Are you stuck in the same old arguments? Struggling with communication, boundaries, thoughts of leaving, or infidelity? Or maybe intimacy feels awkward or stale? Are you or your loved ones repeating behaviors or relationships and wishing you could break the cycle? Sometimes we get stuck, and change can feel impossible. That's where I come in. My job is to listen, help you understand root causes of your difficulties, break unwanted patterns, and teach you practical tools to help change your life. If you have the sense you're not reaching your potential for health, happiness, or success, it may be time to move toward a change.
Together, we can build customized goals and an actionable plan. I'm qualified to help with many challenges; however, I specialize in working with couples (communication, boundaries, infidelity, etc.) and individuals (anxiety, chronic pain/illness, career). I also enjoy helping clients to become more authentic, increase confidence, and become more assertive.
I currently practice as an AMFT at Caring Connected in Pasadena and have 6+ years of experience across multiple community mental health and private practice settings. I currently offer video and phone sessions only. I also offer the ability to pay via credit/debit card and fill out forms in a secure, online Client Portal.

Many of my clients come in saying, "I more or less understand what my issues are, but I struggle when it comes to actually changing my behavior." If this sounds like you, we may be a good fit as I have a focus on practicality and helping to answer the, "what now?" question that often comes after awareness is reached. My style is characterized by warmth, practicality, fairness, and compassion.

I am trained in many modalities but most often employ Imago Relationship Therapy, CBT, Solution-Focused, and Psychodynamic approaches. I enjoy taking proper time to get to know you and your story deeply, while also making sure to teach practical tools up front. That way, you are provided with some immediate relief while we work towards understanding more complex patterns and systems.
