Hi, my name is James, and I have a passion for working with couples, adults, and older adults who may be navigating challenges in their marriages, careers, retirement, or simply in “finding purpose.” My goal is to help you shape—or re-shape—your life in ways that raise the quality of your day-to-day experience. Since you are reading this, I want you to know that an effective therapist is not only defined by professional training, but also by life experiences, expertise, patience, compassion, and an open mind. Therapy is a partnership, and together we will work toward clear, realistic, and meaningful goals that give you direction and confidence. I believe that growth often begins with the willingness to take the first step, and one of my favorite sayings reflects that truth: “Whatever you believe that you can do; begin it!” – Goethe If you are ready to begin, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

As a black female school-based therapist, my dream client is one who approaches therapy with openness, honesty, and a willingness to engage in the process of self-discovery and growth. My dream client understands the importance of mental health and values the support that therapy can provide in navigating the challenges of adolescence. Ideally, my dream client is someone who is eager to explore their identity, including aspects of race, culture, and gender, in a safe and affirming space. They are open to discussing sensitive topics and are willing to challenge societal norms and expectations that may be impacting their well-being. My dream client is proactive in their approach to therapy, actively participating in sessions, completing assigned tasks or homework, and practicing coping skills outside of our sessions. They understand that therapy is a collaborative effort and are committed to working together to achieve their goals. Additionally, my dream client is respectful, compassionate, and empathetic towards others, fostering a sense of community and support within the therapeutic environment. They are open to learning from different perspectives and are willing to engage in discussions around social justice, equity, and inclusion. Overall, my dream client is someone who is committed to their personal growth and development, embraces their uniqueness, and values the power of therapy in fostering resilience and well-being.

My name is Ana Del Rosario Murray. I am a Latina Indigenous woman, mother, and wife proudly rooted in the vibrant SF Bay Area. I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of San Francisco and have spent the past seven years working throughout San Francisco in service of community wellness. With a deep passion for community-based work, I bring an intimate understanding of the complexities faced by diverse populations. Growing up in the tightly knit community of South San Francisco, I witnessed firsthand the socioeconomic, cultural, and systemic challenges that shape people’s lives. This lived experience fuels my unwavering commitment to making a meaningful impact and uplifting those around me. I believe deeply in the power of collective action and healing. By embracing my cultural heritage and drawing from personal and professional experience, I strive to foster authentic connections, empower individuals and families, and promote social justice within the communities I serve.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW118953) in the state of California with over 8 years of experience working with individuals of various ages and backgrounds. I utilize culturally sensitive therapy techniques and incorporate a person-centered approach into the work I do with clients. I am trained in a variety of therapy modalities and utilize an integrative approach with Psychodynamic, Narrative, Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Most importantly, my approach is collaborative and tailored to the specific needs of the client, recognizing that everyone is unique in their own experience. I provide a warm and empathetic space where we can explore your emotions and experiences together. I utilize both lived experience and clinical training to work through emotions and issues I support clients through. Witnessing resilience and growth in each client is a privilege, and my goal is to empower you to define your path towards self-discovery and acceptance. My career path choice stems from being a first-generation bicultural Latina in Los Angeles. Having lived in my home country of Nicaragua for over 9 years, I learned first hand the amount of stigma that remains in the Latinx community surrounding mental health. My goal is to be a social agent of change for the Latinx community by providing high quality services that break down stigma barriers and will positively impact generations to come.
