Have you ever been told or wondered if you're "too sensitive" or "too emotional?" As if this is a shameful thing? I'll take a wild guess and say that hearing this probably doesn't help in feeling "less" emotional. This can be such a bind – maybe intense emotions/behaviors make things harder. However, a sense of acceptance, whether it comes from within or from loved ones, can profoundly support in feeling understood, safe, and resilient. And these more subtle feelings can absolutely assist in the pursuit of making necessary changes in emotional expression & related behaviors, impact on relationships, and presence day-to-day.
Hello, I'm Katie and I provide dialectical behavior therapy – a therapy which aims to not only offer skills and education needed to understand emotions, but also how to "work with" one's psychobiology, wisdom, and insights about oneself and the world. Integrating these factors is helpful in making the behavioral changes that lead to the life one envisions.
Your curiosity and investment in your mental/behavioral wellbeing is admirable. Participation in behavioral therapy can assist in staying accountable to our bigger picture, existential, and values-driven goals. With my radically genuine, compassionate style, I believe our powers combined can help in realizing your life worth living.
