Navigating chronic mental illness
Find stability and hope outside the hospital
Since 2016, I have worked extensively with individuals living with complex, ongoing mental health challenges and the family members who support them.
Managing conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, or severe PTSD can feel like a constant cycle of clinical appointments, medication adjustments, and the fear of hospitalization. While medical treatments have their place, true recovery and daily stability require practical, real-world solutions.
I specialize in helping clients build a meaningful life outside of psychiatric institutions. Together, we focus on developing the daily skills, emotional resilience, and support systems needed to manage symptoms and prevent crises before they start.
Comprehensive support for complex challenges
- Depression, Anxiety & PTSD: Finding relief from persistent hopelessness, low motivation, chronic worry, and trauma-driven reactivity.
- Hallucinations, Psychosis & Dissociation: Using grounding techniques and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills (like Check the Facts and Radical Acceptance) to reduce the acute panic and distress triggered by sensory experiences.
- Interpersonal Relationships & Anger: Learning structured communication tools to navigate high-stress conflicts, set healthy boundaries, and reduce emotional volatility with loved ones.
- Family Advocacy & Support: Helping family members understand their loved one’s reality, establish sustainable boundaries, and navigate complex legal, housing, or financial stressors without burning out.
Grounded in Crisis Expertise
My approach is deeply informed by seven years of dedicated work in residential crisis intervention. I understand the realities of acute mental health crises, and I use this experience to help you build practical safety plans and coping strategies.
By keeping my caseload small, I am able to provide the active advocacy and focused attention required to help you or your loved one regain a sense of control, dignity, and peace of mind.
