Do you worry, overthink, or over-plan? Do you have high expectations or perfectionist tendencies, or struggle to relax? Do you avoid emotions simply because you're not sure what to do with them, or don't like feeling out of control? Maybe you struggle with persistent anxiety, depression, low self-worth, or unwanted thoughts and behaviors even with medication or other therapies. If you feel stuck, you just might have too much of a good thing - you may be over-controlled. Together we can work to calm your nervous system, increase self-compassion, develop flexible coping skills, and build a life that feels worth living and sharing! If you're looking for a better quality of life without spending years in therapy, behavioral models like DBT and RODBT may be a good fit for you. They go beyond managing your symptoms to help you build a life you truly love and want to share with others, and equip you with the skills to sustain it, while effectively managing day to day stressors. My clients feel seen, respected, and actively attended to. My approach is warm, direct, curious, and infused with humor. I empower and support clients to explore the unknown and uncomfortable, and try new things. I work collaboratively with clients to challenge self-criticism, practice unconditional self-love, and build lives that feel truly satisfying.
