Emotional Intelligence Skill-Building and Support

Have you ever wished you could better understand your emotions — or respond to them without feeling overwhelmed?

I specialize in helping children, teens, and adults build emotional intelligence: the ability to recognize, understand, express, and manage emotions in healthy ways. Strengthening your emotional skills can create powerful changes in your mental health, relationships, and daily life.

In our work together, I help you:

• Identify and name emotions with more clarity

• Regulate intense feelings using practical, evidence-based strategies

• Build distress tolerance to navigate hard moments without shutting down or lashing out

• Strengthen emotional communication to deepen your connections with others

I draw from proven approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach real-world skills that you can start using right away.

How Emotions Are Shaped

Emotions aren't just something we "have" — they are shaped by our earliest relationships and environments. Through my graduate research, I studied how emotions are socialized between parents and children, and how this impacts mental health across the lifespan.

Understanding these patterns helps us not only address what's happening now, but also heal from emotional patterns rooted in the past.

Whether you're hoping to strengthen your child's emotional skills, feel more in control of your own emotions, or break free from old emotional habits, I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space to guide you.
