Couples Counseling Therapists in Pasadena, CA

I am currently only providing telehealth services. I work with individuals, couples , and families to pay witness to and overcome the traumas and difficulties in their lives. My aim to empower and provide support to those who have anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship stress, and chronic illness.

Is life too much to handle and it's triggering anger? Sometimes it feels that way... Would you like to reach the goals you once set? Are you ready to know more about yourself and do thing and solve problems like you once did but somehow it feels overwhelming now? Are you ready to thrive? You are in the right place. Call the number above for a free phone consultation.

What is your vision for your life? My non-traditional, postmodern perspective results in a collaborative style of therapy designed to help you find the answer. Together, we will examine the contents of your life and determine which elements will be useful on your journey, and which should be discarded. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a certified Imago therapist, specializing in individual, pre-marital, couples and parenting issues. My practice, though centered on relationships, includes a wide range of clients whose needs vary from LGBTQ issues, grief, career anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

I work with individuals, couples , and families including children, adolescents, and adults. I use various approaches, including psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapies. My goal is to provide a supportive and comfortable environment tailored my clients' individual needs to help them reach the personal growth they are looking for.

Are you concerned about a child or adolescent that is struggling? Are they shutting down and sad? Worried or mad? Are they having trouble functioning at school or with friends? How about at home and with their family? Has something in their life changed? Maybe they need a little more support at this particular time... Therapy can help. I work with individuals of all ages, couples , and families.

Sometimes when life throws us a curve ball, or when we are dealing with a more chronic, ongoing challenge, talking to a therapist can help us see our inner strengths and abilities which can help us successfully navigate through these challenging times. Talking to a therapist can also help us push ourselves to reach even greater personal goals.

​I work to ensure all of my clients develop insights, overcome obstacles, and uncover the version of themselves they seek to find. I understand that in the face of challenges, this becomes an incredibly daunting task. I offer a non-judgmental and compassionate space for clients to feel heard and understood. I work with teens and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship issues, divorce, and life transitions. I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and Family Systems approaches, while incorporating behavioral techniques as needed.

I work with individuals, couples , and families. Therapy is an effective way to identify emotional and psychological 'blind spots'. Discovery of blind spots enables clients to make real their vision of happiness and healthy living. Depression, addiction, trauma, relationship problems, and more may often be explained in terms of maladaptive responses to suffering. I work with clients to explore their relationships, developmental history, and willingness to change. Psychological, emotional, and physical engagement in the world are strongly encouraged.

Do you ever feel too overwhelmed to deal with everything you’re going through? If so, you're not alone. There are many others just like you who experience depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health challenges at one point or another. Others need help coping with a serious illness, substance abuse, or major life transitions. Still others struggle to cope with relationship troubles, job loss, the death of a loved one, stress, or other issues. And these problems can often become "too much."

When you're hurting emotionally - sad, anxious, overstressed, or experiencing pain or loss in a relationship - you want help from someone who is competent, kind, and trustworthy. It is my commitment to provide a safe and supportive place for you to freely share your struggles, challenges, needs, and desires. I work actively and collaboratively to help you develop and use your strengths and resources to successfully face the important problems in your life. My ultimate goal through this process is to support you in discovering new levels of emotional freedom that allow you to live well and love well.

Seeking therapy is a courageous starting point for pursuing more fulfilling relationships and life experiences. Your past and present circumstances do not have to define your identity. It is normal to experience uncertainty as you begin this process but I am committed to providing a safe space to explore your unique needs at your own pace. I am confident that we can collaborate to identify goals, clarify obstacles, and develop effective skills to promote change and improve your quality of life. My approach is best described as warm, empowering, and non-judgmental, but active and direct. I offer both in-person and virtual sessions.

Hello from the Founder and Director of Greenhouse Therapy Center...for growing people! We are located in two beautiful, vintage homes in a lovely neighborhood. If you are experiencing stress, unhappiness, or relational problems, growth-oriented therapy is perfect for helping you become a fully evolved person, partner , or parent. Using attachment theory and developmental psychology, we can help adults, teens, and children finish growing up fully so that you may feel better moment to moment, experience much deeper levels of intimacy and joy, and define and reach your life dreams.

"HELL is PROXIMITY without INTIMACY". If you are physically close to your partner , but feel like thousands of miles away, then you can certainly relate to this definition. I recognize that one of the HARDEST DECISIONS in your relationship IS TO DECIDE WHETHER TO GIVE UP OR TRY HARDER! If you are STUCK, counseling might help you get clarity. My passion is to bring couples emotionally closer, and to help them CONNECT again. I work with individuals and couples going through life transitions (i.e.birth of children) or difficult issues such as affairs, trust, jealousy, and communication issues.

I work with people experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, difficult transitions, grief, and loss. I bring empathy and curiosity to the therapeutic relationship , using genuine connection to build trust and safety within our work together. In addition to focusing on your strengths, I will help you build skills to understand and navigate your emotional experience. I believe in the capacity for growth and healing within each person.

Thoughts, feelings and actions are all energetically connected. Conscious insight into all three of these is essential for changing patterns that no longer serve you. I provide support, tools and insight to help you find the resources within yourself and your life to help you deal with loss/grief, shift relationship patterns, heal personal struggles, and alleviate depression and anxiety. A good therapeutic connection can provide a different experience and perspective, and help you heal and thrive in your life. You do not need to be a prisoner of your past. You can transform your present and create your future.

Are you struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, or discontent with certain relationships and circumstances in your life? Symptoms such as anxiety, depression, relationship distress, anger, and addiction are messengers that something in your life requires attention. I am privileged to walk alongside you in your journey towards a deeper understanding and connection with who you are. Together we will explore and attend to the underlying issues and feelings of these symptoms as a step towards healing. Simultaneously, we may adopt ways to cope with and alleviate the pain, loneliness, and difficulties you experience.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive background in both psychotherapy and assessment. Many of the clients I have worked with in psychotherapy come from backgrounds of abuse and trauma, grief and loss, depression and anxiety, relationship breakdowns, and/or adjustment difficulties to career and life transitions. I draw from psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral perspectives to psychotherapy as well as scientifically grounded research. I work collaboratively with my clients to set the goals and pace of the psychotherapy process.
