With over 10 years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages, from children to adolescents and adults.

I recognize that seeking therapy can be intimidating and anxiety-provoking, and I am committed to providing a safe and welcoming space where you can freely express yourself without judgment. My therapeutic approach is rooted in understanding, cultural sensitivity, and empowering individuals from diverse backgrounds to improve their holistic well-being and growth.

If you're seeking help for your relationship with your partner, considering making a long-term commitment, struggling to reignite the "spark" you once had, or feeling desperate to stop the constant arguments, I would like to help you get your relationship back on the right track! Many couples wait too long to seek out professional relationship help, and suffer the pain and sadness of being out-of-sync with their partner for far too long. Unfortunately, when the commitment level has bottomed out, relationships often pass the point of no return and simply cannot be salvaged. Don't wait until it's too late!

Are you feeling overwhelmed or anxious? Maybe depression has started to creep in and has made facing daily life feel daunting. Sometimes these feelings make it hard to sleep, or to get out of bed in the morning. Maybe what once felt like an easy task now feels impossible to even think about. Seeking therapy is a great step toward getting the care and support you need to find healing and to build healthy coping skills for managing the ups and downs of life. I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker currently working under the supervision of Aviva Wolfson, LMFT, LPCC at Mindful Pasadena.

Everyone has challenging times and pain in their life they want to move past. Many need someone to accompany them to move through these times. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is key to helping people overcome trauma, grief, and disappointments to move toward the goals you want in your life. I have over 25 years of experience with children, youth and families who have experienced trauma, conflict, behavioral challenges, and life transitions including moving toward independence, exploring sexuality, and managing disabilities. I have seen the healing and growth that happen. Give yourself the chance.

I often work with individuals who want to better understand themselves and their relationships, improve difficult emotions, rediscover joy, and redefine themselves from painful life experiences. Learning about the mind-body connection, unpacking problematic beliefs of self and/or others, developing effective communication tools, and living authentically are common themes in my practice.

Maybe you are a teenager who feels misunderstood by the adults around you. Maybe you are struggling in your relationships and you feel alone. Maybe you have experienced anxiety or depression and do not know where to turn. Maybe you've gone through a loss. At the core of many problems is the lack of feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. We want to feel we matter.

I bring to the treatment setting over thirty years of experience as a licensed psychotherapist , first working with families and children who have experienced trauma, then as a graduate psychoanalyst with expertise in recognizing and treating unconscious patterns that play out in current relationships and behaviors. Every situation is unique, and difficult problems must be deeply understood to effect lasting change. Together we will identify and work through the underlying dynamics that contribute to your current concerns. Psychodynamic work is beneficial for those who have an interest in, and a capacity for, self-reflection and personal growth.

Do you struggle with feelings of anxiety, depression, guilt, or low self-esteem? Do you find yourself avoiding social engagements or so preoccupied with excessive worrying? Finding ways to navigate these difficult feelings can help you get back on track. I use a psychodynamic approach and CBT that focuses on uncovering patterns of behavior and ways of relating to ourselves and others that are often outside of our awareness. I also consider how our past impacts who we are today. Through acceptance and empathy, we will establish a trusting therapeutic relationship and work together toward your personal growth and self-discovery.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
