Struggling with trauma or mental health challenges can feel like being trapped in a relentless cycle—marked by depression, impulsive decisions, intense emotions, fear, or a deep sense of hopelessness. These patterns can lead to avoidance, compulsive behavior, or risky choices that only add to the difficulty. Maybe you've faced a major life change, experienced trauma, or are living with mood instability, depression, anxiety, or BPD and now feel stuck and unsure where to turn. The good news is, there are effective, evidence-based treatments that can help you heal emotionally and reclaim your wellbeing.
By reshaping the way our minds respond to distress, we can reduce emotional and behavioral reactivity and build healthier ways to navigate life's challenges. My focus is on helping people work through trauma and mental health struggles so they can feel empowered and in control again. I offer psychotherapy, art therapy, DBT, and specialized treatment for BPD.
Living with emotional pain doesn’t have to be your forever story. I’ll help you learn therapy tools that become part of your daily life so you can process your past, move forward with strength, and find lasting relief. I have an energetic, direct, and supportive yet challenging approach to therapy, and I’ll be your side as your partner through the process.
