I am a psychotherapist and clinical social worker. In our first sessions together, my clients often tell me that their emotions and relationships feel overwhelming. They struggle to understand why ordinary moments can become so intense, or why they move between longing for closeness and needing to pull away. They may have always felt things more deeply than the people around them, but the relationships that matter most to them can become a source of conflict, uncertainty, and heartache. These painful patterns can persist, even when they’re trying their hardest to change. Feeling deeply isn’t something that needs to be fixed. It’s a strength that deserves understanding. The challenge isn’t having big emotions but learning how to work with them instead of feeling swept away. I help clients slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and respond in ways that feel more grounded and intentional. With a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships, emotions can become a source of information rather than something to fear. You can begin to navigate conflict, communicate your needs, build trust, and create more fulfilling connections. The goal isn't to feel less. It's to understand what you feel, make sense of what happens between you and others, and respond with greater flexibility and self-understanding. If you're ready to begin, I’d be happy to connect.
