Gestalt Therapists in Pasadena, CA
I have always been inquisitive by nature, and in particular, fascinated by the study of human behavior. Why do we do the things we do? What influences our thoughts and behaviors on both individualistic and collective levels? For me, being a therapist is like putting together the pieces of a puzzle, understanding how the pieces fit together and why. As a psychotherapist, I am of the belief that a strong therapeutic alliance, the human connection between therapist and client, and the sanctity of the space it creates, are integral to facilitating healing and growth throughout the therapeutic process.

We are constantly in relationship–to ourselves and our bodies, to one another, to our many identities, to the contexts and systems we exist within–and issues in our lives arise as a result of these nuanced relationships, not because something within us is "broken" or "wrong.” My work focuses on being curious about, exploring and renegotiating these relationships to help clients discover their most authentic selves.

I believe that we all have an innate healing power within us, and that developing a safe and caring relationship with a therapist can be a wonderful means toward enlivening this power. By going within, we can discover the agency to overcome any obstacle and can bring into being a renewed sense of hope, purpose, and a life of fulfillment. I come from a holistic, humanistic, and mindfulness/spiritually-oriented tradition who believe that a therapist is only as skilled as they are evolved, or self-actualized themselves. I specialize in trauma, dissociation, & complex post traumatic stress disorder.

Don’t recognize yourself in the mirror? Feeling out of integrity with who you really are? Struggling to come into your identity with confidence? Isolated and hopeless, or lost in your relationships? I deeply understand how painful these challenges are, and how awful it is to be misunderstood. As a queer, sober woman I've worked through many of these challenges myself. This is why I specialize in working with young adults, adolescents and couples. My goal as a transpersonal counselor is to guide you toward self-realization and freedom from the weight of your past, expanding beyond the traditional western framework of therapy.

Do you feel ready to process these experiences so you can be more present in your life now? Reflecting on how our experiences have impacted ourselves, our relationships, and our life choices takes great courage and I commend you for starting this journey.

I approach therapy from a trauma-informed, client-centered lens focused on empathy and compassion to support the creation of long-term, effective changes. I strive to equip my clients with the hope that it is normal to feel any and every kind of emotion but also give them tools to cope effectively and learn from those emotions. My goal is to provide a trusting environment to uncover those human emotions, find what works or does not work, and collaborate to reach new and healthier goals for life.

Life is tough and seeking help at any point helps you become the hero of your story. I've worked with clients dealing with everyday stress, milestones, traumas, and losses. One of the most amazing things I witness are people who want to bring positive changes into their lives and are willing to set aside time to work on themselves and their growth and often find they can improve their lives in ways that surpass expectations.

Whether it’s changing careers, navigating a breakup, adjusting to single life after divorce, relocating, stepping into an unwanted role, aging, facing changes in your body, dealing with new social expectations, or confronting grief and loss, these experiences can stir a maelstrom of emotions—loss of identity, anxiety, and a sense of purposelessness.
