My website

My clients are the ones to do things perfectly, yet their best never feels good enough. They want to make the "right" decision in many aspects of their life. They can easily care for others but have a hard time caring for themselves. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, overthinking, self-criticism, people-pleasing, stress, burnout, or extremely high standards. Many appear successful on the outside while feeling overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted inside. Therapy provides a space to understand these patterns, build self-compassion, set healthier boundaries, and create a more balanced, fulfilling life.

I help high-achieving adults across California who feel stuck despite doing their best. Many are professionals who have spent years putting pressure on themselves and are ready for something to change. Together, we work toward feeling more confident, connected, and at ease, with greater clarity about what you need and how you want to live.

My approach is warm, collaborative, integrative, and insight-oriented, while offering practical tools. I draw from EMDR and somatic approaches to help you better understand yourself, process what may be keeping you stuck, and feel more grounded. We’ll work at a pace that feels right for you. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) Educational Workshop

Hosted by

Dr. Jessica Vartanyan

The Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) Workshop is an 8-week educational experience for adults who want to better understand sensitivity and how it may shape their emotions, relationships, boundaries, and everyday experiences. Through guided discussions, reflection exercises, experiential activities, and practical tools, participants will explore the HSP trait and develop greater self-awareness and self-understanding. The workshop offers a supportive space to learn, reflect, and connect with others who may share similar experiences. Facilitated by California-licensed mental health professionals in an educational, non-clinical role, this workshop is designed for learning and personal exploration—not psychotherapy or individualized mental health treatment.
