I’m glad you are here.
I specialize in working with emotionally overwhelmed children, teens and adults who move between emotional shutdown and emotional overload - feeling either flooded by emotions or disconnected from them.
Many of my clients struggle with attachment-related difficulties, intense inner confusion, loneliness in relationships, and big feelings that feel hard to manage.
Therapy can become a place where emotions feel less overwhelming, relationships feel more secure, and life starts to feel more manageable again.
Child and Teen Therapy
Your child’s struggles are more than just behaviors or moods—they are messages, signals from a deeper place.
I work with emotionally overwhelmed Children and Teens who:
experience intense emotions like sadness, anger, and confusion
swing between emotional shutdown and emotional flooding
feel lonely, unanchored, or misunderstood in relationships
struggle socially or academically because emotions feel hard to manage
Parents often say:
“We want our child to be emotionally stable, connected, and able to handle life’s challenges.”
If this resonates — you’re in the right place.
Here you find more information about Child Therapy and Teen Therapy.
My work helps children feel more emotionally grounded so that school, friendships, and family life become more manageable —
not through pressure or behavior control, but through understanding and emotional support.
Therapy for Adults
Beneath everyday struggles, deep-seated emotions and unconscious patterns often shape your present.
“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”
Carl Gustav Jung
This work supports emerging adults in:
making sense of identity and emotional experience
resolving patterns of isolation and relational difficulty
building emotional confidence for autonomy, relationships, and life transitions
Importantly:
You don’t need to perform in therapy. You are invited to be understood.
