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.

You know that meme of that dog sitting in a burning room with the caption, "This is fine"? Sometimes it can feel as if everything is falling apart and we're trying our best to cope with the stressful events. Therapy is a tool to improve your mental, emotional, and psychological stability to manage through stressful situations. Therapy should be collaborative and progressive. It should feel as if you're making progress towards improving yourself and finding your strength, or whatever goals you have set for yourself.

Feeling out of control and overwhelmed? Like your brain is stuck on repeat: “Why me? Why am I like this? 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. At the end of the day you feel hopeless about finding relief. I recognize that traumatic experiences are a spectrum that we each experience uniquely. I treat trauma from a relational approach and focus on nervous system (co)regulation.

First off, thank you for being brave enough to take this first step in this journey! Navigating life at any age often brings challenges that are unpredictable, leaving a need of searching for belonging. I believe you deserve to feel confident in your inherent worth and that you belong—always. In the queer community, therapeutic supports are most important and vital for survival. Intersectionality can be beautiful but also lead to loneliness when there is a lack of similarity of your identity around you. As a queer woman of color and as a therapist, I understand the importance of having a space where you can be your truest self.

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.
