Perhaps you have reached a point in your life in which something has to change; the sadness, anger, confusion or depression have become too great a burden to carry. Perhaps you have been a victim of profound brokenness and long for healing and a brighter future. Or perhaps you desperately want to be a good parent, but it seems like everything you have tried hasn't worked. If this is you, I would be honored to come alongside you and offer my assistance. It takes wisdom to recognize when a problem exists and courage to do something about it. As your therapist, you honor me by sharing your life with me. I will bring the best that I know from my study and experience. I will actively listen to your concerns, offer real solutions and provide relevant feedback. I will always have compassion and empathy for you in all that we do. I value you as a person in need of respect and care and will always treat you with highest dignity.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Psychiatric Technician, and Masters level Addictions Counselor in Pasadena, California. Since 1984, I’ve been providing mental health services for adults and adolescents in both inpatient and/or outpatient settings. As such, I have a varied experience with abuse, trauma, depression, grief/loss, issues of personal growth, relationships, stress, and mental illness. During that time I have also worked extensively with addictions (of all types) and related issues (“co-dependency”, eating disorders, alcoholism, dual diagnosis…). My responsibilities have ranged from Licensed Psychiatric Technician (where much of my experience in mental health and medications comes from), to Program Director. Currently I am in private practice, life coaching, teaching, providing clinical supervision to prelicensed therapists, providing some staff training and consultation.

Narrative Counseling Center offers psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families. We provide Couples Therapy to partners seeking resourceful tools and skills, collaborative conversations and new ways of listening and being heard. Our services include Co-therapy and LGBT counseling. We also offer fees on a sliding scale.

OVERVIEW Together we look at your life to see what works, what doesn’t, and why. We’ll see who you are, the relationships you’re in, and what stops you from having the life you want. We’ll see how you act, think, feel, and relate to others today and how those have been affected by your life experiences. We’ll work to change things so your life does work for you. TRAUMA You may feel anxious, depressed, or alienated. Here you can feel safe, talk honestly about what happened and about how it still affects you, even when other people don't understand or can't stand to hear it any more. I help you understand why you’re reacting as you do, even when you may feel out of control or a little "crazy." You'll learn ways to work through the psychological and emotional impact of what happened so you can get your life back. If you or your family member is a victim of violent crime, you may be eligible for therapy at no cost to you. ADDICTIONS (Substances and Behaviors) You might have difficulty with alcohol or drugs, or you may need help evaluating if that’s true, how great the difficulty is, or what you can do about it. You may also be asking similar questions about sexual behaviors or compulsions, porn, gambling, Internet usage, spending, eating, cutting, or anything else you do that feels questionable or out of control. Some people feel like they are addicted to another person, what sometimes is referred to as "love addiction." GAY/LESBIAN/BISEXUAL ISSUES While I work with heterosexuals, I also work with many gay, bisexual, or lesbian people, both individually and in couples. If you’re in a process of self-discovery, you’ll be the one to decide what your sexual orientation and identity is. If you’re now coming out, together we can consider if, when, how, and with whom you decide to do it. If you’re clear and comfortable with your sexual orientation, I can give you safe place where you can be open about who you and how HIV has impacted your life or your relationships MIND/BODY The mind and body are functionally identical. What you think affects how you feel, and what you feel affects how think. I work at both levels, with people who are interested in doing that. For people who aren't interested in the this work, I am happy to stay strictly in a talk-therapy mode. YOU SET THE COURSE, AND I'LL HELP YOU GET THERE.

I have had experience treating people of all ages and walks of life. The one thing I have found that ties each of us together is the innate desire to progress and better ourselves. In life there will be specific circumstances, life transitions, relationship dynamics and/or traumas that may require us to seek out support and understanding. I have dedicated my professional career in trying to do just that for my clients and their families. Therapy can be an intimidating venture, therefor I have built my profession in creating an environment that makes my clients feel comfortable and safe. I use an eclectic approach in deciding techniques and/or therapy styles to utilize in session. I have learned that therapy has to be as unique as the individuals/couples/families I treat.

Sometimes circumstances befall us in our journey through life that can leave us feeling lost or confused with various questions.

Do you question why you made certain choices in life? Are you struggling in your relationships? Are you at a crossroads in life? Do you question the meaning of life?

I see a variety of clients from ages 5 to 75. This includes people who have various life adjustment problems as well as those with personality and mood disorders. I treat children with play therapy for behavioral and other problems. Couples may require conjoint therapy for marital difficulties which may include other family members. And, of course, individual psychotherapy may be useful. I treat people who have suffered traumas caused by sexual, physical and emotional abuse which could result in depression, anxiety, social phobias, etc. I am able to assist people in overcoming self-defeating behavior which cause an inability to achieve goals in life. I use various types of therapy depending on the individual and types of problems he or she may be having. One very effective therapy technique is the utilization of inner voice dialogue with ways to conquer negative self-concepts.

