Grounded, evidence-based therapy to help you find relief, clarity, and resilience.
Compassionate, depth-oriented therapy for high-achieving adults navigating anxiety, trauma, and burnout—in person in Santa Monica and via secure telehealth statewide.
Functional on the outside, but quietly exhausted on the inside?
Many of the people I work with are high-achieving, thoughtful, and self-aware—yet internally feel overwhelmed by constant worry, mental fatigue, or the lingering effects of earlier life experiences.
You might find yourself stuck in cycles of overthinking, carrying physical tension, struggling with sleep, or always bracing for the next shoe to drop. It’s common to feel like you have to keep pushing through, even when your mind and body are asking for relief.
Therapy provides a dedicated, confidential space to step out of high-pressure mode. Together, we’ll work collaboratively to understand the roots of what you’re experiencing, regulate your nervous system, and cultivate sustainable ways of living and working.
Specialized Therapy for Adults
Three tailored pathways designed to address emotional patterns, process past experiences, and restore inner balance.
Anxiety & Panic Therapy
Move beyond constant worry and nervous system overload.
For individuals experiencing chronic anxiety, panic attacks, physical tension, insomnia, or constant apprehension. We focus on both cognitive tools and somatic techniques to help you feel grounded and secure in daily life.
Trauma & EMDR Therapy
Heal from single-incident and complex life experiences.
Whether you are processing a specific distressing event or long-standing relational patterns from the past, our work is carefully paced. We integrate EMDR and trauma-informed care with an emphasis on safety and stabilization.
Burnout & Perfectionism
Reconnect with yourself after chronic stress and pressure.
Tailored for professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives navigating intense work demands and high internal standards. We explore the roots of perfectionism and develop healthy boundaries and sustainable fulfillment.
“Therapy works best when you feel respected, understood, and actively involved in the process—building resilience and a stronger relationship with yourself.”
— Dr. Maya Reynolds, PsyD
