Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in Pasadena, CA

I truly admire those willing to embark on the courageous journey towards transformation, and I am honored to stand beside them in their quest for happier, more productive and successful lives. I understand individuals can experience pain associated with tremendous fear and shame that often prevents them from living healthy and authentic lives. I facilitate a nurturing environment for individuals, couples and adolescents seeking to explore and understand themselves more fully through reflection and attunement.

Are you dealing memory concerns as you age? Experiencing anxiety about the possibility that memory problems could lead to dementia? Do you want to have a clearer picture of what the memory issues mean and to be provided with specific helpful suggestions in a non-judgmental and caring environment. My style is relaxed but engaging in order to make each assessment or therapy session a meaningful experience. I bring to each meeting a perspective that is shaped not only by my education and training but also by a wide variety of experiences over seven decades of life.

Rarely does life provide easy answers. If you find yourself wondering about how to move forward and live a fulfilling and meaningful life, it is my aim to help facilitate that wrestling process. I believe that anyone can learn how to ask themselves good questions, to understand themselves at a deeper level, and change their behaviors to be more in line with their true values and goals. Working in multiple settings across many different states has deepened my appreciation for the diversity of experiences that make our lives beautiful and that can also leave us wounded.

These are challenging and chaotic times that can lead to feelings of uncertainty, loneliness, and anxiety. I create a space that is warm, compassionate, and empathetic so you don't have to deal with these emotions alone. I love to work with young adults (20s-40s) experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship difficulties (whether you're partnered or trying to date in the 21st century), grief, life transitions, and issues related to spirituality. I especially enjoy working with therapists in training (trainees or associates) and single people who are wanting to gain more dating experience.

Everyone can benefit from hypnosis. Whether you need to beat a habit, reduce anxiety or start performing at your best, Hypnotic Healing can help. Having studied a variety of Hypnotherapy, NLP, EFT, and Transformational Life Coaching methods, I will have you seeing major improvements in no time.

Is anxiety, depression, or trauma holding you back from being your true self? Do you feel stuck in managing difficult life transitions? Now, every little thing becomes super overwhelming. Those negative experiences reopen old wounds and cause new ones. You tried burying your pain hoping it would go away. You feel lonely and tormented. You feel exhausted, stressed, and angry all the time. You wonder how much more you can take. You are unsure of who or where to turn for help. In the midst of this painful journey, you do not have to go through it alone.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My primary approach to therapy is integrative and client-centered. It is my strong belief that a therapeutic relationship can lead to insights and change. I encourage a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental, and empathetic environment where we can work together to help develop coping skills to allow you to overcome the obstacles in your life.

Sometimes life is just too hard. There's confusion and hurt around school, work, relationships, this crazy new world of which we're all trying to make sense. But there's good news too! You are not meant to do this alone. It is my true privilege to be able to walk alongside my clients, helping share the weight of their burdens. Together we will create a place of peace and trust, a relationship full of compassion and encouragement and without judgment (and we'll likely have some laughs together as well!). From there we will work together to find new ways to grow and learn and manage the things that make life hard.

My work focuses on analyzing the relationship with the unconscious and conscious mind within each client. I utilize a blend of therapeutic techniques that include inner child healing and reparenting in order to integrates all the parts of self. I am committed to a life-long journey of increased compassion for self and others and invite clients to do the same.

Nobody’s childhood dream was to grow up and feel overwhelmed, alone, stuck or unworthy. I aim to help individuals heal from trauma-related issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship/family issues. If you find yourself living without a navigation system to understand emotional terrain or trauma that impacts your well-being; you are not alone. All of us go through rough patches in our lives. My approach is specific to meet your unique needs in a safe and non-judgemental space.

In all phases of life, we face constant change and unexpected circumstances. Even for those who are strongly independent and resilient, life can be overwhelming at times. Therapy can be a space to explore the parts of life that feel uncertain and unmanageable, and identify where you want to go from here. Building the foundation for growth in therapy starts by creating a safe, genuine space where people can feel heard, understood, and valued for the person they are. I believe that people can foster long-term growth through understanding their journey, connecting with their true emotions, and empowering choice with authenticity.

Are you anxious about your health or visits to the doctor? Trying to cope with your health condition? Learning and exploring your racial, ethnic. and/or cultural identity? Considering or in the process of freezing your eggs and/or becoming a solo parent by choice? I’m here to help. Whether you are a teen, adult, or older adult, I will work with you to develop skills, find your new normal, and/or identify and move toward goals that align with your values.

While I am confident in my general work around anxiety, depression, and trauma, I have a specific interest in working with faith-related concerns (as a Christian therapist, your faith is in safe hands!), OCD, history of addiction whether personal or familial, grief and loss issues, and those that might identify having a disordered relationship with their body. I am also certified in integrative somatic trauma therapy and can provide body-based practices in our work as well. You do not have to navigate the stresses of life alone, nor should you have to.

Welcome in. My belief in therapy is simple. Let’s get to the root of things. I emphasize creating a trusting relationship between myself and my clients. From this place, we will explore the deeper layers of who you are, spanning your entire life, and connecting past experiences to present-day challenges and concerns. We can work together with navigating anxiety, depression, phase of life challenges, grief and loss, relationship dynamics, self-esteem, and questions with identity, career, and spirituality.

I love getting to know someone on a deeper level. I love working collaboratively with my clients to help them live more meaningful and enriched lives. I work with individuals, couples, children, and families. I help individuals heal and connect with themselves to find or continue passionately about their purpose. I establish coping skills and positive ways to help and reconnect to establish a solid and secure sense of self.

Anyone who is struggling with personal and relational pain, including those who have experienced trauma, relational distress, depression, anxiety or anything else that has inhibited a sense of thriving in their life.

As your therapist, I will meet you where you are at. I consider your strengths and history to help you attain your goals or your desired outcome for therapy.

I work with individuals to better communication skills, assertiveness skills, and empowerment for self-esteem building.

I take a supportive, collaborative, and solution-focused approach to psychotherapy that uses effective and evidence-based treatments to help my clients change their current relationships with difficult thoughts and feelings. Together, we will work on identifying and freeing you from the ineffective patterns that have been keeping you stuck while you actively take steps towards a more meaningful life.
