Pasadena Mental Health Therapist

Welcome

People often begin therapy after noticing patterns that no longer feel sustainable, persistent anxiety, emotional exhaustion, relationship difficulties, self-criticism, or a growing sense of disconnection from themselves or others.

Psychotherapy offers a space to slow down, better understand these experiences, and begin relating to yourself with greater clarity and flexibility.

My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded in both clinical understanding and genuine human connection.

Clinical Background

Before transitioning into psychotherapy, I spent many years working closely with children, adolescents, and families across behavioral, educational, and residential care settings.

This work involved supporting individuals navigating emotional dysregulation, developmental differences, family stress, behavioral challenges, and complex relational dynamics. I collaborated extensively with caregivers, teachers, and multidisciplinary teams, experiences that continue to inform my understanding of attachment, emotional regulation, and interpersonal patterns.

My transition into psychotherapy grew naturally from this work and from a longstanding interest in emotional development and psychological well-being.
