Do you feel caught in a cycle of intense emotions, "clingy" attachment patterns, or relationship conflicts that leave you exhausted? I work with adults who feel emotionally overwhelmed or caught in impulsive behaviors they can’t quite change on their own. Whether you are navigating Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Complex PTSD, or the pain of repeated failed relationships, you don’t have to figure it out in a vacuum. Together, we’ll move toward secure attachment and self-compassion, replacing "autopilot" reactions with intentional, healthy choices.
Therapy with me is a collaborative, back-and-forth conversation. I am an active therapist—I ask direct questions, offer real-time feedback, and help you slow down to examine patterns as they happen. Using a mix of CBT, DBT, and acceptance-based tools, we focus on the practical: managing your day effectively and regulating intense emotions.
In our first session, we’ll focus on "fit" and clarity. We’ll look at what’s keeping you stuck and outline a structured path forward, no interrogation, just a purposeful start. If you’re ready for honest reflection and tools you can actually use outside of our sessions, I’m here to help. Reach out today to see if we’re a good match!
