I pull from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), but I’m not rigid.
Do your emotions take over in ways you regret? Whether you lash out, shut down, or spiral into overthinking, I can help you manage them. I work with people who seem to have it all together on the outside but struggle with self-criticism, intense emotions, and self-sabotaging behaviors. Maybe you find yourself stuck in the same frustrating cycles, knowing there are better ways to handle things, but in the moment, it feels hard to follow through. I won’t just nod along and validate (though you’ll get plenty of that too). I’ll teach you practical, science-backed skills to regulate emotions and break unhelpful patterns.
