Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Pasadena, CA. My telehealth services are available for California residents.  

My Treatment Approach

My treatment approach is grounded in the principles of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and is focused on helping people succeed at school, work, and home to achieve their short and long-term goals. CBT focuses on an individual's thoughts, behaviors and feelings and works to re-organize thinking patterns that may interfere with emotional and behavioral health. My focus is primarily on helping people build the lives they desire in the present and future, rather than focusing too heavily on the past. During the therapeutic process I work collaboratively with clients to assess their needs, build on strengths, and foster strong relationships. I also offer support for parents and families who may be struggling. 

 

Therapy may be of great benefit not only to help you through a difficult time, but also to help build the life you truly desire. I am committed to providing a trusting, safe, and confidential environment in our work together. I understand it may be scary to reach out for help, and my hope is to make the first step as easy as possible. While my credentials are established and well respected, I am most often appreciated for my casual, warm personality and my inviting and comfortable private practice work space. I am also valued for my ability to connect with teens or adults who have tried other therapists, but have not felt a strong connection to the therapist or have not been able to achieve their treatment goals.
