Are you feeling suffocated by overwhelming emotions, and in an endless cycle of pain, abandonment, and self-destruction? Are your relationships or friendships falling apart? If you, or someone you know is struggling with borderline personality disorder (BPD), anxious/avoidant attachment, fears of abandonment, or childhood trauma, then having a validating, gentle, and understanding therapist can help.
If daily tasks and social interaction are unbearable due to Autistic burnout, we can work towards authenticity, unmasking, and build coping skills and self-compassion.
You don't have to navigate this journey alone and deserve support.
You’re looking for a therapist who is accepting, non-judgmental, sensitive, inclusive, and social justice-oriented. As a LGBTQIA2S+-allied and affirming and clinician, I recognize the importance of feeling supported in your identity. As a therapist with Autism and ADHD, I embrace the unique strengths and challenges of neurodivergent individuals.
I use trauma-informed schema and IFS-based therapies with an attachment-lens to guide clients towards the root of their pain and suffering. I incorporate DBT skills to enhance emotional regulation. Together, we’ll work to understand your past, find peace in the present, and build a future worth living for. I invite you to reach out for a free consultation.
