Therapy Services for OCPD, Emotional Over-Control & Treatment-Resistant Depression
Specialized care using Radically Open DBT to help you reconnect, grow, and thrive
Have you tried other therapies and found they didn't address your issues or you felt the therapist didn't understand you? I provide specialized, evidence-based treatment for individuals who feel stuck in traditional therapy or overwhelmed by perfectionism, emotional inhibition, or chronic disconnection. Using Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT), our work targets the deeper patterns of emotional over-control that often underlie conditions like Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD), treatment-resistant depression, and social withdrawal. This therapy is designed for people who may appear high-functioning on the outside but feel disconnected, rigid, or emotionally isolated on the inside.
What Makes These Therapy Services Different?
Specialized care using Radically Open DBT to help you reconnect, grow, and thrive
Most therapy approaches are based on the assumption that clients need to apply control to address their symptoms. But if your challenges are rooted in too much self-control, you need something different.
Radically Open DBT is specifically built for individuals who:
-
Struggle with OCPD, chronic depression, or perfectionism
-
Feel emotionally distant from others or avoid vulnerability
-
Rely on rigid routines, rules, or internal standards that limit life satisfaction
-
Have tried other therapies but haven’t found lasting relief
This approach focuses on building openness, flexibility, and authentic social connection—key components to long-term mental wellness for over-controlled individuals.

Personalized, Research-Based Treatment
I offer structured therapy services that include both individualized support and class learning:
One-on-One Therapy Sessions
Target the beliefs and behaviors that are keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll build insight and learn practical, skills-based tools to address emotional over-control and create space for more freedom, spontaneity, and meaningful connection.
RO DBT Skills Classes
In small class sessions, you’ll develop and practice strategies to improve emotional flexibility, increase social connection, and reduce the internal pressure to always be “in control.”

Is This the Right Fit for You?
These therapy services are ideal if:
-
You’ve been in therapy before, but nothing has truly shifted
-
You’ve been diagnosed with or identify with OCPD, chronic depression, or high-functioning anxiety
-
You’re exhausted by your own perfectionism, self-criticism, or emotional suppression.
-
You’re ready to explore a more open, connected, and fulfilling way of living.
