Professional statement

Lucy is a psychotherapist in San Francisco meeting with clients throughout California. She specializes in working with thoughtful, self-aware individuals who give deeply to others — in their relationships, their families, and their work. This often comes with burnout, difficulty setting limits, and people-pleasing patterns rooted in early family dynamics. If this sounds familiar, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Lucy works primarily via telehealth and approaches her work with warmth and curiosity. She works best with people who are looking for an ongoing, collaborative relationship — where feeling genuinely safe and understood makes it possible to explore patterns, understand oneself more deeply, and work toward meaningful change.

Message to clients

If you’re reading this, you’ve probably been thinking about therapy for a while — and maybe talking yourself out of it just as long. Perhaps it feels indulgent, or you’re not sure you have enough to bring, or you’ve simply been too busy taking care of everyone else to get around to taking care of yourself.

I want you to know that whatever brings you here is enough. You don’t need to be in crisis to deserve support. You just need to be ready for a little more space for yourself.

My hope for you is simple — that over time, this becomes a place where you feel genuinely free to be yourself, think out loud about whatever is on your mind.
