My Story

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in South Pasadena, and my work is rooted in resilience and reinvention. My path to becoming a therapist wasn’t linear. It grew out of my own experience navigating heartbreak, depression, and a profound life transition.

With the support of compassionate care, I found healing—and a new direction. In midlife, I returned to graduate school, transforming a season of survival into a calling to help others move through their own challenges with strength and clarity.

​

As a mother of three adult children and a grandmother, I understand the complexity of life transitions. Today, I combine evidence-based therapy with warmth and empathy, creating a space where you can feel supported, understood, and empowered to grow.
