Support for the part of you that is tired of pushing through
Many adults I work with appear composed and successful while privately managing constant worry, tension, difficulty sleeping, or the sense that they are always bracing for what comes next.
What you are experiencing has emotional and physical layers. Together, we can understand the patterns beneath the symptoms, strengthen your ability to regulate, and make room for a steadier relationship with yourself.
Who I help
For adults who are functioning on the outside—and feeling overwhelmed within.

I work with adults in California, including thoughtful, high-achieving professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives navigating anxiety, panic, trauma, burnout, perfectionism, or chronic stress.
Do you offer in-person and online therapy?
Yes. In-person sessions are available from my private Santa Monica office, and secure telehealth sessions are available to clients located anywhere in California.
What is your approach to therapy?
