Do people misunderstand you, call you "too much", "too sensitive", "dramatic" or tell you too calm down when you are trying to explain yourself. After hearing these messages for long enough, its easy to start believing something is wrong with you. You might cry easily, become overwhelmed quickly, or feel everything so deeply that relationships, work and everyday life are exhausting. Whether you've been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, live with complex trauma, or experience emotions intensely, therapy should begin with being understood-not judged. I work with people you, the person not the diagnosis.
Perhaps you've tried therapy, completed DBT, or been taught to "regulate your emotions" yet life still feels overwhelming. My approach is different. With decades of experience, I know therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. Alongside psychotherapy, I use nature, creativity, music and experiential approaches to help you take charge of your life and emotions.
You don't have to have the right words, know where to begin or worry about being judged. You are welcome exactly as you are. We'll make sense of things together, at a pace comfortable for you, finding an approach that fits who you are not who you think you should be. When your ready, there is space for you here.

Tools to focus on changing behaviors, feelings, and thoughts depend on the psychological processes / motivations which often are unconscious. When you feel comfortable we will look with curiosity at the patterns and themes that help and hinder your emotional and behavioral awareness. Without judgement. Before starting with a type of therapy we will discuss to check it fits for you and your goals.
