With a foundation in relational and psychodynamic practice, my approach blends emotional attunement with thoughtful inquiry. Working collaboratively, we use both feeling and insight to illuminate what’s been hidden from view, understand longstanding patterns, and restore a sense of wholeness.

Sessions available in-person or online at your convenience.

Therapy is offered both in-person in Pasadena as well as online, so you can choose what what feels most comfortable and convenient.
