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'm honored to be part of your journey of transformation. I approach sessions in collaboration, as you learn to free yourself from judgment, criticism, and pain; to change negative perceptions that do not serve; and to experience more ease and peace in life.
As a licensed psychologist for 30 years, I am passionate about helping people struggling with life challenges find joy and stability.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in South Pasadena
Finding the right therapist in South Pasadena starts with getting clear on what you need. Consider whether you're looking for support with a specific concern like anxiety, depression, ADHD, or relationship challenges, or whether you'd benefit from a broader approach. Licensed therapists (such as LCSWs, LMFTs, LPCs, and psychologists) each bring different training and perspectives, so reviewing a provider's bio and areas of focus can help you narrow your search.
South Pasadena is part of the broader Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley area, where hundreds of therapists practice both in-person and virtually. Practical factors matter too: look for a provider whose schedule aligns with yours, who offers the session format you prefer, and who you feel comfortable speaking with. Many providers offer a free phone consultation so you can get a sense of their style before booking your first session.
Therapy in the greater Los Angeles area can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most straightforward ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see an estimated session cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their coverage.
