Modern anxiety therapy for high-functioning adults in Los Angeles.
You might be here if:
You're successful on the outside and quietly exhausted on the inside
Your mind doesn't stop—even when there's nothing to think about
You over-prepare, over-explain, over-deliver, over-everything
Rest feels suspect, and slowing down feels worse than pushing through
You're the "strong one"—and you're tired of being it
Your relationships feel harder than they should
You've achieved what you wanted and feel somehow further from yourself
Hi, I'm Tanya—a licensed therapist in Los Angeles for the quietly overwhelmed.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Los Angeles, working primarily with high-functioning adults, professionals, creatives, and ambitious overthinkers whose external lives look like they're working—and whose internal lives are asking for something more.
My clients tend to share a particular profile. They're capable. They're driven. They're the ones other people lean on. And underneath the capability is a quiet exhaustion they've been carrying for longer than they realized.
If that's where you are, you're not broken and you're not behind. You're running a pattern. Patterns are workable.
My approach to anxiety therapy goes deeper than coping skills. We work with the patterns underneath—the perfectionism, the overfunctioning, the nervous system that learned, somewhere along the way, that stillness wasn't safe. The goal isn't symptom management. It's giving you a different relationship with the engine underneath your life.
I integrate insight-oriented therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic work, and evidence-based cognitive tools into a structured, modern process. The work is depth-oriented without being meandering. Clinical without being cold. Real.
How I Work
How The Work Actually Goes
Depth-Oriented We go beneath the surface symptoms to the patterns running underneath. Sustainable change happens at the root.
Structured Sessions aren't open-ended venting. They have direction, momentum, and clinical intention from the first one.
Real-World You leave with insight and practical tools you can actually use in your life on Tuesday at 9 a.m.
