Insight is powerful. Integration is transformative.

Healing is a journey. You don’t have to walk this path alone.

Pasadena-based therapy for thoughtful, high-functioning adults and relationships who feel stuck in patterns they can’t think their way out of

“What we run from pursues us. What we face transforms us.”

– David Kessler –

I'm so glad you're here.

I’m Chloé (she/her), a Pasadena therapist (LMFT), proud cat mom, long-walk enthusiast, and someone who cares deeply about creating a space where you can breathe and not have to hold everything together alone.

You might:

  • be highly capable in your work, yet feel unsettled or disconnected inside
  • cope by pushing through, overthinking, or staying strong for everyone else
  • feel anxious, reactive, or distant in relationships that matter most to you
  • notice old wounds resurfacing in everyday moments
  • want deeper connection, but not know how to create it safely

I specialize in work with individuals, couples, and families navigating the impact of trauma and dissociation, challenges in relationships, binge eating, and feeling stuck. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in nervous-system care, integrating parts-based models, EMDR, and Emotionally Focused Therapy while staying attuned to pacing, safety, and the systems that shape our lives.

You deserve a space where you can show up fully, move at your own speed, and feel genuinely supported, and I take that role seriously.

Do you notice that your mind understands why you feel the way you do, but your body and feelings haven’t caught up?

Maybe you’re outwardly high-functioning and have good insight about your life story, but behind the scenes, you’re still feeling stuck in overwhelming emotions, checked out, or repeating negative relationship patterns. Or maybe you feel like your childhood and life have been “fine” so it’s confusing why you struggle on the inside at all!

These experiences can feel uncomfortable and like what I call a “mismatch.” This is the perfect place to start therapy. Together, we can help your mind, body, and emotions discover a more integrated experience.

Specializing in Trauma Healing & Attachment Dynamics for High Achievers

I believe that many of the “symptoms” clients experience can be traced back to disruptions in their experience of safety (emotional and/or physical) and connection, and that these daily challenges probably make a whole lot of sense in the context of what they’ve had to do to survive throughout their lives.

I provide a collaborative healing space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to explore your experiences and move toward healing.

Individual, Couples, and Family Therapy in Pasadena, CA

I work with people who often feel like they’re “holding it all together” on the outside while struggling inside, including but not limited to, high achievers, trauma survivors, chronic dieters, and those with complicated relationship histories.

You may be carrying so much on your own, and you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, explore your inner world and relationships with the safety of a trusted professional, and reconnect with all parts of yourself so you can show up in the world the way you want with more ease and less effort.

I’m happy to offer folks a 15- to 20-minute consultation phone or video call as a low-pressure chance to answer questions and see if we’re a good fit.

Connection Spaces for Therapists & Trainees

I facilitate social and reflective gatherings for therapists, as well as consultation groups for clinicians who want a thoughtful, relational space to bring cases, questions, and the parts of this work that don’t always fit neatly into supervision. I also offer individual consultation for pre-licensed therapists navigating training, identity development as a clinician, and the emotional realities of early practice. You’re not in this alone.
