Societal norms have influenced many of us to believe that it’s unacceptable to need help and that prioritizing yourself is a weakness. We place unrealistic expectations for who we should be and eventually it gets to be too much. As a therapist my goal is to help you change the narrative. Aiding you in developing self awareness and a strong sense of self love, and encouraging self care and self expression are key components in changing the narrative and breaking the cycle.

Spicy? Artsy? Neurodivergent? Hypermobile? Me too. Those on the fringe are my favorite kinds of people. Your emotions are intense. You see the best and worst in life. It can get hard though; the anxiety, rage, and sadness hurt. You get impulsive - say and do things you regret. You can be a hot mess. The emotional roller coaster is exhausting - you've been riding it all your life and want off. Familiar? The good news is it's gonna be ok. You're not "crazy". You don't have to live in misery. If you think you might have Borderline Personality Disorder, or are just a highly sensitive person, Dialectical Behavior Therapy can help.

Are you ready to be open? Open to change, to trying new things, to having new experiences and to having a healthy mind and body? Are you aware? Aware of how you talk to yourself, aware of the story you tell yourself and others about who you are? Are you ready to be focused on your present and not regretting the past or being anxious about the future? Are you ready to be engaged with the process of identifying who and what you value in life and make decisions that move you toward your values? You can do hard things and move towards those values even when it's difficult!

We all struggle to find balance in the roles we are trying to maintain in our lives. Our past, relationship struggles, motivation, anxiety and depression can all complicate our attempts to navigate how to be the best version of ourselves. Many of us "know" what to do, but have not successfully identified ways to manifest that into action. While we cannot change the things we have experienced, or the behavior of those around us, we can identify successful ways to approach our difficulties. A part of moving forward can be gaining more awareness of the mind/body connection and exploring insight and behaviors to make lasting change.

We all want to live a fulfilling, meaningful life. We want better relationships, strategies and hope. Sometimes we get trapped in the challenges, difficulties, and pain that comes our way. Coming to terms with a difficult past, present, or future takes courage and time. My role is to help you learn to improve your challenging situation or relieve the hurt you feel. It may be due to life transitions, hard relationships, pain from the past, chronic stress, or fear of future events that have you stuck. We will work together to develop a plan for the issues you want to improve in a realistic, attainable manner.

Sometimes looking in the mirror is hard when the image looking back at you is not what you pictured.
