I'm a licensed psychotherapist with 34 years of experience. I do my best to meet you "where you are" and to offer compassionate presence as you progress through your personal process of self-discovery, self-identification, and evolution.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing burnout, chronic stress/anxiety, trauma, and neurodivergence. As a neurodivergent therapist who has navigated my own experiences with burnout, I understand how exhausting it can be to constantly feel "on" for everyone else. I’m especially passionate about supporting helping professionals, caregivers, and high-achieving folks who spend so much energy caring for others that they forget to care for themselves. I also bring my full personality into the therapy room (including humor, authenticity, and the occasional slightly twisted joke) when the moment calls for it.
I graduated from Pepperdine University and have been licensed since 2009. I have extensive experience working with children and families struggling with anxiety, depression, symptoms of trauma and natural life stressors. I have supervised Intern and Licensed Clinicians and have enjoyed serving diverse populations.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Sierra Madre
Searching for therapists in Sierra Madre starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can also show how they describe their style, structure sessions, and work with people who have similar concerns.
Sierra Madre is a smaller city, so the number of nearby in-person therapists may be more limited than in Pasadena or other parts of the San Gabriel Valley. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in California. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and whether their communication style feels like a fit from their profile.
Therapy in Sierra Madre can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between in-person and virtual appointments. You can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
