My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own personal experiences and my interests in human behavior, attachment theory, and social justice. My nearly six years of experience working in community mental health have strongly influenced my therapeutic lens. I am LGBTQIA+-affirming, committed to working from an antiracist lens, and deeply value inclusivity of all kinds. I have been fortunate enough to serve a socioculturally diverse population, including adults living with severe and persistent mental illness, undocumented individuals, survivors of trauma, LGBTQ+ folks, and differently-abled children and adolescents.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a PhD and 34 years of experience, offering telehealth therapy to clients in California. I'm most in my element with people who are learning their needs, what's getting in their way and feel ready to meet their challenges. My clients come from all walks of life. I help those who are too hard on themselves to become their own best friend.
I have over 7 years of experience working with depression and anxiety disorders, trauma, couples, and other severe mental health concerns. My goal is to create a comfortable, safe space where you can begin your therapeutic journey with confidence and without judgment. Together, we can openly explore what you want in—and out of—life. If you don't know what that looks like yet, that's okay. We can figure it out together. Your goals may also change along the way, and therapy should have the flexibility to change with you.
I earned my master's degree in Social Work 29 years ago. Over the course of my career I have enjoyed working with girls and women of all ages. I enjoy supporting girls and women who are navigating middle school, high school, college, relationships, post-partum period, motherhood, divorce, menopause, and becoming empty nesters. I love seeing my clients begin therapy with stress, anxiety, OCD, depression, grief and loss, or trauma then graduate from therapy in a much better place. I believe that you can thrive no matter your age and no matter your circumstances. I have less experience helping transgender women but I really enjoy that work as well. I consider myself a LGBTQIA+ ally.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Pasadena
Finding postpartum therapists in Pasadena starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to focus on. Some therapists may also list perinatal experience or a perinatal mental health certification, such as PMH-C, which can signal added training in pregnancy and postpartum care.
Pasadena is a smaller city, so the number of nearby therapists with postpartum experience may vary by location, schedule, and in-person availability. Virtual appointments can expand your options, especially if your schedule changes week to week, you are coordinating infant care, or you are managing physical recovery. Beyond specialty, compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each person describes their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum concerns before you book.
Therapy in Pasadena can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps make that process clearer. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before booking, then browse therapists who match your preferences, offer virtual or in-person care, and are ready to take new patients.
