I've been licensed by the State of California as a Marriage and Family Therapist since 2019, after practicing for two and a half years as a Supervised Associate.
I was born in Lille, France, and began studying ballet at the age of seven. At eleven, I was fortunate enough to be accepted into the boarding school of the Paris Opera Ballet, where I trained for seven years. I then joined the Paris Opera Ballet, where I danced for eight years and reached the rank of soloist.
My career eventually brought me to the United States and to San Francisco Ballet, where I spent the final fifteen years of my performing career as a Principal Dancer. Dance was an incredibly meaningful part of my life and taught me so much about discipline, perseverance, vulnerability, and the importance of having people around you who believe in you.
As I approached the end of my dancing career, I began looking for a new direction. I returned to college and discovered a growing interest in psychology. This eventually led me to pursue a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology, with the hope of combining my experience in the performing arts with my desire to support others. I was particularly interested in working with dancers, athletes, artists, and anyone facing the pressures and challenges that can come with pursuing something they care deeply about.
What I enjoy most about being a therapist is getting to know people and hearing their stories. I am continually touched by the courage it takes to share our experiences, especially during times when life feels difficult or uncertain. My role is to offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where people can feel comfortable being themselves, explore what they are going through, and find new perspectives and tools to help them move forward.
Having experienced many of my own challenges, both personally and professionally, I know how valuable it can be to have someone who listens, understands, and offers support along the way. Being able to provide that kind of space for others is something I find deeply meaningful and rewarding.

I am John J. Roach, founder of the Law Office of John J. Roach in San Francisco. I have represented injured victims throughout the Bay Area and Northern California with extensive trial experience since 2009, and I am completely bilingual in English and Spanish.
My practice is exclusively plaintiff-side personal injury — including car accidents, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, Uber and Lyft accidents, wrongful death, and dog bite cases. I have recovered more than $25 million for injured clients in Northern California, including $6 million and $2.185 million in traumatic brain injury cases. I have taken nine personal injury cases to verdict and won all nine.
As a true solo practitioner since 2015, I personally handle every case from initial consultation through resolution. There are no junior associates and no hand-offs — clients work directly with me at every stage.
The initial consultation is completely free and confidential, and is available in both English and Spanish at no additional cost. I work on a contingency fee basis, which means clients pay no attorney fees unless I recover compensation. My office is located at 1388 Sutter Street, Suite 810, in San Francisco, and I serve clients throughout San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Daly City, and the broader Bay Area.
