When emotions take over, it can feel like you're constantly reacting—sometimes in ways that don't even make sense to you. Maybe you're stuck in cycles of anxiety, shutting down, lashing out, or just trying to hold it together. It's exhausting. And it doesn't have to stay this way. You might be feeling overwhelmed, too sensitive, emotionally numb, or like you’re constantly fighting yourself. You want to feel more stable, more connected, and more in control of how you respond. You’re ready for real change—even if it feels hard.
I work with adults navigating emotional dysregulation, trauma, anxiety, and BPD. I specialize in evidence-based approaches like DBT and EMDR—but just as importantly, I show up as a real person. Therapy with me is collaborative, warm, and grounded in mutual respect. We’ll work together to slow things down, understand what’s really going on, and make meaningfu
I’ve been doing this work for over 22 years, and it’s still an honor to sit with people in their hardest moments. My style is direct, compassionate, and grounded in hope. Whether you’re overwhelmed by emotions or disconnected from them, we’ll figure it out together—one step at a time.
