I work with adults, adolescents (12+), families, and couples in Pasadena and across California.

Each session is personalized to meet your unique needs. I integrate elements from these modalities:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — focuses on tangible skills and actions to help you feel better now

• Psychodynamic Therapy — digs deep into your life history to uncover the root of what’s holding you back

• Parts Work — helps you understand and integrate the various parts of yourself, including different ages or aspects of your personality

• Mindfulness — invites you to stay present and observe your experiences without judgment

Neuropsychology works in conjunction with psychotherapy to explore how your brain affects your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This allows us to create targeted strategies to support your mental health. 

In neuropsychology sessions, we might use one of these tools:

NeuroChek — a tool that uses your voice to provide a quick, non-invasive brain and stress assessment

BrainTap — a tool that that uses light, sound, and guided meditation to calm your brain and alleviate stress, sleep issues, and mental fatigue

ShiftWave — a therapeutic chair that uses gentle pressure and rhythmic pulses to relax your body and regulate your nervous system

Alpha-Stim — a device that uses a gentle electrical current to  reduce anxiety, depression, and insomnia

Mindfulness — the simple practice of being present. As a certified mindfulness teacher, I’ll teach you how to gently bring awareness to your thoughts and emotions, leading to less stress and more calm in everyday life.

I provide services in my Pasadena office, as well as online for people located across California.

My standard fees for individual and couples psychotherapy are:

• 45-minute individual session: $250

• 60-minute couples or family session: $330

Fees are collected via credit card payment at the time of each session.

I may be able to offer a sliding scale fee structure to those who need it. I reserve a limited number of spaces in my practice for reduced fee sessions to accommodate those who are in need of help and are experiencing financial hardship.

If you are interested in entering psychotherapy but feel the cost is prohibitive, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I am happy to discuss a flexible fee with you or, if my sliding scale availability is full, refer you to another competent professional who may be able to accommodate a reduced rate.

I am considered an ‘out-of-network provider’ for most insurance plans. This means I am not contracted with insurance companies; however, session fees may be covered in-full or in-part by your heath insurance or employee benefit plans.

This process involves me providing you with receipts (called ‘superbills’) for our appointments. You can then submit these superbills to your insurer for reimbursement, if they accept superbills. Check with your insurer to verify that your health plan covers ‘out-of-network’ behavioral health services.
