Counseling in East Pasadena, CA. Find the Right Therapist.

I believe the "fit", or connection, is crucial for successful therapy. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental setting which fosters clarity and insight and creates the conditions for growth and healing. I use a flexible interpersonal and developmental approach.

At Aspire Therapy, we strive to help you to be your best self. We recognize the power of accomplishment, the need for support and time for reflection and planning to follow your dreams.

My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental place where I can help my client’s reach their full potential by processing feelings (past and present issues), improving communication, and exploring family issues. I use CBT, EMDR and other approaches to help clients.

I love working with people and helping them grow, overcome obstacles, and discover themselves. I am here to help you with whatever you are struggling with - to help you feel better and be more settled and in control of your life and your future.

My psychotherapeutic approach in working with clients is strength-based and solution-oriented. I work closely with you, collaborating and building a personal connection while supporting your strengths and highlighting areas of growth.

CREATE THE LIFE YOU WANT. Your life’s not working the way you'd like? Find out why and change it. - Struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, gay/lesbian/bisexual issues, addictions (substances or behaviors)? These are some of the special areas where I can help.

We get it – trauma can be stubborn, affecting everything from our body to our relationships. Refuse to let the haunting of your past control your present or dictate your future. Let's kickstart your journey to healing and growth, one defiant and sassy step at a time!

At the core of psychotherapy is your story. Your experiences, emotions, and thoughts will be the guiding compass of our sessions.

Therapy is a great way to practice Self-Care, doing something beneficial for you and your overall health. In therapy you have the opportunity to address challenges and struggles while learning effective coping skills in a non-judging environment that promotes growth.

Are you ready to make changes that will have a BIG impact on your life? We can work together to set you on a journey to a healthier and revitalized self.

Welcome. I offer a collaborative, genuine, and safe emotional space in which clients feel comfortable addressing difficult circumstances and deep hurts. Together, we explore and discover inner paths to a thriving life. We’re a team and I make availability a priority.

I work with a community of therapists committed to the understanding and transformation of emotional life. It is our goal to help people engage in this process through dialogue that is direct and authentic. If not me, I can direct you to one of my colleagues.
