“The greatest gift you can give someone is the space to be their authentic self.”

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

My Approach

I’ve always felt a deep calling to help and support others. I find nothing more rewarding than helping someone make a life-changing breakthrough.

That feeling is what led me to become a therapist. I help clients begin to heal, find connection or clarity, and take a step closer to the life they want. Therapy is more than just overcoming struggles; it’s about curiosity, personal growth, emotional well-being, and building resilience for lasting change.

I often think of Fred Rogers’ words: “In times of crisis, look for the helpers.” That’s where I feel I belong. My mission is to provide a safe, supportive space where people can navigate life’s challenges, strengthen their mental health, and thrive.

I use a compassionate, trauma-informed, person-centered approach that strives to see the humanity in every client. I strive to help people understand and reframe the challenges they may be facing and help them define a new way to see themselves and their lives.

Helping others heal isn’t just my profession—it’s who I am. If you’re ready to take the next step in your journey, let’s connect. I’d love to help you find clarity, confidence, and the tools to move forward.

My Background

I grew up in a tiny town in Minnesota and spent 25 years working as a professional film and television actor and acting teacher in Los Angeles. After the pandemic, I discovered a drive to do something that would make the world a better place, and in 2022, I began my schooling to become a therapist.

I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, working on both coasts and specializing in work with teens, men, and couples. I am trauma-informed and trained in EMDR Therapy to assist clients in processing and healing from traumatic events.

 

Therapeutic Options

I have an office in Pasadena, but I am currently seeing clients exclusively via telehealth. If you prefer working in person, let me know! I am more than happy to refer you to an excellent therapist in your area.
