I believe that meaningful change begins with a strong, authentic therapeutic relationship. Creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and genuinely connected is at the core of my work. I value trust, transparency, and collaboration, and I approach each relationship with deep respect for the individual experiences and strengths that every person brings into the room.
Outside of my professional life, I feel most grounded when I’m in the outdoors—especially backpacking in the mountains whenever I get the chance. Nature offers me perspective, balance, and a sense of renewal that I carry into my work with clients.

Why can’t I change?” Experiencing emotional responses that leave you feeling ashamed, misunderstood or that something is wrong with you? You find yourself in chaotic relationships, overcompensating to fill a void. Lost and alone in your journey and mentally and emotionally isolated from others.

I specialize in helping those navigating trauma, anxiety, dissociation, OCD, and personality disorders.
When you’ve experienced trauma, the past can feel heavy, showing up as anxiety, disrupted sleep, or strong reactions to small moments. Trusting others, or even yourself, may feel difficult, and relationships can become strained. Beneath it all is a hope for relief and a desire to feel more grounded and at ease. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting what happened; it means building safety, clarity, and resilience so the past no longer controls how you live today.

We may also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy and other interventions for PTSD, OCD, addiction, anxiety, personality disorders, bipolar disorders, grief, self-harm, and dissociation.
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!

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.
