You’re high-functioning
You likely manage a lot, think deeply, and are used to being the one others rely on
But internally, you feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or disconnected from yourself
I work with clients who…
Experience high-functioning anxiety or trauma
Constant overthinking, internal pressure, and difficulty slowing down
Are professionals who carry it well on the outside but struggle
Struggle with people-pleasing, over-functioning, and setting healthy boundaries
Experience burnout and emotional exhaustion, especially in high-pressure environments
Have difficulty in relationships, often giving too much.
Struggle with low self-esteem, identity issues, or difficulty trusting themselves
Carry shame, guilt, and avoidance patterns related to anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergence, or past experiences
Want to discover who they are authentically
Are navigating cultural struggles and difficult family dynamics.
Are mothers struggling with postpartum depression & anxiety
Experience identity shifts after birth
Are seeking a whole-person approach
Growth looks a lot like disappointing people who benefited from your old patterns
Therapy for High-Functioning Anxiety and Trauma in Los Angeles & California
I provide therapy for for adults located in Los Angeles and throughout California, offering virtual therapy sessions for accessibility and convenience. I work with young adults and adults seeking deeper, lasting change.
I specialize in supporting individuals who appear capable and put together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected internally. Many of the people I work with are self-aware and insightful, yet still find it difficult to create meaningful, lasting change on their own. This is where our work goes deeper and you gain practical tools to apply in your daily life.
Types of Trauma
Many of the people I work with don’t initially identify their experiences as “trauma.” Often, these patterns are rooted in experiences such as:
Childhood trauma - Growing up in environments where your emotional needs weren’t fully met, you experienced grief, or your environment felt chaotic, critical, and unpredictable.
Immigration/Refugees - Distress from traumatic experiences before, during, and after immigration.
Pre-migration vs. Post-migration: Trauma in your home country and the trauma of resettlement (loss of status, isolation, and challenges navigating a new culture)
Complex trauma (C-PTSD) - Ongoing or repeated traumatic experiences that can leave you feeling chronically overwhelmed, hyper-aware, numb.
Vicarious Trauma - Often experienced by first responders, therapists, and medical professionals that lead to intrusive thoughts, burnout, and emotional numbness.
Betrayal trauma - Experiences like infidelity or relational ruptures that impact your ability to feel safe, trust others, or feel secure in relationships.
Over time, these unresolved experiences can show up in ways that feel confusing or frustrating, including:
Difficult interpersonal relationships
Substance abuse and/or behavioral addictions
Struggles with body image and food
Chronic depression & low self-worth
You may understand where these patterns come from, yet still feel unable to shift them on your own.
My path to becoming a therapist was personal. Therapy didn’t resonate with me at first, but when I found the right therapist, it helped me work through pain I had carried alone for years.
Postpartum Depression and Anxiety Therapy for Mothers
I also specialize in working with mothers navigating postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and the emotional challenges of motherhood. The postpartum period can bring significant shifts - emotionally, physically, and mentally.
You may feel:
Overwhelmed & Depleted
Disconnected
Anxious and/or depressed
Not like yourself, even while holding everything together
Many of the mothers I work with struggle with:
Identity challenges
Feelings of guilt and shame
Intrusive or obsessive thoughts
A lack of support, while feeling pressure to “handle it all.”
My approach to postpartum mental health is holistic and trauma-informed, supporting both your emotional well-being and your nervous system. I also incorporate education around nutrition, stress, and overall wellness, recognizing the connection between physical and mental health during this time.
This work may be a good fit for you if you want deeper, lasting change, not just short-term coping strategies
If this resonates, you are not alone.
Looking at patterns helps us understand how our past relationships and experiences influence our current struggles, allowing for the development of deeper insight & lasting change.
CBT helps us identify patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. You’ll develop practical strategies you can apply outside of therapy that support you in creating meaningful changes in your daily life.
We all carry younger parts inside us. Working on our relationship with inner child parts helps in fostering a greater self-understanding, self-love, and emotional balance.
What Makes Me Different
My approach to therapy goes beyond symptom reduction. While many therapists focus on coping skills, my work goes deeper in helping you truly understand and change the patterns that keep you stuck, while also teaching you practical tools.
Through relational, integrative therapy, I tailor therapy specifically to you to help you understand and shift the underlying patterns driving your struggles so you can build self-trust, confidence, and a more grounded, authentic sense of self.
My approach supports long-term emotional balance and resilience. As your therapist, I will always show up as my authentic self.
Part of what helps me is attending my own personal therapy — to ensure I’m showing up as my best self. It’s important to practice what I preach.

Therapy can be helpful for anyone who wants support, clarity, or tools to navigate life more effectively. You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people seek therapy when they’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they want to change, navigating a difficult life transition, or wanting to better understand themselves and their relationships.
It may be a good time to consider therapy if you find yourself struggling with anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, burnout, self-doubt, or unresolved experiences that continue to affect your daily life. Therapy can also be a space for personal growth, building confidence, improving boundaries, and developing healthier ways to cope with life’s challenges.
If you’re wondering whether therapy might help, that curiosity alone is often a good sign that support could be beneficial. An initial consultation can help you explore what you’re looking for and determine whether working together feels like the right fit.
-
We’ll start by getting to know one another. I’ll go over consent and confidentiality (including its limitations), and we’ll begin exploring what’s bringing you to therapy and what your goals are.
I’ll gather your history to gain a better understanding of how I can support you. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.
