What constitutes a traumatic event is a very personal experience. Often it isn’t until you are in therapy that you discover the full implications and impact on the quality of your life. The footprint of trauma can show itself as difficulty at work, unhealthy relationship patterns, anxiety, depression, or a lack of sleep. It can also be the total and complete interruption of your life. What you may think is anxiety or depression could be early trauma or developmental trauma. It can also be complex trauma created after multiple events and experiences. It is never what's wrong with you but what's happened to you!

You can see that something is off with your teen, even if they can’t fully explain it themselves. The mood swings, the stress, the everyday challenges… you can tell they’re overwhelmed. Changes in friendships, family dynamics, academic pressure, and uncertainty about the future leave them unsteady and worn down. They want independence, yet they still need reassurance and guidance – and that tension makes them shut down and shut you out. You know they’re carrying more than they can handle, but it’s a struggle to find support they’ll actually trust, engage with, and feel safe opening up to without fear of judgment.

Do you struggle with difficult thoughts or feelings that’s affecting your ability to function? Are you seeking help for the first time but don’t know where to start? Feeling misunderstood by loved ones or those closest to us often intimidates clients from seeking help. Not addressing these emotions can lead to disruptions within ourselves and our relationships. I believe that true healing comes from the strength we carry within ourselves.

Hi there! My name is Demi, and I help people break distressing patterns often involving things like complex trauma, attachment issues, or anxiety. These issues are frequently painful and manifest in unstable or difficult relationships, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, perfectionism, codependency, or avoidance. It makes sense if these patterns seem like a "permanent part" of you or "impossible to break", as they were helpful in the past. I'm here to tell you that you can create meaningful change and I would be honored to help you get there from exactly where you're at.

Personality Disorders Therapists
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 specializes 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.
