Hi, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who believes meaningful change begins with a genuine therapeutic relationship. I value authenticity, curiosity, and creating a space where clients feel respected and accepted for who they are. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside people as they navigate life's challenges and discover their own resilience.
Hello! I am Registered Yoga Teacher, Clinical Supervisor & Consultant, as well as a Certified Focusing-Oriented Expressive Arts Practitioner.
I have almost a decade of experience working with children, adults, couples, and families in a therapeutic capacity. I specialize in trauma and family work. I am an integrative psychotherapist – integrating art therapy, play therapy, sand tray, mindfulness, astrology, spirituality, and more into therapy.
As a therapist, my goal is to help you live a happier and more fulfilling life. It can be difficult to know if you are on the right path, have healthy relationships, and are satisfied with your life's direction. How do you feel about where you are headed? I can support your self discovery in a compassionate and understanding way. I work towards identifying one's strengths and empowering clients struggling with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, relationship problems and life transitions. I specialize in working with young women, new moms and couples navigating the transitional stages of family life.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals optimize their overall mental health. I have a BA in Psychology from Cal State Fullerton, a MS in counseling from Cal State Los Angeles and have been practicing for nearly a decade. I am currently working with clients statewide via telehealth.
I enjoy working with adults from diverse backgrounds who seek to improve the quality of their lives. Is there a place you find yourself stuck? Do you have some insight into what may be happening, but want to seek professional support to grow and thrive? Whether you are familiar with counseling or not, each person's therapeutic journey is unique. Some people come with a specific goal in mind and others prefer a longer supportive therapy, traversing the many layers and aspects of their life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Pasadena
Finding family therapists in Pasadena starts with understanding what your family wants support with. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention family therapy, parent-child relationships, adolescent concerns, or approaches that match what you want to address.
Pasadena is a smaller city within a larger mental health care market, so local in-person options may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping care accessible from home. Family therapy sessions may include the full family, smaller groups, or individual family members depending on the goals of care. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, session structure, therapeutic approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to discuss fit.
Therapy in Pasadena can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer estimate before you book. Headway helps you compare family therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, making it easier to find someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and has availability.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
