If you’re used to being the one who holds it together, therapy can feel like the only place you’re allowed to stop. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but internally overwhelmed, stuck in anxious thought loops, emotionally exhausted, or carrying old family wounds that still show up in their relationships and self-talk. You may know why you feel the way you do, but knowing hasn’t been enough to create real change. I work with adults who want more than insight; they want relief. My approach is direct, supportive, and grounded in evidence-based care.
I use EMDR to help process unresolved trauma, DBT to build emotional regulation and boundary skills and attachment-focused work to untangle patterns rooted in early relationships. This is especially helpful for clients navigating BPD, anxiety, depression, chronic health stress, or the complicated grief that comes with going low or no contact with family.
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you; you’re not broken. It’s about slowing things down to understand what your nervous system has been communicating, and learning how to respond differently without shutting down or self-abandoning. I offer culturally informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming care in a space where you don’t have to explain or defend your identity.
