If your emotions feel exhausting, your relationships feel unstable, or you keep repeating patterns you promised yourself you’d stop, you may be the kind of client I help best. My ideal clients are adults and college students struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, BPD traits, panic, and chronic emotion dysregulation. Many come to me feeling hopeless after therapy that helped them understand the problem but not change it. Through adherent DBT, I help them build the skills to feel more in control, communicate effectively, and create a life that finally feels steady and worth living.

As a Linehan Board Certified DBT therapist, I help adults and college students overwhelmed by intense emotions, anxiety, perfectionism, BPD traits, and relationship pain. Through adherent DBT, individual therapy, and skills groups, I help clients feel more emotionally regulated, communicate effectively, and build a steadier, more fulfilling life.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’ve already tried to “figure it out” on your own. If you’re ready for support that is both compassionate and structured, I’d love to help. Together, we can use DBT to help you feel safer in your emotions, more confident in relationships, and more connected to the life you want to build.
