Therapy that Honors Every Part of You.
Find peace within. Reconnect to your self-worth. Begin living more fully — with compassion for the parts of you that long for calm, clarity, and connection.
Tired of always feeling anxious and never enough?
Imposter syndrome may keep you stuck in a cycle of perfectionism, overthinking, and burnout. You might notice the constant pressure to perform and prove yourself in different areas of your life — work, relationships, even within your own family.
Fears of inadequacy might show up across different parts of your life, leaving you questioning:
“Am I competent or smart enough?”
“Am I attractive or likable enough?”
Comparing yourself to others might leave you feeling discouraged, ashamed, or like you're always falling short.
The striving may feel endless — but so does the self-doubt.
You may find yourself in constant “do-mode,” working overtime, avoiding rest, and pushing through — just to feel good enough. All while hoping for validation or relief from the fear of failure and criticism.
Tending to your own needs might feel guilt-ridden — even selfish. You’ve likely been conditioned to prioritize others, keep the peace, and hold everything together. And somewhere along the way, it may have felt safer to ignore your own feelings, desires, and exhaustion.
Underneath this hustle, there may be a younger part of you — the one who learned to stay busy, be “good,” and never disappoint. That part may still be carrying the fear that if you stop, rest, or speak up, you’ll let someone down.
Patterns like people-pleasing, procrastination, and emotional exhaustion become familiar — but they’re also unsustainable.
Guilt and fear of letting others down can cloud your true desires.
You may feel confused about your future — unsure what you truly want, or what path aligns with your values.
You might fear disappointing your family or not living up to expectations.
If you’re the child of immigrant parents, you might carry an added layer of guilt or confusion: Should you follow your own passions, or honor the path your family hoped for you?
There may be parts of you that long to feel free and fulfilled — and other parts that are scared to disrupt what’s expected. All of this can lead to deep self-doubt, inner conflict, or even sadness and hopelessness.
Longing for inner peace and a more authentic life?
You might be hoping to feel more at ease within yourself — to feel less anxious and more grounded in who you are. You may wish for clarity around what your anxiety is trying to tell you, and how to care for the parts of yourself that have been working so hard to keep you safe.
Through gentle, inner child-informed therapy, we can explore these protective patterns with curiosity and compassion — not to judge them, but to understand what they’ve been trying to do for you.
It's possible to move toward a life that reflects your true values — one where your needs, passions, and boundaries are honored, alongside the relationships you care about.
In our work together, I can help you:
Quiet the voice of imposter syndrome and feel more confident in your strengths
Rely less on external validation and begin trusting your own intuition
Speak your needs and set boundaries without fear or guilt
Offer yourself the same kindness and care you give to others — especially the parts of you that feel scared, small, or not enough
Feel safer showing up as your full, authentic self — even in relationships
Explore what genuinely brings you joy, and take steps toward that life
Anxiety, Burnout, and Perfectionism
Therapy for Adults in Burbank, CA
Perfectionism & Burnout Therapy
You often overthink — caught in the “what ifs” and “shoulds.” High expectations push you to work harder, but deep down, it never feels like enough. Fear of failure or disappointing others keeps you in a cycle of people pleasing and burnout.
Together, we can gently explore the parts of you that feel pressure to prove, and nurture the parts that long to rest and feel worthy — just as you are. You are enough.
Nature-Based/Outdoor Therapy
Do you feel drawn to nature or find calm in the outdoors? Nature therapy — also known as ecotherapy — can support healing for many concerns including anxiety, burnout, depression, trauma, perfectionism, and relationship distress.
Connecting with the natural world can help you feel more grounded, process painful emotions, and build a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
Are you a child of immigrant parent(s) navigating the tension between honoring your family and following your own path?
You may feel caught between generational or cultural expectations and your own voice — leading to guilt, resentment, anxiety, or self-doubt.
Therapy offers space to understand these struggles with compassion, explore what you truly need, and learn to honor both your family and your authentic self.
