Therapy for Emotional Overwhelm & Regulation

Feeling Too Much, or Trying Your Best to Feel Nothing at All?

Therapy to help you understand, manage, and befriend your emotions instead of being controlled by them.

For many of us, our relationship with our emotions feels like a constant battle. Maybe your feelings are so big and powerful that they hijack your day, leaving you exhausted and overwhelmed. Or maybe you’ve become an expert at locking your feelings away, keeping them at a “safe” distance until you feel more disconnected than safe.

Whichever it is, you know your current strategy isn’t sustainable.

Your Emotions Are Data, Not a Dictator

There is no “right” or “wrong” way to feel. Whether you’re overflowing with emotion or feel completely walled-off, your emotional style developed for a reason—it was a way to protect yourself and cope with your environment.

The goal of therapy isn’t to get rid of your emotions. It’s to build a healthier, more compassionate relationship with them. Together, we can create a safe space where you can learn to listen to what your feelings are trying to tell you, without letting them take over the driver’s seat of your life.

A Tale of Two Extremes

A difficult relationship with emotions can look very different from person to person. Do you see yourself in either of these experiences?

For Those Who Feel “Too Much”

Your emotions often feel intense and overwhelming, like a wave that knocks you off your feet.
You might be quick to anger or tears, and your moods can shift rapidly and unpredictably.
You worry that your emotional reactions are damaging your relationships or holding you back.
You feel out of control and exhausted by the constant emotional rollercoaster.

For Those Who Intellectualize Feelings

You pride yourself on being logical and rational, sometimes to the point of feeling disconnected or numb.
People might describe you as stoic, reserved, or hard to read, even when you're struggling inside.
You are deeply uncomfortable with vulnerability and view strong emotional expression as a weakness.
You analyze your feelings from every angle rather than actually feeling them.

How I Help You Find Your Emotional Balance

We will approach your emotions with curiosity, not judgment. In our Person-Centered sessions, you will be accepted exactly as you are, big feelings and all. The goal is to build your personal “toolkit” for emotional well-being.

This space is for you if:

You feel things deeply and get overwhelmed
You’re shut down or disconnected from emotions
You overthink instead of feel
You’ve been told you’re too sensitive—or too cold
You struggle to trust or express how you feel

Using the practical tools of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other therapies, you will learn how to:

Notice and name your feelings and thoughts without immediately believing them or reacting to them.
Make room for discomfort, learning through experience that you can survive even the most painful emotions without having to fight them or numb them.
Listen to the wisdom of your emotions and understand what they are trying to tell you about your needs and your values.
Choose your actions based on the kind of person you want to be, even when difficult feelings are present. This is the foundation of emotional freedom.
