You want to feel connected to yourself and others but instead you…

  • Feel out of control and overwhelmed by your emotions
  • Feel disconnected from your body and experience
  • Doubt your own intuition and get weighed down by societal messages
  • Turn towards substance use, sex, self-harm, and/or binge eating to dull the pain
  • Long for a family that could have been there for you and seen the real you
  • Feel alone and like an outsider that no one understands
  • Struggle to find a sense of meaning or hope when thinking about the future
  • Struggle with being able to focus, sleep, or enjoy things you used to

 

 

“I did not want to cheat my own reality. I simply wasn’t able to do that. My education, my very being was telling me to be honest with myself.”

—Manabi Bandyopadhyay

 

Whether you’re struggling with intense, chaotic emotions from childhood that lead to ineffective coping or trying to figure out who are you in a culture that clouds your wisdom with limiting narratives, you may feel alone with your pain. You secretly wonder whether you’re going crazy because this can’t possibly be normal…

I want to tell you that there is hope- no matter where you are at in your journey. Life doesn’t have to stay this way.

DBT Therapy for young adults in WashingtonI’m also an EMDR therapist who works with young adult women struggling with intense, chaotic emotions overcome self-destructive and numbing habits in order to live more emotionally balanced and authentic lives.

 

Addiction to a Person

Lastly, I’m a limerence therapist who helps individuals overcome addiction to a person or infatuation for someone other than their partner so that they can get off of the emotional rollercoaster, commit to healthy relationships, and be free of the intrusive thoughts that plague them.

 

My clients walk away from therapy feeling more confident in their ability to navigate their emotions and identity, with more clarity on how to find relief from obsessive thoughts, and with the tools and understanding to choose healthier relationships.
