Is it anger
I work with bipolar, trauma, BPD, anger & anxiety. I'm not your average “touchy-feely” therapist. Therapy with me isn’t about sugarcoating things or dancing around the truth. You get to bring the messy, uncomfortable thoughts, and I’ll give you space to say them, without judgment. We’re here to figure out what’s really going on, not just slap a bandaid on it

Perhaps you have been having difficulty trying to manage your symptoms. Maybe you struggle with depressed or anxious feelings and troubling thoughts. You may at times feel overwhelmed or paralyzed by what you are experiencing.

I help clients cope with racial identity, trauma, depression, stress and anger management.
My training allows me to see the powerful connection between the mind, body, trauma, and development. I bring this perspective into therapy to make it informative, engaging, and dynamic. Therapy with me isn’t meant to be boring—it’s a working relationship that can be both supportive and challenging. I often describe it as being one puzzle piece in your journey: together, we break things down and rebuild them into a clearer, stronger version of you.

If you are someone who struggles with anger management, aggression, anxiety, psychosis, identity, or attachment, we may be a good fit.
In psychotherapy sessions, I rely most on classical and interpersonal psychodynamic therapeutic frameworks. I will also draw from humanistic and existential techniques. I am not a clinician who will dictate to you who you are, what to do, or what to believe. I will listen to you and help you unfold those unconscious processes that make you who you are.

I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, anger, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm.
From the outside, you look like you have it all handled, the deadlines met, the people in your life cared for, the one everyone leans on. Inside, it's harder. Maybe you've been called "smart but scattered" or "too sensitive," and wondered why "just try harder" never worked. If you're a high-functioning adult facing ADHD, anxiety, depression, or burnout, your brain isn't broken, you've just been working twice as hard with the wrong tools. I help you understand how your nervous system actually works, so we can build focus, steadiness, and self-compassion instead of more pressure. There's a name for this, and a path forward.
