Therapy can help us better understand ourselves, deepen our connection with loved ones, and build a life that we enjoy. I specialize in working with women who are experiencing challenging life transitions, difficult or intense emotions, or feel stuck in deeply engrained patterns of behavior. Sorting through our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors alone is often overwhelming and confusing. Therapy provides a supportive space for you to process your experiences, identify and shift thoughts and behaviors that are no longer helpful, and take meaningful steps toward a peaceful and more satisfying life.

I believe the ability to heal and live the most meaningful lives lies within each and every one of us. Whether it is life circumstances that have led to feeling stuck, relationships feeling unsatisfying, or feeling disconnected from yourself, I trust that there is a path forward. Through genuine connection, collaboration, and uncovering the parts of us we have tucked away or not been given permission to honor, there can be relief and freedom for a new way of life. It is not easy facing the hardships of everyday life on top of the scar tissue that can build up from years of protecting ourselves and coping in the ways we know how.

Whether you find yourself in life transition, impacted by personal or communal violence or other traumatic events, or otherwise feel frozen or stuck, therapy may support you in building awareness and skills to move through what you're facing. You may experience doubt in aspects of yourself you're unfamiliar with, fear of known or unknown stress-inducing circumstances, or the physical and emotional impacts of violence or pain you've seen or experienced. In each case, finding space where you can name what is painful to name is often the first step in that movement through it.

As a therapist I am humbled by the complexity of our emotional world. Finding a solution is not always a clear or linear process. I hope to create a space where sitting in the discomfort of not immediately knowing or fixing becomes tolerable. My therapeutic style tends to focus on building self-awareness and understanding how past experiences can influence our present ability to cope or make decisions that align with values you may hold. The way we understand ourselves can be impacted by the people and spaces that we navigate each day. I hope to understand how your early experiences may be with you in the present.

Like the tide, as healing and growth take hold in us, they can sometimes appear to recede—but then they advance even further. I walk alongside people moving into their best visions of themselves. Cracks are how the light gets in.

The issues which I enjoy working with the most are those related to relationships and family dynamics. One of the areas of most interest to me is working with individuals who are coming out of a relationship with a partner who had narcissistic personality traits. I became licensed as a marriage and family therapist in 1998 and have worked as a family therapist in substance abuse treatment programs, residential treatment programs for children and adolescents, and residential treatment programs for women. I also work with many individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and trauma.

We all experience challenges that hinder our ability to lead meaningful, productive, and connected lives. My relational treatment approach is for you if you're interested in going beyond simple behavior modification to address the root causes of your stresses and struggles and transform your life. Dr. Hinson believes that adolescence and young adulthood are unique intervention opportunities, where psychotherapy can alter developmental trajectories and have a lifelong impact.

Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists
What is the most successful approach to treating borderline personality disorder?
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is considered the gold standard of treatment for borderline personality disorder. An evidence-based treatment, it addresses the extreme emotional reactivity, the relationship difficulties, and the acts of self-harm that create so much distress for BPD patients. DBT is a comprehensive program that includes both regular individual psychotherapy sessions and weekly group sessions of skills training.
What happens in treatment of borderline personality disorder?
Treatment typically consists of weekly individual therapy sessions that last an hour and group skill-focused instructional sessions that may last up to two hours. Patients are typically given homework “assignments” in which they are asked to practice in their daily life the skills they acquire in therapy. Patients also keep a diary tracking their emotions and impulses as a way to know which situations are most problematic and to help them gain control over their own behavior. Difficult situations and feelings are typically reviewed in therapy sessions and more constructive solutions found.
What kinds of problems does BPD treatment help with?
DBT was initially developed to dampen the self-destructive impulses of chronically suicidal patients. It is now the treatment of choice for borderline personality disorder, a serious condition marked by extreme emotional reactivity, relationship instability, and self-injurious behaviors. Treatment of BPD helps patients tolerate the flux of emotions without acting on them, often with a specific focus on tolerating negative emotions. DBT addresses the core problems of BPD—fear of abandonment, low self-esteem, and impulsivity.
What is the goal of treatment in borderline personality disorder?
The goal of treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD) is to relieve the extreme emotional distress that patients experience—to curb their emotional reactivity, to minimize their inclination to self-harm, and to reduce their impulsivity. Toward these ends, patients are not only taught an array of new coping skills and techniques for emotional regulation, they are given opportunities to practice them. Another major goal of treatment is interpersonal effectiveness; patients learn and problem-solve ways to effectively communicate in relationships, especially how to ask for what they need as a way to minimize hurt feelings.