Are you wondering if your online or in person sexual activity is too much? Is there a part of you that feels something has to change?

It is essential for each of us to discover our own way of being. Frequently, in therapy, people often feel frustrated because they don't feel they have the ability to change their situation. It is not always easy to face our problems or seek another's help. The daily stresses of life can build until we feel completely overwhelmed with life. Many who first come to therapy report feeling lost, alone, or depressed and many feel confusion and hopelessness about the future. These feelings are very normal yet most people feel as if they are falling apart. It is important for each of us to allow ourselves the space to reflect upon our day to day life and our future. Therapy is just that opportunity. It allows us to work through some of the most difficult struggles life can impose on us in an atmosphere of acceptance and unconditional support. Competent therapists do not offer solutions or take sides. They help clients work out solutions according to individual values and lifestyles. Seeking professional assistance is a sign of courage and a willingness to deal with life's many changes

As a licensed psychologist in private practice for more than 25 years, I have been able to offer a wide range of help to over 1000 clients in their efforts to make their professional and personal lives more satisfying, productive, and healthier. I have advanced training and experience in working with adults as well as couples and families. My training background is in the area of cognitive-behavioral theory and therapy, which serves as a guide for clients to examine how problematic thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns interact and interfere with one's life. While it is true that expressing one's feelings can be helpful, in itself this does not necessarily lead to improvement. In addition, developing insight into the origins of one's problems, although helpful, doesn't lead to significant, practical improvement. Research studies do show that clients improve more rapidly and for longer periods of time if they consistently and systematically apply targeted therapeutic strategies in their daily lives. Some of the more common therapeutic strategies I incorporate into treatment include strategies to learn to: ---respond to negative, self-defeating thoughts with alternative, more positive and practical ideas; ---breakdown overwhelming problems into manageable ones, prioritizing them, and learning to make decisions about what to do first; ---conquer fear by actually doing things you've been afraid of trying; ---assert yourself in a variety of professional and personal situations (learning to say no appropriately; learning to ask effectively for what you want); ---improve one's social effectiveness (talking in front of groups of people); ---manage skills of intimacy that allow trust as well as boundary setting to be valued and established. Specific treatment problem areas include: Anxiety & Panic Disorders Assertiveness Deficits Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) Bipolar or Manic Depression Depression Grief and Loss Issues Marital or Relationship problems Insomnia Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Parenting difficulties Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Schizophrenia Self-Esteem Issues Clinical services are available by appointment to adults 18 years or older. I am on most insurance panels for mental health including: Aetna; Blue Cross/Blue Shield; Cigna; Great-West; Magellan; Managed Health Network; Medicare; Pacificare PPO; Private Health Care Systems; United Behavioral Health.

Often psychotherapy is thought of as admitting failure - that you are unable to work out your own problems or just for crazy people. We are never taught the skills we need in relationships, how to process feelings about past events or make changes in our lives that will get us beyond a frustrating situation. Life and psychotherapy are processes. I feel that therapy is a process through which healing occurs and we discover meaning and purpose through which we become who we potentially are. There is no one right answer, there is only your answer that therapy can help you to discover. As a therapist I believe that deep inside every being is an innate wise core Self that can help one reach our potential. But often we are too distracted by our external environment to hear the voice of the Self or the Soul. In therapy it is important to address the whole person. I look for the potential in each person and help him or her to see it in as a beacon toward which to grow. Changing behavior is important, but I believe that change comes from the inside out. We need to believe in ourselves, our potential and find meaning and purpose in life that motivates us toward greater awareness, greater participation in life and greater appreciation of the opportunity life offers us for growth and fulfillment. I feel it is important to integrate spiritual beliefs into everyday life so that we act in relationships in a way that is consistent with what we believe and that we live our lives by the philosophy of our souls. This is important to our happiness and health and when we nurture our souls we contribute to the well being of family, friends, the workplace, society and our planet. Trauma, abuse and violence where trust and safety have been violated affect one’s ability to have and sustain relationships that are satisfying and nurturing. I work with victims of crime and abuse that is physical, sexual, verbal and emotional. This includes trauma recovery and healing. I also work with serious illness, death and dying and grief and bereavement. I work with all ages and address relationship problems within families, couples and groups in therapy. I have specialized experience, knowledge and training in “Spiritual Emergence / Emergency” in its many forms. I have a Transpersonal theoretical orientation, and work with creativity, intuition and spiritual experiences. I have training and knowledge in hypnosis, spirituality, parapsychology, consciousness, dreams, meditation, relaxation and visualization and Psychoneuroimmunology.

