You've been called "too sensitive," "too intense," or "too much" — and part of you has started to believe it. Your emotions feel like they're running the show, and the aftershocks of past trauma, high-conflict relationships, or chronic mis-attunement have left you exhausted and isolated. You don't need another listening ear. You need a real roadmap. I work with people navigating complex trauma, PTSD, and BPD who are done just surviving their own inner world and ready to build genuine stability — not just better coping, but actual mastery.

As a DBT-certified, trauma-informed LCSW with a PhD, I pair deep processing with concrete, evidence-based skills. My approach is direct and compassionate — we don't just talk about the pain, we build the tools to move through it. Specialties: complex trauma, PTSD, BPD, emotional dysregulation.

You are not "broken" or "too much." You simply haven't had the right tools yet. A life that feels stable and worth living isn't out of reach — it's what we build together. If you're ready to move from surviving to thriving, reach out today to schedule a consultation. I'm ready when you are.
