I specialize in working with individuals navigating trauma and anxiety. I am trained and certified in Brainspotting, a treatment designed to locate unprocessed trauma and allow deeper processing within the subcortical brain. Being a Certified Anxiety Informed Professional (CAIP), I also trained specifically to work with people who are worriers, over-analyzers, or individuals stuck in fear and life-draining routines. I understand individuals who have done therapeutic work before and are hoping for something different. I work from a holistic therapeutic approach to support the body, mind, and spirit toward growth and healing.

My therapeutic approach mainly focuses on helping my clients identify their strengths to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a firm believer that our childhood experiences contribute to our beliefs, behavioral patterns, and selecting a romantic partner. Therapy is a process! To allow ourselves to be intimate and vulnerable with someone about our experiences and trauma can be daunting. As a therapist, it is my goal to help validate, create a safe environment and help understand aspects of lived experiences.

I became a psychologist because I am interested in people's stories. What has happened? What is it that makes you so sad, so anxious, so stressed? I believe that working together we can make sense of your story and your pain, and find ways to alleviate it. I have been in practice in Pasadena for 27 years. I work with adults, adolescents and children.

I have a passion for working with young adults and adults. I love to work with individuals of all backgrounds, though I specialize in working with APIDA and neurodivergent individuals. Those who are seeking to understand themselves and how they belong in the world can gain insight and confidence in their work with me. Many clients I've worked with also have a desire to understand how their past is impacting their present day as well. Mental health and wellbeing is important to consider when a person feels stuck, but paying attention to culture, our environment, and other influences may help break down some of those barriers as well.

Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, interrelation issues, or any of the complexities of life, therapy should be a non-judgmental space for reflection and vulnerability. Finding the right fit to help you explore these internal, interpersonal, or sociocultural factors can be a challenge, and I want to meet you where you're at, then help you get where you’d like to go. My focus is building a strong therapeutic relationship together and having an affirming space for you to explore your identity, experiences, and emotions. Together, we can draw on somatic therapy, EMDR techniques, CBT, and more.

If you are thinking about coming to therapy, chances are there is something going on that is prompting you to do so. Perhaps it is a stressful job or relationship; or you may be struggling with anxiety or depression. And, what may seem to be the "problem" on the surface could actually be related to something on a deeper level. As your therapist, I will work with you to try and understand what this deeper level is all about--all the thoughts, feelings and memories and the relationship they have to your current problem or situation.

Are you exhausted by the world? Maybe you feel out of control, lost, stuck, anxious, or like an imposter? Are you repeating behaviors, relationships, or situations, and wishing you could break the cycle? Maybe little things feel more stressful than usual. Sometimes, we aren't sure what causes our distress, but we can sense we're not reaching our potential for health, happiness, or success. Even when we know the cause, change can still feel impossible. That's where I come in. My job is not to judge you; it's to listen, help you understand the root causes of your difficulties, and teach you practical tools to help change your life.

Therapy gives us an opportunity to find and give voice to our authentic selves, achieving healing in the process. And as we heal, our relationships heal. I am passionate about working with couples, adults, and teens who have become stuck in unsatisfying relationships, destructive patterns, or their own individual pain. This "stuck-ness" can leave us feeling alone, misunderstood, anxious, and depressed. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space that is caring, challenging, and encouraging as we work together to develop new insights and create the personal and relational growth you are seeking.

I support individuals in navigating the intricate layers of abuse and trauma, especially those connected to sex, sexuality, and gender, as well as those who have experienced abuse in narcissistic or antagonistic relationships. Grounded in depth psychology and feminist psychology, my work honors the interplay between the unconscious and the cultural narratives that shape our identities. I am deeply committed to helping individuals reclaim their bodies, voices, and Self in a world that so often demands they sacrifice their authenticity to feel a sense of belonging.

I believe that our lives are built on relationships. Be it between parent and child, partner and partner, supervisor and employee, or peer and peer, relationships can be healing and rewarding, but they can also be painful and difficult. We all know the stress and heartache that can come from a relationship in distress and we all know that desperate, painful feeling of wanting relief. Helping people find their way through these difficulties and back to each other is one of the most rewarding and exciting things I do. I specialize in helping families connect and thrive.
