About

Feeling stuck in old patterns or overwhelmed by a major life transition can make you feel disconnected from yourself. Whether you are navigating a career shift, a relationship change, or the weight of past experiences, these moments often bring up deep-seated issues and a sense of being "frozen" in place. You might find that your usual ways of coping aren't quite enough, leaving you looking for a path toward more lasting clarity and relief. In our work together, we will bridge the gap between understanding your past and taking action in your present. We’ll explore how your history and unconscious patterns shape your current relationships and choices. To balance deep insight with practical relief, I integrate CBT and DBT. These tools offer immediate strategies for reframing negative thoughts, regulating intense emotions, and building the distress tolerance needed to navigate life's inevitable ups & downs.
