Online Therapy for High-Achieving Women In Santa Monica California
If you’re searching for a therapist in Santa Monica because anxiety, burnout, or past trauma feel too heavy to carry alone, you’re in the right place. Through EMDR, trauma & anxiety therapy, I help high-achieving women release what’s been stored in their bodies for far too long…so rest feels safe, boundaries feel natural, and self-worth isn’t tied to doing more
You’ve done everything “right,” but you still feel stuck. Therapy can help you find peace that doesn’t depend on productivity.
Why Therapy in Santa Monica, CA
Santa Monica is filled with beauty, ambition, and movement, but also pressure. The constant pace, high cost of living, and perfection culture can leave you exhausted and emotionally disconnected.
Online therapy offers a calm space to breathe and reconnect from the comfort of your own home.
Why my clients love online therapy:
Convenience: Get support without commuting on busy days or fighting for parking on Montana Ave.
Privacy: No waiting rooms, no explaining where you’re going. Just time for you.
Flexibility: Therapy that fits your schedule, whether you’re a parent, student, or professional.
What Therapy Looks Like
Our sessions aren’t about fixing you… they’re about helping your nervous system feel safe again.
You don’t have to force progress or perform healing here. We move at a pace that feels doable, gentle, and real.
Through EMDR therapy, we’ll:
Release the old beliefs driving your anxiety or burnout.
Build emotional safety so your rest doesn’t feel like failure.
Strengthen your nervous system’s capacity for calm and clarity..
With my Santa Monica and California-based clients, we often focus on:
Perfectionism & Over-achieving: Releasing the belief that your worth depends on performance.
Overthinking & Anxiety: Soothing the nervous system and creating safety in stillness.
People-Pleasing & Boundaries: Learning that saying “no” doesn’t make you unkind — it makes you whole.
Childhood & Relationship Wounds: Healing the patterns that keep you replaying old emotional roles.

Yes. Research shows online therapy can be just as impactful as in-person sessions, especially when you feel safe and seen.
My clients say they appreciate having a familiar, private space to open up from home. No commute, no waiting room and no pressure to “look okay.”
-
A quiet, private space, a strong Wi-Fi connection, and a phone, tablet, or computer. Headphones are helpful, especially if we’re doing EMDR or deeper nervous system work.
-
That’s completely normal at first. Many clients start off unsure, but quickly feel comfortable once they realize this space is here for them. You can show up in a hoodie, on your couch, no small talk required. This space is about you, not performing.
-
Absolutely. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure where to start.
Whether you’re grieving, burned out, or navigating a life shift, online therapy gives you the space to feel without needing to explain or justify it all.
