"Healing begins where the mind meets the body."
Therapy for adults in Santa Monica, CA.
Live a resilient life.
Life can feel overwhelming especially for high-achieving adults balancing anxiety, stress, trauma, or burnout in a fast-paced world.
It's common to appear functional while feeling internally exhausted or on edge, but you're not alone. As a licensed clinical psychologist in Santa Monica, I'm here to help you find regulation and reconnection.
My Specialties
Perfectionism
High internal pressure leaves many functional yet stuck—therapy fosters self-compassion and realistic resilience. Explore patterns affecting relationships and work, developing insight for a stronger sense of self.
Trauma
Specializing in single-incident and complex trauma from childhood or relationships, I use paced EMDR and stabilization methods. Focus is on emotional regulation and rebuilding confidence beyond sessions.
Stress
Navigating chronic stress and its body-mind toll, I integrate collaborative therapy with practical tools. High-achievers learn to slow down, reduce bracing, and build enduring emotional balance.
Hi, I’m Dr. Maya,
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist based in Santa Monica, California, committed to providing a safe, warm, and collaborative environment where high-achieving adults can explore anxiety, trauma, stress, and burnout. With empathy and evidence-based methods like CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness, we'll work together to build resilience and regulation in your daily life.
A calm, welcoming space

Soft natural light, warm textures, and thoughtful details help create a space that encourages openness, reflection, and healing.

all alone.
If you are facing any of these, there’s hope:
- Constant worry or overthinking
- Tension, poor sleep, or emotional edginess

- Burnout from high pressure or perfectionism
- A sense that something’s always about to go wrong
With warmth and evidence-based guidance like CBT and EMDR, we’ll work together to build safety, regulation, and resilience.
