You may find yourself trapped in the same painful relational patterns of feeling misunderstood, chronically empty, or disconnected from yourself and others. I work with adults navigating complex trauma, personality difficulties (including NPD and BPD), structural dissociation, and the aftermath of high-conflict relationships. Standard supportive or skill-based therapy like CBT is often ineffective for these challenges. I utilize Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT) and trauma-informed stabilization—structured, evidence-based frameworks designed specifically for complex relational and personality pathology.
Together, we work to map your inner world, understand the minds of those around you, and break the rigid patterns that keep you stuck. Therapy for complex trauma and personality difficulties requires a rigorous, structured space to build resilience, restore your capacity to trust, and create sustainable change.
Therapy isn't about avoiding the complexity of your mind; it's about building the capacity to navigate it without being overwhelmed.
