Emotion Regulation and DBT-Informed Therapy
Therapy available in-person in Los Angeles and virtually across California.
“Being a human makes you innately worthy of having your needs be met.”
– Nicole Strauss, PhD.
It feels like your emotions have taken over.
Maybe you swing from feeling deeply loved to suddenly feeling rejected or abandoned, even when part of you knows nothing major actually changed.
Relationships can feel intense and confusing, like you’re always walking on eggshells or replaying conversations in your head, wondering if you ruined everything.
You’re not alone if you cope in ways that leave you feeling shame, guilt, or even more overwhelmed.
And while late-night scrolling through social media or Reddit threads can make you feel less alone, it still doesn’t give you the steadiness or peace you’re craving.
You can feel deeply without losing control.
Imagine having a moment to breathe between feeling something and reacting to it. Instead of getting swept away by the wave of emotions, you start to steady yourself and respond in ways that support you.
With the right tools, relationships feel less like a minefield and more like something you can navigate with confidence. The self-criticism softens, your nervous system calms, and life starts to feel a lot less chaotic and a lot more like yours again.
Why me?
I get it. I know what it’s like to feel on the edge of your own emotions, cycling through shame, fear of abandonment, and distrust. With me, you don’t have to overexplain or pretend you’re okay.
I’m fully on your side, helping you learn practical DBT and emotion regulation tools so your feelings stop running the show. Together we’ll build steadiness, self-trust, and relationships that feel grounded, safe, and real.
