I’m a psychodynamic psychotherapist with 14 years of clinical experience, an EMDR practitioner, an ISTDP therapist, a clinical supervisor, and the founder of Rae Therapy Group. My vision for Rae Therapy Group began with a desire to create an affirming space for depth-oriented therapists committed to doing deeper, more meaningful work in Pasadena, Northeast Los Angeles, and surrounding California communities.

I provide trauma-informed, culturally sensitive care to individuals and couples across a wide range of identities and life experiences. I have expertise in supporting clients navigating the demands of the entertainment industry, as well as challenges related to relationships, sexuality, identity, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, creative blocks, codependency, love addiction, chronic pain and illness, infertility, queer family planning, parenting, intimacy, and self-worth.

I approach my work with attunement, curiosity, warmth, intuition, and sometimes humor, while offering thoughtful challenge to foster growth. Paying close attention to both what is spoken and unspoken, and attuning to the subtle somatic cues held within your body, we caringly and safely move beneath defenses, allowing deeper emotional experiences to emerge at a pace that honors you and your goals. My work is rooted in the belief that transformation unfolds not only through insight but through the profound healing and reparative nature of a strong and genuine therapeutic relationship.

It is my greatest honor to be trusted to see and hold all parts of you.
