There are moments where each of us experience difficult and stressful points in our lives. Whether it's a painful divorce, the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, going through stress in a relationship, unresolved self-esteem issues, questions about gender or sexuality, dealing with a troubled child, family stress, or facing pain from childhood and/or adult trauma. Life can be hard at times; there is no doubt about that. I have come to view those challenging times that we all experience, albeit in different ways, as opportunities for us to make positive changes and adjustments - what I like to call "reset moments."
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I rely on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help move my clients to lasting change. I have experience working in schools, hospitals, and in my own private practice. Through individual counseling, we move from places of stagnation and fear into the amazing future that each of us deserves and I believe we can have.
I am always amazed at the strength and courage of my clients. It's never easy to take that first step, to commit to the process of change, to put in the effort to do the hard work, and to hope for more. We must always remember that each of us has the power to be who we are intended to be and to create the lives we want. I look forward to working with you...

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding OCD therapists in Pasadena starts with looking for the right training, not just a general specialty label. Exposure and Response Prevention, often called ERP, is a common evidence-based therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. If you’re seeking support for intrusive thoughts, compulsions, obsessions, avoidance, or related anxiety, review therapist bios for direct experience with OCD and ERP. An obsession therapist or OCD-focused therapist may also list approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or anxiety-focused care.
Pasadena is a smaller local market, so your best fit may be nearby, virtual, or a mix of both. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond therapists with offices close to home, while in-person care may fit better if you prefer a set location for sessions. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their work with OCD. A bio that names ERP training or structured OCD care gives you more useful information than one that only lists OCD as an area of familiarity.
Therapy in Pasadena can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, review their bios, check whether they accept your plan, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. From there, you can choose a therapist who matches your needs, schedule, and coverage.
