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.
