- I believe therapy is one of the greatest gifts that we can give to ourselves. It is an opportunity to explore and learn about the mysteries of our inner self. When I am working with a client both of us discover a vast new world that waits to unfold. I studied at Pacifica Graduate Institute, a graduate school dedicated to discovering the inner contents of the self and the secrets of the archetypes of our humanity. I believe in working with my clients face to face, together, by sharing a journey in order to learn about the hardships of today while gaining knowledge about past and present experiences. I believe in and encourage my client’s strength and ability to solve their own problems and become the healers of their own wounds. I work as a guide and as a fellow traveler in your journey toward self discovery. With every step we take toward discovery, I work hand in hand with my clients, letting them lead in finding the sources of their suffering and their capability to heal them. Treatment Modalities: Person Centered Therapy, Post Jungian, Family Systems, Trauma Theory, Sex Therapy, and working within the Feminine Principle. I work with LGBTQ community and with all kind of diversity. At Eye Of The Storm counseling I specialize with Adolescents, Adults, Relationships, Individuation, Immigration, Life Changes, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Sexual Issues, Personal Growth and Development, Life Style issues, and Court referrals.
I bring 20 years of experience in many areas of therapy including LGBT specializations, drug/alcohol issues specialization, and a client centered approach

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Pasadena
Searching for addiction therapists in Pasadena starts with finding someone whose experience matches the type of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, nicotine dependence, gambling, compulsive behaviors, and related concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with a prescriber when medication management may be part of your care team.
Pasadena has a smaller local therapy market than nearby Los Angeles, so virtual appointments can expand your options while still keeping care accessible from home. You may want an in-person therapist near Old Pasadena, Playhouse Village, South Lake, or another nearby area, or you may prefer virtual sessions that fit around work, school, or caregiving schedules. Recovery can change over time, so it helps to look for a therapist who describes a non-judgmental style and experience with harm reduction, relapse prevention, or long-term support. Reading therapist bios can help you compare approach, communication style, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before you book.
Therapy in Pasadena can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower out-of-pocket session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find addiction therapists, check your coverage and estimated costs for your specific plan before booking, and book directly with therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse therapists, review bios, and choose a time when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
