Over the past 18 years, I've had the privilege of helping individuals, couples, injured workers, service members and veterans successfully manage PTSD, anxiety, chronic illness, pain, personality disorders, injuries, burnout, and existential crises.
You can expect treatment to help reduce symptoms, but good therapy can offer more. Most people I work with report better understanding their patterns, becoming less self-critical and more self-compassionate, feeling more capable and in charge, improving boundaries and communication, developing coping skills, and managing emotions more flexibly.

I work with family, couples, and adults facing relationship difficulties, attachment injuries, childhood emotional neglect, grief and loss, trauma, family conflict, and recovery from narcissistic/antagonistic relationships.
Therapy with me is not about fixing, it's about understanding and being curious about what makes you...you!
My approach is psychodynamic, attachment-focused, and trauma-informed. I integrate IFS, EFT and relational approaches to help clients develop a deeper self-understanding and create lasting change through insight, compassion, and authentic connection.

For several years, I've worked with individuals experiencing anxiety that goes beyond everyday stress. Often showing up as overthinking, chronic worry, panic, or feeling responsible for holding everything together; you may find yourself people-pleasing, struggling to set boundaries, avoiding, or repeating the same patterns despite knowing they no longer serve you. Even when life appears to be going well on the outside, it can feel exhausting on the inside. Through in-depth psychotherapy, I'll help you understand where these patterns began, how they continue to shape your life today, and how to create meaningful, lasting change.

What are the common treatment options for personality disorders?
Personality disorders are typically treated with psychotherapy, sometimes in conjunction with medication. Therapy can help people with personality disorders develop skills to tolerate difficult emotions, navigate interpersonal relationships, and solidify their sense of self. Medications can treat symptoms that co-occur with the disorder, such as depression, anger, aggression, and impulsivity.
When to seek treatment for personality disorders?
Even though treatment for personality disorders can be an uphill battle, it’s best to seek help if you suspect that you or a loved one is struggling with one, because personality disorders can create substantial problems in life. Symptoms depend on the specific disorder, but overall signs of personality disorders include consistent difficulty maintaining close relationships, dramatic variations in self-esteem, and an unstable sense of identity.
How long does therapy take for personality disorders?
The timeline for treating personality disorders isn’t as clear-cut as it is for other disorders. Change can be difficult, taking from around one year to five, 10, or more. The key is finding a therapist who has extensive experience treating the relevant disorder. For example, a psychologist who specialises in narcissistic personality disorder has specific communication strategies that allow them to sustain the relationship and be more effective with narcissistic patients.
Can therapy help people with personality disorders?
Research suggests that for those who are motivated to address concerns or interpersonal conflict related to a personality disorder, therapy is far more effective than no treatment, and that most people in therapy see improvements. However, since personality disorders involve entrenched elements of identity, they are less responsive to treatment than are other mental health conditions. Finding an expert who has extensive experience working with a given personality disorder is one factor that increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
