Female Therapists in La Crescenta, CA

I specialize in working with clients who struggle with ADHD, anxiety, and depression. Many individuals come to therapy with concerns about how these challenges have shaped their identity. My approach to treatment is non-judgmental, focused on creating a safe space and enhancing clients' lives. I am committed to building a strong therapeutic alliance, guiding clients through their transformative process, and exploring deeper aspects of the self. While I primarily work with adults, my goal is to help clients develop emotional tools that improve their relationships—with themselves, others, and in the workplace.

I approach therapy with authenticity, depth, and compassion. Everyone is unique, and there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach. Although the symptoms may look similar for a group of people, the diverse background, circumstances, and perspectives of those individuals are likely to require different treatment approaches. I attentively, non-judgmentally, and respectfully collaborate with each client to examine the root cause of certain behavior and thought processes. By exploring their unconscious thoughts and feelings, I am able to facilitate awareness of established relationship patterns and the impact on their day-to-day interactions

The challenges that we inevitably face in our lives, while frustrating and overwhelming, provide us with opportunities to gain insight into patterns that at one time helped us and are now contributing to our distress. I believe that these patterns not only impact the decisions we make in various avenues of life, but our perspective of the things that are happening to us and around us. Growth starts from developing a deeper awareness of these patterns.

Sometimes, that means helping to identify a subtle, indecipherable trauma. Sometimes that means, tackling unspeakably horrific violence you survived. Sometimes that means, working together with the two of you together for communication skills. Because -
