Anxiety & Trauma Therapy for Adults in Santa Monica, CA
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer thoughtful, evidence-based therapy to help adults feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to themselves.
Find steadiness in the midst of everything you’re carrying.
Life can feel especially heavy when you’re high-functioning on the outside but struggling internally. Anxiety, self-doubt, and constant pressure can make it hard to feel present, rested, or at ease.
Therapy can be a space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and build tools that help you feel more grounded in daily life.
My Specialties
Anxiety & Panic
Chronic worry, racing thoughts, or panic can leave you feeling tense and exhausted. I help clients understand the patterns driving anxiety and develop practical strategies to feel calmer, more regulated, and in control.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma can live in both the mind and body, even long after an experience has passed. My trauma-informed approach prioritizes safety, pacing, and nervous system regulation, helping you process experiences without feeling overwhelmed.
Burnout & Perfectionism
Burnout often affects high-achieving adults who feel constant pressure to perform or “hold it all together.” Therapy can help you reconnect with your values, set healthier boundaries, and build a more sustainable way of living.
You don’t have to manage this on your own.
You may benefit from therapy if you’re experiencing:
- Persistent anxiety or tension
- Difficulty relaxing or sleeping
- Trouble focusing or making decisions
- Emotional exhaustion or burnout
- A constant sense of pressure or overwhelm
With empathy and collaboration, we’ll work together to help you feel more steady, supported, and connected in your everyday life.
