Are you struggling with intense emotions, mood swings, or feeling trapped in high-conflict relationships? My ideal clients are individuals who face the daily challenges of mood disorders, past trauma, and the strain of difficult relationships. Whether you're dealing with emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, or trauma from painful experiences, you don’t have to navigate these obstacles alone. Together, we’ll work on developing skills for emotional regulation, improving communication, and healing from past wounds to help you build a life filled with balance, peace, and fulfilling relationships.
Specializing in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and trauma-focused therapy, I offer evidence-based tools to help you manage overwhelming emotions, set healthy boundaries, and transform conflict into connection.
If you’re ready to break free from the cycles of emotional pain and create a more stable, joyful life, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Therapy is hard, brave, and life-changing work, so you can count on me to bring insight, humor, and honesty to each of our sessions. You’ll leave our time together feeling heard, valued, and empowered.
