Clarity amidst Chaos
I specialize in guiding passionate, creative, and sensitive young adults and professionals through life's complexities. My practice is particularly attuned to those navigating intense emotions and sensory overload. These individuals often feel overwhelmed, searching for ways to create more manageable and meaningful lives that honor their unique gifts while finding balance. They want to better understand and regulate their emotions, cultivate self-respect, establish healthy boundaries, nurture relationships, and discover a sense of purpose.
My approach blends warmth and humor with evidence-based interventions. Certified in CBT and extensively trained in DBT and ACT, I integrate mindfulness, self-compassion, and exposure techniques, enriched by the latest research in Positive Psychology and the ancient wisdom of Zen Buddhism. This holistic blend helps me tailor our work to your unique goals, fostering growth and change in a caring and compassionate environment.
