensive psychological assessment.

My Approach to Therapy

My clinical approach is focused, compassionate, and results-oriented. I work actively with clients to identify what’s holding them back, and to build the tools and insight needed to move forward with clarity and confidence. For individuals, I use CBT to help shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. For couples, I use EFT to deepen emotional connection, improve communication, and restore trust. Whether I’m working with a client facing anxiety, burnout, or relationship conflict, my aim is always the same: to help you reconnect with your strength, values, and capacity for meaningful change.

My Professional Background

Before becoming a psychologist, I served as a U.S. Marine Corps officer, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. Leading diverse teams in high-stress environments taught me how to connect across differences—with people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and personalities. That experience continues to shape my work today. I bring a grounded, nonjudgmental presence to therapy, and I take seriously the responsibility of earning each client’s trust. My passion—both then and now—is helping individuals become the strongest, most authentic version of themselves.

I have been in mental health since 2014 and in general healthcare since 1993. I enjoy working with clients of all ages. The clients that tend to gravitate towards my practice are female-presenting, neurodivergent, and families with children with behavioral challenges. I have a vast experience/knowledge base in mental health having worked in community agencies, private practice, school therapy (specifically IEP-related therapy), court- and CPS-involved cases, running groups, and working both on adolescent and adult psychiatric inpatient units. I offer a complementary brief meet and greet before scheduling the first appointment so my clients/families can ask me questions and see if my practice is a good fit for them. I also have a trauma treatment background with certification - trauma comes up in a lot of my work with clients even if that is not what led to starting therapy.

Hello, I'm Mindy. I'm a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with more than a decade of clinical experience. My path has included military service, community health work in rural Morocco, and care across many settings, from intensive care to hospice. These experiences shape how I show up: with warmth, curiosity, and respect for everyone's story. I treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
