Services

I provide psychotherapy in person at my Pasadena and Brea offices, and online for clients anywhere in California.

Each 45-minute session is $200.

Core Specialities

  • Common challenges include communication breakdowns, unmet expectations, and difficulties navigating roles or shared goals. I help couples strengthen their relationship by fostering healthy communication, addressing underlying issues, and building emotional intimacy.

  • Issues like trust, emotional disconnection, and conflict can arise in romantic, familial, or social relationships. I provide a space for clients to explore these dynamics, improve communication, and develop tools to cultivate meaningful and supportive connections.

  • Grief can manifest as sadness, anger, numbness, or physical exhaustion following a loss. I help individuals process their emotions, find meaning in their experience, and move toward healing at their own pace.

Emotional & Mental Health

  • Symptoms can include constant worry, restlessness, muscle tension, and sleep disturbances. I work with clients to develop coping strategies, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and reduce anxiety’s impact on their lives.

  • Signs include persistent sadness, lack of motivation, changes in appetite, and fatigue. I help clients explore underlying causes, build healthy habits, and reconnect with meaningful aspects of life to restore emotional well-being.

  • Trauma can arise from a variety of experiences, and its symptoms often include flashbacks, emotional numbness, avoidance behaviors, and hypervigilance. I provide a safe space to process these experiences and develop tools to regain emotional balance, control, and safety.

  • Chronic stress can affect physical health and emotional well-being, leading to burnout and fatigue. I help clients identify stressors, set boundaries, and develop healthy coping mechanisms.

  • Low self-esteem may manifest as negative self-talk, self-doubt, or fear of failure. I guide clients in building self-acceptance and confidence through practical tools and self-compassion.

  • Major changes—such as relocation, career shifts, or becoming a parent—can bring uncertainty and stress. I support clients in navigating these transitions and creating meaningful adjustments.

Relationships & Identity

  • Divorce can involve emotional distress, identity shifts, and co-parenting challenges. I assist clients in processing their emotions and navigating the practical and emotional aspects of separation.

  • Family disagreements may arise from unmet expectations, communication breakdowns, or unresolved trauma. I help families restore trust and develop effective ways of resolving conflicts.

  • Experiencing infertility can trigger feelings of grief, shame, and frustration. I support individuals and couples by addressing the emotional impact and exploring coping strategies.

  • Betrayal can cause deep emotional wounds and trust issues. I guide couples through the healing process, helping them decide whether to rebuild trust or part ways with clarity.

  • Men often face unique challenges related to societal expectations, emotional expression, and mental health. I provide a supportive space for men to explore their concerns and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

  • Parenting struggles may involve discipline issues, communication challenges, or co-parenting conflicts. I help parents build stronger relationships with their children and develop effective parenting strategies.

  • Difficulty in forming or maintaining relationships can lead to loneliness and self-doubt. I assist clients in improving social skills, setting boundaries, and building meaningful connections.

  • Navigating racial identity can involve experiences of discrimination, marginalization, and cultural conflict. I provide a safe space for clients to explore their identity and process related challenges.

  • Sexual addiction can cause emotional distress and impact relationships. I work with clients to understand underlying issues, develop healthy coping skills, and rebuild trust with partners.

  • Clients exploring spirituality may experience questions of purpose, faith, or existential concerns. I help individuals integrate spirituality into their lives in a way that aligns with their personal values.
