If you have been told you are "too emotional" or "too sensitive", my approach might be a good fit for you! DBT helps clients build “A Life Worth Living”, and this is for me a life that is guided by your values, one that you would want to continuously prioritize while mindfully sharing it with others.

You’ve got a lot going on, and it feels overwhelming. Maybe you have too many choices and can’t decide what to do. I help individuals and couples reclaim their personal power and author a life story that is just right for them. Maybe therapy seems like something you don't "need," but you want to move from surviving to thriving and know something needs to change. You want to feel better and get some relief but are not sure how to get there. My approach is warm, collaborative, and directive.
