This can't be how life is supposed to go.
Your emotions seem to have no middle ground—you're fine, you're holding it together, and then suddenly, you're not. There's a constant hum of fear and anger running just beneath the surface, and it either stays buried or explodes all at once. Everything rushes in so fast, and you’re left spinning, trying to figure out how it got there so quickly.
Feels Like...
You're stuck in a loop of 'what ifs'.
​
-
Every situation, no matter how small, balloons into something that feels unmanageable, and you're caught between panicking over the worst-case scenario and feeling frozen, unable to make a decision. It's like you want to do something—anything—but your body and mind won’t let you. You’re exhausted, burnt out, and unsure of how to move forward, but the fear of making the wrong choice keeps you paralyzed.
​​
And then there's the guilt…
​
-
You try to make yourself feel better with whatever's within reach, but it never really works. Whether it's food, spending, or numbing yourself, it just piles on more shame and frustration. You want to take control, but every attempt seems to backfire, and the fear of others seeing that struggle just makes you pull away or lash out. And the thought of just saying 'no' or setting boundaries? Terrifying, because what if that makes everything worse? You fear they’ll think you’re unreasonable, or worse—leave altogether.


Your emotions are communicating something.
Let’s figure out what they’re trying to tell you.
My Approach
Together, we’ll work on learning to respond rather than react.


We’ll start by taking the time to understand what’s making it hard for you to manage your anxiety and emotions.
Sometimes, it's about how you’re biologically wired, or maybe you just didn’t learn the right skills growing up. Other times, it's a pattern of being stuck in emotional overload or believing things about your feelings that don’t really match what’s happening. Whatever it is, we’ll uncover it together, so we can work to change those patterns.
Once we have an idea of what’s going on, we’ll look at whether your emotional reactions suit the situation in front of you, or if they’re making things harder. If they’re not helping, we can practice doing something different together—the idea is to act in ways that help you reach your goals and what’s important to you, even when emotions or anxiety try to pull you in another direction. With focus and consistency, you can learn to shift beliefs and habits that keep emotions feeling out of control and respond in ways that feel more effective and true to what’s important to you.
We’ll also focus on bringing more joy and meaning into your life by prioritizing things that lift you up—whether that’s connecting with others, doing activities that make you feel alive, or working toward your wildest dreams. I’ll help you build confidence in areas that matter most to you, while also learning how to set boundaries and protect your emotional health. Taking care of your body, planning ahead for stressful moments, and creating a life that feels more balanced will be central parts of this process, and I’ll be here to guide and support you the whole way.

Frequently asked questions
+ What is emotional dysregulation?
- WhaWhat is emotional dysregulation?
Emotional dysregulation is when emotions feel too big for the facts of the situation and it’s hard to bring them back down to a manageable level. It can make you feel out of control, and even small inconveniences or upsets can lead to intense reactions that are hard to calm down from. Specialized therapy can help you understand where these intense emotions are coming from and learn to manage them in new ways.
+ How does anxiety affect the body?
- How does anxiety affect the body?
Anxiety can cause a lot of physical symptoms like a racing heart, tense muscles, upset stomach, and shortness of breath. Your body goes into fight-or-flight mode, making you feel on edge, even when there's no real danger. The tools and skills you can learn in therapy are designed to manage both the mental and physical aspects of anxiety.
+ Where does anxiety come from?
- Where does anxiety come from?
Anxiety can come from a number of factors—including genetics, life experiences, trauma, and even your thinking patterns. It can be triggered by stress, past experiences, or just worrying about scenarios that might happen in the future. Everyone’s experience with anxiety is different, but it usually stems from feeling unsafe or uncertain in some way. By learning to ground yourself in the present and developing the ability to trust yourself to handle whatever may happen in the future, you can be less controlled by your anxiety and feel safer taking the next step without seeing the whole staircase.
