Trauma-Informed Therapy for anxiety, burnout, & Life Transitions
ROOM TO BREATHE.
SPACE TO heal.
In-person THERAPY in Pasadena & online across CA
Does it feel like you're trying to do everything right, but something still feels off?
You're not broken. You're burnt out, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something different. I work with anxious overthinkers, perfectionists, and people pleasers who appear capable on the outside but feel disconnected on the inside. Whether you're navigating anxiety, burnout, grief, a major life transition, or just a quiet sense that you've lost touch with yourself — I'm here to help you find your way back.
Therapy with me is not about "fixing" you. It's about reconnecting you — to your nervous system, your inner wisdom, your resilience, and your sense of belonging.
You're carrying the weight of the world — the news, your work, your relationships — and somehow still expected to keep it all together. Underneath it all, you wonder: Is this just how life is now? But you're ready to stop just surviving. You're ready to feel more like yourself again — to live with more intention, depth, and ease. Most of all, you're ready to reconnect: to your life, your relationships, and who you really are. I can help you get there.
My clients are seekers.
Thoughtful, sensitive, and curious people who are willing to explore, reflect, and grow. You might be navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, burnout, or identity questions — or simply a quiet sense that something isn't aligned. You know that healing isn't about becoming someone else. It's about reconnecting with who you've always been.
I work with:
Anxious overthinkers & highly sensitive people (HSP)
Perfectionists, people pleasers & high achievers
People navigating grief, loss & major life transitions
LGBTQIA+ folks & neurodivergent individuals
Anyone exploring identity questions or spiritual growth
I offer a grounded, compassionate space where all parts of you are welcome — the anxious parts, the tired parts, the parts you've been hiding.
With over a decade of experience, I integrate traditional talk therapy with holistic, body-based approaches including EMDR, somatic sound therapy, and mindfulness. We'll work with what's stuck in your body, not just your mind. My work is also informed by depth psychology, attachment theory, and narrative therapy — we'll explore not just what's happening, but why, and what it means for who you're becoming.
Hi. i’m Shana.
This is a space where you can Stop performing and start HEALING.
I'm warm but real — I won't just nod along. Therapy should feel like a conversation with someone who truly gets it, not a performance where you have to hold it together. I'll meet you where you are and help you regulate your nervous system, process what's stuck, and move through life with more ease and resilience. A life with less chronic stress and more genuine connection isn't just possible — it's what you deserve.

Anxiety Therapy

You're still functioning — but you're running on empty. Burnout isn't weakness. It's what happens when you give everything you have for too long without enough in return. Recovery is possible.

LIFE TRANSITIONS
Career changes, divorce, perimenopause, becoming a parent, empty nest, grief — transitions shake your sense of identity. Change is inevitable. Feeling lost in it isn't. Support is here.
Therapy is not about fixing what's broken. It's about reclaiming what's been lost.
