Are you a highly sensitive person struggling with mood regulation and/or an anxious attachment style? You may struggle with anxiety, high stress levels, and maintaining stable relationships. Criticism or conflict might hit you harder than it does others. Endless arguments over the same issue and ineffective communication hurts both you and your partner. Past grievances often resurface, intensifying the conflict. You're sensitive to any signs of perceived distance or disinterest from your partner, which can trigger feelings of anxiety and insecurity. You long for emotional stability, and a sense of connection yet fear intimacy.
My approach combines various evidence based techniques such as CBT, DBT, and ACT therapy to reduce feelings of anxiety, low self esteem, and shame. For couples specifically, I use Emotion Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method to manage conflict.
If you've hit a breaking point and are ready to prioritize yourself, I would love to work with you to cultivate self-awareness, manage conflict within relationships, and address any past traumas that may be impacting your present well-being. I offer a FREE 15 minute phone consultation and have a flexible schedule.

I pull from various modalities such as CBT, DBT, ACT therapy. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. CBT helps replace maladaptive thought patterns with healthy ones while DBT helps with emotional regulation. ACT can help increase your sense of self by helping you identify your values system.
