Depression Therapists in South Pasadena, CA
When we are exposed to trauma at an early age, it can seriously impact how we feel about ourselves and our relationships with others. Trauma can also profoundly affect whether we feel this is a safe world and can contribute to depression, anxiety, and relational/familial issues. My practice is from a strengths-based, trauma-informed perspective with a non-judgmental framework. I aim to understand clients’ internal responses and to provide more options for emotional regulation and problem-solving.

During individual psychotherapy, we will work towards defining your goals, understanding your nervous system, learning to ground yourself when emotionally triggered, and how your internalized scripts keep you stuck, depressed and anxious.
Evolutionary psychology, neurobiology, Buddhist Psychology, Somatic or body-centered work and the emerging field of psychedelic therapy are profoundly changing our view of the human experience. We are learning that our individual selves are far less determined than they are emergent.

I help people with emotional pain, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, overthinking, isolation, existential distress, anger, career issues, trauma, heartache, people-pleasing, identity, gender, sexuality, substance use, grief, recovery, and relationship, family, and friendship struggles.
There are good reasons to look for support right now. Maybe you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or have a desire to know yourself better. Sometimes, it's possible to figure things out on your own, and sometimes, it takes the help of another. We will talk together, finding a rhythm and shared language. This is an important place to start. From there it becomes possible to think about the issues that are impacting you, in a process of reflection and uncovering which looks a little different for everyone.

The human spirit has an amazing capacity for resilience, but sometimes it's too hard to access it on your own. When we encounter challenges and problems in relationships, in our workplaces, in our families, we can feel overwhelmed, hopeless, & stuck. It's not uncommon to feel depressed or anxious, or seek out unhealthy ways to function that mask the hurt. It's in situations like these that it takes great strength to reach out and ask for help--to seek someone to come alongside and enter into your experience; help shoulder the burden, and rediscover and connect with that resiliency.
