Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in South Pasadena, CA

I work with adolescents and adults and offer individual, couples, and family therapy. I help individuals identify their goals and make the changes necessary to help them lead more productive and fulfilling lives. I am directive, and I provide a warm, caring and non-judgmental environment to explore the issues and life-events with which you may be struggling.

Many of the struggles that bring us to therapy—anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, self-doubt, or feeling stuck—have deeper roots than we realize. Sometimes these patterns develop through painful experiences, major life transitions, or family systems that taught us to prioritize others, question ourselves, or adapt in ways that no longer serve us. Therapy offers the opportunity to understand these patterns and create lasting change.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the spouse of a retired Army Veteran, I've spent much of my adult life living in different parts of the country and world, continually building community and connection wherever life led. Those experiences deepened my understanding of resilience, belonging, and the many ways people adapt through change, loss, and transition. I bring that perspective into my work, creating a warm, compassionate, and collaborative space where individuals, couples, and families feel genuinely seen and understood.

Together, we'll work to understand the deeper patterns shaping your life, strengthen your relationships, and help you move toward a more authentic, fulfilling way of living.

I am a highly skilled therapist with a strong focus on trauma therapy, substance abuse, and mental health. I hold dual licensure as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and as an Associate Clinical Counselor. My educational background includes a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from William Jessup University and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Child Development from California State University, Chico.

You're smart, self-aware, and honestly pretty good at explaining exactly why you're stuck. You just can't seem to get unstuck. The to-do list exists. The plan sort of exists. And yet — the avoidance, the overthinking, the decision that keeps not getting made. Sound familiar? Anxiety, perfectionism, and big life transitions have a way of quietly running the show. Therapy isn't about fixing what's wrong with you — because nothing is. It's about understanding what's underneath, building some actual tools, and figuring out what you want. Not what everyone else thinks you should.

As a mixed-race, Queer therapist, I support other LGBTQ folks, providing a safe space to simply be. I believe our varying identities impact the way the world interacts with us, and how our mental health symptoms present. I view my therapeutic role as balancing support and action to nudge you into new patterns that better support you.

I enjoy working with individuals in the recovery community, first responders, and those who have experienced traumatic childhoods. I don't just talk the talk, I walk the walk.

You receive care grounded in empathy, cultural awareness, and collaboration. Sessions center on clear goals, practical skills, and meaningful insight. I create a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood without judgment.

I provide services through in-person and telehealth settings. My approach blends evidence-based practice with care shaped around your needs, values, and lived experience. My goal centers on supporting clarity, stability, and long-term well-being through an affirming therapeutic relationship.

I’m a Licensed Therapist working with clients in California / Florida. Along with my clinical training, I bring lived experience that helps me meet my clients where they're at. Outside of work I enjoy sports, cooking and trying new food, staying active, and getting outdoors—especially hiking—I do my best to live a full life while making sure I have some time to slow down and take it easy.

I’m direct, engaged, and client-driven—and I curse a lot in sessions. I work best with clients who’ve been through hell and are ready to grow and heal from those experiences. I believe therapy works best when there’s a strong foundational fit. If what you’ve read resonates, great—let’s explore working together; if it doesn’t, that’s just as important to know as well! I’m a trauma-informed EMDR therapist who works with childhood trauma, complex trauma (C-PTSD), depression, anxiety, and grief. I take an integrative approach, pulling from multiple modalities rather than forcing you into one box. I also incorporate creative expression into sessions—especially music—because sometimes words just don’t cut it.
