Do you find yourself worrying about your relationships—at work, at home, or with the people you care about most? You may feel caught in a painful double bind: wanting to be calm, connected, and understood, yet finding yourself overwhelmed, shutting down, or reacting in ways you later regret. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning people navigating anxiety, depression, or relationship stress, sometimes feeling hopeless or even suicidal. I also work with neurodivergent adults (ADHD, autism), parents, and couples seeking more understanding, stability, and connection.
I help you understand and shift these patterns without judgment. Using CBT and DBT, we work to reduce emotional overwhelm, depression, and suicidal thinking while building more effective ways to cope, communicate, and respond. Our work balances space to process with practical tools that help you feel more stable, clear, and in control.
When you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or alone, it can be hard to imagine things changing. You may be trying to hold everything together while struggling internally. You don’t have to carry that on your own.
I bring both clinical expertise and real-world understanding of stress, relationships, and work pressures. Together, we can make sense of it all.
