Many people come to counselling feeling stuck in survival mode. They are overwhelmed, constantly overthinking, emotionally reactive, or caught in the same relationship patterns they promised themselves they would not repeat.
I work with people who are tired of analysing everything and still feeling the same. In our work together, we slow things down so you can understand what is driving your reactions, regulate your emotions, and respond differently with more clarity, control, and self-trust.
I'm a trauma-informed counsellor with extensive experience in DBT. I also draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy, ACT, and person-centred approaches. I work best with people who are open to self-reflection and want to understand themselves more deeply, not to fix or judge themselves, but to break long standing emotional & relational patterns.
By the time you seek counselling, you have usually spent a long time coping alone. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or repeating the same emotional cycles, counselling can be a place to pause and respond differently. You do not need to try harder; you need space to understand what keeps repeating and choose another way forward.
