Academic and Social Pressure Therapist

Support Their Struggles. Ease the Pressure. Help Them Thrive Without Burning Out.

In our therapy sessions, I help teens navigate:

    •    Academic stress, test anxiety, and perfectionism

    •    College pressure and fear of failure

    •    Procrastination, motivation struggles, and burnout

    •    Social anxiety, peer pressure, and bullying

    •    Identity confusion and self-worth tied to performance

    •    Balancing expectations from parents, teachers, and themselves

    •    Healthy coping strategies and emotional regulation

    •    Building confidence, resilience, and perspective

Today’s teens are under more pressure than ever. Between academic expectations, social comparison, extracurricular overload, and the constant buzz of social media, it’s no wonder so many young people feel anxious, overwhelmed, or like they’re never doing enough.

As a licensed psychotherapist and former medical doctor who works closely with teens, I create a supportive space where they can breathe, express themselves without judgment, and learn how to manage the intense pressures they face—both in and out of the classroom.

This is more than tutoring or time management—it’s about helping teens feel empowered, understood, and mentally strong in a high-pressure world. Let’s help them find success not just on paper—but in who they are becoming.

I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
