I specialize in blending DBT skills with deeper identity work. That means we’ll work on practical tools to manage intense emotions, navigate conflict, and reduce impulsive behaviors, while also exploring the underlying beliefs you hold about yourself. Often, it’s not that people don’t know what to do. It’s that in moments of shame, rejection, or overwhelm, their sense of self becomes fragile, and skill use drops. Together, we strengthen both your coping toolbox and your internal foundation, so you can respond to life from a grounded, intentional place rather than from self-criticism or reactivity.
If you’re tired of knowing what to do but struggling to actually do it when emotions run high, you’re not broken. You may just need support that strengthens both your coping skills and your sense of self. Change is possible, and you don’t have to figure it out alone. Reach out when you’re ready.
