I offer a warm, attuned, and grounded space for couples and individuals to study the forces shaping their relational lives. Together we trace patterns of pursuit, withdrawal, and longing, making room for new ways of meeting one another and oneself. In couples work, partners learn to speak what feels unspeakable and repair what feels fractured; individuals deepen their capacity to love and be loved. Rooted in psychoanalytic traditions, my approach weaves relational, attachment, and trauma-informed theory with somatic awareness, affective neuroscience, and mindfulness.

Suffering seems inevitable, a part of the human experience. You do not need to do it alone. There are plenty of causes to your discontent and suffering. What often haunts me is that our capacity to deeply listen to and respond to each others concerns is compromised because we often feel distracted with our own issues and obligations. I offer empathic, deep listening to respond to the suffering that brings you to therapy. My approach to treatment is collaborative, compassionate, and comprehensive. Our first meetings are designed to identify your specific needs and to build a therapeutic plan together.

Are You Feeling Stuck?
Sometimes the strategies and coping mechanisms that once protected you from pain or hardship can become the very things that hold you back. Over time, they may interfere with your well-being, your relationships, and your ability to connect with your community.
When we’re caught in cycles of stress or trauma, it’s common to develop narratives rooted in blame—of others or of ourselves. But healing begins when we start to understand the deeper biological, psychological, and social factors at play.
By recognizing that help is necessary I am able to assist you in moving towards solutions .

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.
