You don’t have to keep pushing through alone

Together we’ll understand the patterns behind what you’re feeling and build practical skills you can use every day.

Anxiety · Depression · Bipolar and mood concerns · Emotional regulation and BPD · Trauma · Burnout and stress

Grounded in CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, and solution-focused approaches.

You might recognize the feeling first

Everyday words matter more than labels. If one of these sounds like you, you’re in the right place.

“My mind won’t slow down.”

“I’m concerned about my drinking.”

“I don’t feel like myself anymore.”

“Someone I love is struggling.”

“My emotions feel too big to manage.”

“I’m not sure where I fit in.”

Practical skills, from real DBT training

Together we’ll understand the patterns behind what you’re feeling and build skills you can use outside our sessions. My training includes extensive work in Dialectical Behavior Therapy through Behavioral Tech and with DBT’s founder, Dr. Marsha Linehan, alongside CBT, trauma-informed care, and solution-focused approaches.

Mindfulness
Notice thoughts and feelings so you can respond with intention.

Distress tolerance
Get through hard moments without making things worse.

Emotion regulation
Understand your emotions and respond in healthier ways.

Interpersonal effectiveness
Ask for what you need and set boundaries with self-respect.