“"Have you been feeling sad, unappreciated and frustrated? Do you wake up feeling empty, misunderstood, and confused? Have your relationships been a source of anger, agitation and irritation? Has it been difficult to communicate your thoughts and feelings with your loved ones? If so, now is the time to seek professional guidance. I am a special kind of counselor who listens with her heart.I treat children age 3 onwards who have signs of sadness, anger, frustration, and aggression. I offer sessions for teens who are engaged in a power struggle with their caregivers/parents, who show signs of confusion, frustration, and have inadequate coping skills. I am available for couples and families who seek to experience a sense of joy, clarity, and fulfillment in their relationships. I am available for late night sessions and available one Saturday each month.I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal, grow and reach their happiness potential.

The Place Within offers skillful, affordable counseling and psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families. At The Place Within, we believe that each person is gifted with the inner inclination, innate wisdom and natural ability for solving their own problems and creating more love, joy and satisfaction in their lives. However, everyone feels unsatisfied, unhappy, even lost at various times. We all face crisis of one type or another. While we can often move through these difficult times on our own, many of us find qualified, caring assistance and coaching helpful, perhaps even necessary, as an aid in wisely and courageously accessing our latent qualities and moving our one precious life toward what we are meant to be.

Are you ready to understand, heal, change or stop doing the same old things? If so, I'm here to help. If you have suffered a recent loss, are currently in a life transition or just ready to move on and experience life differently - I am ready to help you achive those goals. Let's face it, we live in a fast paced and sometimes complicated world. It's easy to loose sight of what is important. We have less time to pause and reflect. Our relationships with ourselves and others are being impacted. Therapy is time for you to stop and consider what is actually happening in your life so you can make consious choices about who you are, what you value and the direction you want to move.

I believe that seeking professional help is a strength and not a weakness. I value individuals for who they are, and I appreciate their pain and struggle. I make every effort to understand my client's needs, and I make it a priority to meet with my clients at their starting point. Along the way, I do my best to provide my clients with safe and healthy environment. I have been extensively involved in conducting therapy with children, adolescents, couples, and families from divers populations in two languages, English and Arabic. I have gained my experience working in the United States and Egypt, using psychodynamic, family systems, and cognitive behavioral therapies. My Clients come from a wide variety of ethnicities and backgrounds. I work cooperatively with doctors, teachers, social workers and others to best serve my clients. My ultimate goal is for my clients to reach self-growth and experience a better life.

As a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist I strive to adapt each session to the needs of each individual... their own specific needs and desired outcomes. Trained in many different modalities, e.g. Cognitive Behavior, Bowen, Jung, etc. , I draw from theorists that I feel will accomplish the task of what is needed for the individual or couple. It seems rare to me that use of only one theory is the only way to achieve results. I have been a Registered Nurse for over twenty years and feel that the medical knowledge I have achieved compliments the Psychological knowledge that I have gained through training and through my practice. Life experiences play such an important role in our dealing with others. To know and understand what others haved endured or are currently enduring is very empowering. I know what it feels like to experience problems with children, relationships, families, careers...and therefore can share with others the trials they are experiencing. The good thing is that with proper counseling, empathy and caring, things do work out...what ever the result are. Time and working through those areas that hinder our wel-lbeing with a counselor who will give guidance and support are important ways to overcome problems.

Relationships are essential to our overall health and well-being. Good connections develop and strengthen us, and are a source of encouragement and resilience in the face of life's difficulties and setbacks. Difficult connections are painful and can impair and even immobilize us. So it's important to attend to how we interact with others and find ways to improve the quality of our relational life. I focus on finding ways of developing healthier and more satisfying relationships with the significant people in your life. Whether it’s your spouse, partner, friend, co-worker, or a family member, they matter. Difficulty in any one of them can lead to anxiety, depression, or just feeling stuck and confused. The solutions include understanding and improving your attachment style, personal boundaries, and developing skills for more effective communication, conflict resolution and problem solving. My approach integrates the psychological, relational, and spiritual dimensions of life that leads to making good choices for self-care and healthy connections.

Life is often filled with challenges which affect each of us in different ways. I believe that how we approach and overcome those challenges, help to shape us and allow us to experience life to the fullest. I began my Marriage and Family Psychotherapy practice here in Glendora out of a desire to use my life experience, education, and passion to help serve the health needs of our community and the surrounding cities. Through my experience in a variety of settings, I have discovered that building a supportive relationship through therapy creates a safe place to explore life struggles, understand difficult issues, learn new skills, enrich relationships, and work through situations in order to lead a more authentic life. Creating a safe and supportive environment, where you can feel comfortable, is essential to my practice. In that setting, we can collaborate on how best to understand your situation, identify your goals, and find solutions. I bring a varied theoretical approach, centered on forms of therapy including psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral, brief/solution focused, and ensuring sensitivity to cultural diversity. My services include counseling individuals, families, couples and groups. • Eating Disorder Recovery and Body Image • Relationships • Anxiety • Depression • Premarital • Grief & Loss/ • Parenting • War Veterans and Family • Counseling for Men • Endometriosis, Interstitial Cystitis, Infertility • Older Adults • Group therapy: Ongoing Eating Disorder Recovery and Body Image Group
