Trauma & Anxiety Therapy in Monrovia, CA
When you’re over being in your own head and just want your brain to chill.
Let’s make it make sense.
Therapy for women ready to ease anxiety and become your own bestie instead of your worst critic.
Not to Call You Out, But…
Maybe you wake up already feeling behind. Before your feet even hit the floor, you’re already thinking about everything you need to do, everything you forgot to do, and everything that could possibly go wrong. Your to-do list has a to-do list, yet somehow you still feel like you’re never doing enough.
And even when you finally get a chance to slow down, your brain doesn't. It replays conversations, picks apart things you said, and finds new things to worry about. You’re still thinking about that one slightly awkward thing you said three days ago and wondering if everyone secretly thinks you're weird now. Or noticing one tiny shift in someone's tone and immediately thinking, “Wait… are they mad at me?” Deep down, you just want your brain to be quiet for once.
So you try harder. Stay productive. Take care of everyone else. Say yes when you really want to say no. And when you finally get a chance to relax? Your body might be on the couch, but your brain is still clocked in.
You give everyone else grace while holding yourself to impossible standards. You’re everyone else’s hype girl while quietly being your own harshest critic. Somewhere along the way, being “the strong one” started looking a lot like putting yourself last.
Imagine having your own back as fiercely as you have everyone else’s. Let’s get to work, girl. It’s time to be your biggest hype women.

If your mind never seems to slow down, you're constantly second guessing yourself, or you've already played out 17 worst case scenarios before breakfast, you're not alone. Therapy can help you quiet the mental noise and start trusting yourself again.
Anxiety Therapy
It can be exhausting when the past keeps showing up in the present. EMDR therapy helps your brain process painful experiences so they no longer have the same hold on you, creating space for you to move forward feeling more grounded and connected to yourself.
Trauma & EMDR Therapy

Your Trauma & Anxiety Therapist in Monrovia, CA
Hi, I’m Miranda, LMFT
“The goal isn’t to become a “new” version of you—it’s to come back to yourself in a way that feels steadier, more connected, and a little more rooted within yourself.”
Life is life-ing, you're exhausted, and somehow you've ended up on a therapist's website. Welcome! Whatever brought you here, I'm glad it did. Before we talk about healing, I wanted to introduce myself, not just as your therapist, but as a fellow human who knows what it's like to navigate life's messy moments.
This isn't just the work I do, it's work I deeply believe in. I know what it's like to live with a mind that never seems to slow down, to question your worth, to wonder if you will ever feel like yourself again, and to carry the weight of experiences that continue to shape how you see yourself and the world. That understanding is something I carry into every session, creating a space where you don't have to prove yourself or have it all figured out.
I believe everyone deserves to live free from the weight of old stories and expectations. Together, we'll work toward helping you trust yourself again, feel more connected to your body and your values, and come home to the version of yourself that's been there all along.

Next Steps
Step 1
Book a free consultation call
I offer a free 15 minute phone call so you can ask any questions you might have about getting started and see if this feels like the right fit for you. It’s also a chance for us to connect a bit and get a sense of whether working together feels comfortable and supportive for you moving forward.
Step 2
Schedule your first session
At the end of our consultation call, we’ll go over the details together, including finding a weekly time that fits your schedule. Meeting consistently each week helps create the space and support you need to stay connected to your healing process and build real momentum over time.
Step 3
Welcome to your healing era!
We will begin to gently explore the parts of you that have been trying to protect you, even if those ways of coping have felt heavy, exhausting, or hard to carry.
Over time, we’ll start to understand the patterns that keep you stuck in anxiety, guilt, or shame and begin softening them, not forcing them.
