Constant visibility, deadlines, expectations, and feeling like you’re never fully “off” can leave you anxious, burned out, or disconnected from yourself.
I provide therapy designed to address the hidden emotional costs of success and the unique challenges of high-visibility lifestyles. With warmth, discretion, insight, and flexible scheduling, therapy becomes a confidential space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, strengthen relationships, and build a more sustainable way of navigating success.

Bell Canyon, CA 91307
We are experienced in working with couples and with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems, gender/sexuality issues and life transitions.
Think of me as your very own Therapy Poppins! I chose to become a Therapist because I know all too well what it is like to feel completely out of sorts, uncertain where to turn and often very numb! I’ve been overweight, overworked, overlooked, overwhelmed and quite frankly, over life! I took control of my life and began holding myself accountable. I dropped the excuses and decided not to survive this life but to thrive in it! It would be my honor to help you with care, empathy, consideration and just a spoonful of sugar!

On the outside, you are capable, high functioning, and getting through life. On the inside, your body stays tense, your mind rarely rests, and your relationships feel harder than they should. Trauma trained your nervous system to stay on guard long after the danger passed. Childhood trauma, relational trauma, and narcissistic abuse do not live in memory alone, they live in the body. EMDR allows us to go beyond insight and work directly with the nervous system so old patterns can release. I help people heal complex trauma through EMDR so they can stop living in survival mode and finally feel safe, present, and free in their own lives

Santa Monica, CA 90403
I specialize in anxiety and obsessive-compulsive related disorders, and trauma-treatment.
My passion is in helping clients to feel empowered, capable, compassionate, and connected to self and others. I believe that we humans are born with an innate capacity to accept ourselves as we are, ask for our needs to be met, and seek out meaningful social connection. Our life experiences, however, can prevent us from remembering that we are lovable, deserving, competent, and enough as we are. I help clients work through past experiences that may still have a hold on the present. And while working through these barriers, I (gently) push clients to take daily steps in the direction of their goals and values!

I work with kids, teens, and young adults who are struggling with anxiety, relationships, emotion regulation.
Are you tired of your daughter's emotions dictating the mood of the house? You can see that she is struggling and nothing seems to help. Maybe it feels like no matter what you say, it’s never the right thing. Teens are in a unique and often turbulent stage of development. She is navigating intense emotions, evolving friendships, shifting identities, and a growing desire for independence, all while still needing structure, guidance, and support. Add in the mounting pressures of social media, academic demands, and the lasting impact of the pandemic, and it’s no wonder this stage can feel overwhelming for everyone.

Anxiety Therapists
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
