Are you exhausted from managing your emotions all day? Planning around triggers. Replaying conversations. Feeling overstimulated, reactive, or completely shut down. You may hold it together in some areas and unravel in others. Maybe you understand your patterns logically, but in the moment a part of you takes over and responds before you can think. You want to respond differently in the moment so your relationships and life feel more secure rather than chaotic.

I specialize in helping teens 16+ and adults navigate Borderline Personality Disorder or traits, trauma, ADHD, and Autism. Many of my clients experience emotions intensely, struggle with rejection sensitivity, masking, or relational instability, and feel frustrated that insight alone has not created change. 

My approach integrates DBT, parts work, somatic therapy, and EMDR. We build concrete regulation skills while addressing the deeper patterns that keep cycles in place. When you are ready, you can schedule a free 15 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit together!
