Introduction

I work with thoughtful, creative, and emotionally sensitive young adults and professionals who often feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, or worn down by the demands of daily life. Many are capable and insightful, yet struggle with intense emotions, self-criticism, or feeling out of sync with themselves or others. Together, we focus on understanding these patterns and developing more sustainable ways of coping and relating. My approach is warm, collaborative, and firmly evidence-based. I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and extensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I emphasize practical skills for emotion regulation, mindfulness, and values-guided change, integrating self-compassion and exposure-based strategies when helpful. Our work is tailored to your goals and how you actually function in real life. Seeking therapy often reflects both distress and strength. Whether you are adjusting to a diagnosis, navigating intense emotional experiences, or feeling disconnected or stuck, therapy can offer a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and move forward with greater clarity and steadiness.
