Therapists in Pasadena, CA
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 hindered by anxiety, depression, or trauma, preventing you from expressing your authentic self? Do you find yourself trapped in navigating challenging family and relationship situations? Every minor issue now feels incredibly overwhelming, reopening past wounds and creating new ones. Despite attempting to bury the pain, it persists, leaving you feeling isolated and tormented. The constant exhaustion, stress, and anger make you question your resilience. Unsure of where to seek assistance, you don't have to endure this painful journey by yourself. I aim to assist you in achieving a more integrated and balanced sense of self.

The process of finding a therapist can often be a daunting first step, and it can be difficult to know who to trust and who can help. A good fit with a therapist includes a feeling of safety and a belief that your therapist has the ability to help you. Clients who find themselves at home in my practice are people who experience chronic depression or anxiety, individuals with a history of family wounding, individuals with relationship or identity issues, couples with difficulty resolving arguments, teens in crisis, and those feeling stuck or in transition.

So often, people seek therapy due to immediate life circumstances. And yet, many of the challenges people face often involve larger emotional, spiritual, and existential questions. To promote meaningful change, therapy must involve exploration of both dimensions of people's experience. As we strengthen our capacity to face discomforting depths, we create space for insight, flexibility, and self-compassion. Turning our attention towards what has been in shadow, we will endeavor to bring light to what might lead to greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and meaningful change in your life.

Growing up around therapy, I loved the idea of walking with people through their difficult journeys. Life is both beautiful and challenging, and as a therapist, I help people manage the challenging parts so they can fully experience the beautiful ones. Building relationships for a living is incredibly fulfilling. I believe therapy doesn't need to feel intense, sad, or scary. I bring fun and humor into my sessions to make them lively and comfortable. I work hard to create a judgment-free space where you feel seen, heard, and not judged. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for OCD.
