Feel grounded again, even when life feels like too much.
You can be thoughtful, capable, and deeply self-aware—and still feel exhausted, anxious, or stuck. I offer warm, collaborative therapy for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, and the pressure to keep going.
You can be doing well on the outside and still feel exhausted inside.
Understanding What Lies Beneath
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and used to handling a lot. From the outside, things may look fine. Internally, there can be constant worry, pressure, overthinking, tension, or the feeling that you should be able to handle everything on your own.
Slowing The Cycle Down
Therapy can be a place to slow that cycle down. Together, we can understand what is happening beneath the surface, make room for difficult experiences, and develop ways of living that feel more sustainable.
Therapy is not about becoming someone else.
Together, we look at the patterns that have helped you survive, the experiences that shaped you, and the ways they may still be affecting your relationships, confidence, sense of safety, or ability to slow down.
Clients frequently come to me feeling “functional” on the outside while quietly struggling with constant worry, tension in their body, difficulty sleeping, or a sense that they're always bracing for something to go wrong.
Understanding both the emotional and physiological sides of your experience.
When stress or earlier experiences linger, they affect both thought patterns and physical sensations—showing up as racing thoughts, chronic tension, difficulty feeling at ease, or feeling disconnected after years of pushing through.
Understanding both the emotional and physiological sides of your experience creates space for something different, helping you develop insight, resilience, and a stronger relationship with yourself over time.
Who I work with
I work with thoughtful, capable adults in Santa Monica and across California navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, and the pressure to keep going.
Anxiety & Overwhelm
Support for adults experiencing persistent worry, panic, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, tension, or difficulty feeling at ease.
High Achievers & Perfectionists
For professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives who are used to pushing through—but are finding that constant pressure is no longer sustainable.
Trauma & Life Experiences
Support for people working through single-incident trauma or longer-standing patterns shaped by childhood, relationships, or chronic stress.
You don't have to understand everything before you ask for support.
Your story deserves space to be heard, understood, and worked through at a pace that feels safe.
My areas of expertise
Therapy is focused on understanding both emotional and physiological patterns, helping you slow down, make room for difficult experiences, and build lasting resilience.
Therapy should feel collaborative, not like something being done to you.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded. Sessions are structured enough to provide support and direction, while leaving room to slow down, reflect, and explore what is underneath the surface.
Depending on what you need, I integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, mindfulness-based practices, and body-oriented techniques to help you understand both the emotional and physiological sides of your experience.
Understanding where you've been can help shape where you're headed.
We look at the experiences and patterns that shaped you, while creating room to let down your guard and develop more sustainable ways of living.

Find support that feels like the right fit.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. You don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out. A consultation is an opportunity to talk about what you're experiencing, ask questions, and see whether working together feels right.
