Modern anxiety therapy for high-functioning adults in Los Angeles.

You might be here if:

This is what it sounds like when capable people start paying attention.

  • You built a life that works — and you're quietly exhausted by the machinery running underneath it.

  • Your mind doesn't stop. Not at 2 a.m. Not during the meeting. Not on the vacation you spent six months earning.

  • You over-prepare, over-explain, over-deliver, and call it conscientiousness.

  • You're the one everyone leans on — and you're starting to feel the cost of that.

  • Rest feels suspect. Slowing down feels worse than pushing through. You've achieved what you wanted and somehow feel further from yourself than when you started.

You're not broken. You're running a pattern that used to protect you and now just runs you. That's what we work with.

Hi, I'm Tanya,

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly a decade of experience working with adults and couples who look like they have it together — and are quietly running on fumes underneath.

My practice is in Encino and Studio City in the San Fernando Valley, and I see clients virtually throughout California, Nevada, and Oregon. I specialize in anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, overthinking, relationship patterns, and life transitions — the kind of work that goes deeper than coping skills and actually changes what's underneath.

I work with professionals, creatives, founders, and ambitious people who are ready for therapy that has structure, depth, and real momentum.

How I Work

Therapy with direction. Not just a place to vent.

  • Depth-Oriented We go beneath the symptoms to the patterns running underneath. Lasting change happens at the root, not the surface.

  • Structured Sessions have direction, clinical intention, and momentum. This isn't open-ended processing. It's focused, purposeful work.

  • Real-World You leave with insight and tools you can actually use — at 9 a.m. on a Tuesday, in the middle of a hard conversation, in the moments that matter.
