Gain Clarity,
Cultivate Resilience
Life can feel relentless at times. Especially when anxiety, stress or the echoes of past experiences keep you on edge. You may appear high-functioning to the outside world while quietly carrying exhaustion, overthinking or physical tension.
I'm here to help you move through that. Together we can create space for relief, clarity and a more sustainable way of living.
My Specialities
Anxiety & Panic
Understanding and easing worry, racing thoughts, panic symptoms and the physical effects of anxiety.
Trauma & PTSD
Support tailored to help you heal from past experiences, whether from a single event or ongoing trauma, and how they impact your life, relationships, and sense of self today.
Burnout & Perfectionism
Helping high-achieving professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives recover from chronic stress, reconnect with themselves, and build healthier boundaries and rhythms.
Know that help is available.
If any of these feel familiar, know that change and relief are possible:
- Constant worry, overthinking or feeling "on edge"
- Trouble sleeping or waking up already tense.
- Physical symptoms of anxiety (tight chest, racing heart, fatigue)
- Feeling stuck, numb or disconnected from yourself
- Lingering effects of past trauma or difficult life experiences
- Professional burnout, perfectionism, or chronic high-pressure
With empathy, structure, and evidence-based tools, we'll work together to help you feel more grounded and present in your life.
Hi, I'm Dr. Maya
I'm a licensed psychologist in Santa Monica, California, helping adults with anxiety, trauma, and stress. I offer a supportive therapy space that combines different approaches to address emotional and physical well-being.
My goal is to help clients feel safe and in control, especially when dealing with trauma. Many of my clients are high-achievers who have become exhausted and disconnected. I help them slow down, reconnect, and live a more balanced life. I provide both in-person and online sessions.
My Office
My office is a quiet, private space designed to feel calm and grounding, with natural light and a comfortable, uncluttered environment.
Clients often share that the space itself helps them feel more at ease when they arrive.
