Great to meet you!

Do you ever feel like life is adding more and more to your plate and it seems impossible to do it all? Does work keep demanding more of your time and energy than you have to give? Do you ever wonder how much longer you can sustain this?

I've been a supervisor in health care for over 10 years and have seen how much is asked of employees and how it can take a toll in our fast-paced and very full lives.

I'd love the opportunity to meet with you to discuss what you're struggling with right now. Maybe it's your work, your home life, or a recent shift that has thrown everything out of balance. We can use a variety of techniques to help you decompress and focus more on what matters most to you.

My approach to therapy

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I take a strengths-based approach that focuses on helping you build on your existing strengths while developing new tools and coping skills. I strive to create a supportive, collaborative environment where you feel heard, respected, and understood.

I often incorporate visual aids, worksheets, and creative approaches such as art to help clients regulate emotions, process grief and loss, and navigate life transitions.

I offer therapy virtually and in person. I can also arrange in-home sessions for clients in the Pasadena area. I'm open for a brief phone call before your first session if you'd like to touch base.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, I’ll spend time getting to know you, learning about your background, and understanding what brings you to therapy right now. Many people come to therapy because of a specific challenge or life transition, and we can begin there at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

As we continue working together, other themes or concerns may naturally emerge and we can explore those as well. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and comfortable being yourself. Together, we can problem-solve and work toward the goals that matter most to you.
