About us

Complicated people who have given up on finding effective psychotherapy find emotional relief in my office. I am a clinical psychologist in Pasadena and have been in private practice for more than 25 years, providing psychological treatment to to individuals, couples & families presenting with a broad range of difficulties. I specialize in treating patients who have been successful in many areas of life, but theyre still feeling incomplete, often struggling with deeply entrenched interpersonal and behavioral patterns. You may recognize yourself in one of these descriptions:

-Youre depressed, bothered by self-critical & self-shaming thoughts that diminish your self-esteem.
-Youre anxious all the time or in social settings, unable to relax & feel safe in this world.
-Youre a couple that entangles easily, you bicker, feel injured, misunderstood, enraged, or shut down.
-Youre a super-achiever, skilled at many things, yet feeling unfulfilled, alone, or overwhelmed.
