You may be feeling stuck in painful relationship patterns, overwhelmed by emotions, or struggling with a sense of instability in your life. Maybe you’re tired of “holding it together” for others while feeling lost inside, or you’ve noticed intense ups and downs in your relationships and mood. My clients are often seeking greater clarity, emotional balance, and healthier ways of connecting with the people around them. Many want to better understand themselves, break unhelpful cycles, and move toward feeling more grounded and in control.
My approach is rooted in attachment theory and DBT but I use many therapeutic tools from CBT, SFT, Brainspotting, EFT, IFS, RLT, and EMDR. Rather than relying on one method, I integrate these approaches to fit your unique needs, helping you build regulation skills, process experiences, and strengthen relationships.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when emotions or relationships already feel difficult to manage. My goal is to create a safe, down-to-earth space where you feel supported, understood, and encouraged to grow. Let's take this at your pace - whenever you're ready.
