Family Therapy in Pasadena, CA
I don't know what brings you, but I know that it can take a lot of courage to reach out for support. Therapy is a powerful statement to yourself that you, your relationship and your family matters. The heart of my work revolves around assisting you in the journey of your choosing. Often I am supporting people who are interested in uncovering and unlearning painful negative beliefs about themselves. So often we have internalized a harmful message early in life -I'm bad. I'm not good enough. My needs don't matter. Together we can process the events that led to those beliefs and find the self-love and compassion to heal.

Family Therapy: Special Training in Bowen Family Systems/Nonlinear Dynamic Systems Theory, Family Systems Design.
The most fascinating and important part of my job as a therapist is how to have a really good conversation. It may sound too simple, but it cuts to the heart of what to expect from therapy. Through good conversation, you experience connection and understanding. When we are understood, difficult feelings change with resulting freedoms to engage life. Trained both as a Marriage and Family therapist and a psychoanalyst, I work with complex relationship issues, divorce and blended families, depression, anxiety, addictions, men's issues, and sexual trauma recovery, and integration of psychology and faith/spirituality.

My work and life experience repeatedly show me that we long for growth and life giving connections. Yet our behavior patterns, expectations, unmet needs, family dynamics, and coping skills (to name a few) seem to keep us stuck. You don’t need to figure this out on your own.
