Welcome!

I’m Jay (she/her or they/them), Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and part of Best Self Psych

Online therapy for California residents or in-person therapy at my Pasadena office

Intersectional, Trauma-Informed, Neurodiversity-Informed

I provide therapy for individuals, relationships, and families navigating all kinds of human experiences. You may feel lost, stuck, unsatisfied, down on yourself, or weighed down by stress or uncertainty. You may be confronting patterns that don’t align with who you want to be, dealing with the aftermath of a loss or major life change, seeking a more authentic connection to yourself and others, or wondering who you are at all and if anything means anything. I am here to help!
