Ideal clients are those impacted by their symptoms with an awareness of needing to evolve to overcome their daily struggle. As we start our journey at the bottom of the mountain we must understand there are several paths to the top. All of these paths have the potential to lead you to the top to find the view you've been looking for. You're going to choose your path, as with many things in life. I will walk alongside you as we ascend the mountain, meeting daily goals on the way. As we move forward, we'll process the roots, rocks, caves, canyons we traverse. Why do you keep tripping on them? Why are they holding you back?

Hi, I'm Tyler. I work with adults navigating complex trauma, dissociation, and gender-affirming care — especially folks who have spent years holding it all together and are ready to stop performing that for a while. My clients often live with dissociative disorders (DID, OSDD), OCD, PTSD, or the trauma layered underneath anxiety and long histories of not being believed. Many are trans, nonbinary, queer, neurodivergent, or all of the above. If therapy has felt clinical, rushed, or like you had to translate yourself to be understood, you're not alone in that.

I work with women who are tired of repeating the same patterns in their relationships and lives. They may struggle with anxiety, self-worth, boundaries, perfectionism, resentment, disconnection, or relationship difficulties, yet sense that something deeper is driving these patterns. My ideal clients are curious, self-aware, and ready to look honestly at their own stories, protective patterns, and the role they play in their struggles. Together, we move beyond simply managing symptoms to understanding the roots of what keeps them stuck and creating meaningful change.

It's time to make a lasting change, to get real and heal. Your life is too important. I help individuals unravel the complex stories of their lives. Life is full of twists and turns that pull us from our center, creating overwhelm and distress. Limiting beliefs picked up from childhood color our responses to loved ones and ourselves. We engage in behaviors that are disconnected from the person we really want to be. This feels awful.

By the time most couples find me, they’ve already tried communicating better, learning new skills, reading the books, or even previous therapy. Yet the same painful pattern keeps returning. The real question isn’t how to stop the conflict—it’s understanding what’s organizing it. Once that becomes visible, the relationship starts making sense.

I work with people navigating relationship patterns, personality dynamics, and the parts of life that don't respond to ordinary advice - the recurring conflicts, the high-functioning exhaustion, the sense that something underneath needs to shift but you can't quite name it. Most of what brings people to therapy isn't actually located inside the individual. It lives in a system - a couple, a family, a group, an organization, a culture - and the person carrying the symptom is often the one most attuned to what the system can't yet metabolize.

I have specialized training in personality disorders, religious trauma, and cult dynamics, and I work with clients experiencing longstanding struggles related to shame, emotional regulation, self-worth, trust, and connection.
Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in emotional or relational patterns they can’t fully explain. You may have spent years trying to understand yourself, developed coping skills, or even been in therapy before, yet still feel that something deeper remains unresolved. I work with adults, including many LGBTQ+ individuals, who are navigating complex trauma, attachment wounds, identity struggles, relationship difficulties, or the lasting impact of emotionally harmful or high-control environments.

Life is unpredictable and challenging. Whether due to a life changing event that occurs in the blink of an eye, or circumstances existing for years or even decades, inevitably we all experience periods in our lives where we feel overwhelmed, isolated, inadequate, depressed, anxious, or even broken. Often these feelings are the byproduct of stress or even trauma. If not properly managed, the effects of stress and trauma will eventually have a detrimental effect on our careers, and, more importantly, our personal relationships and families. In some cases, our personal relationships may actually be the source of the stress or trauma.

Whether you're struggling with PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, men’s issues, grief and loss, or eating disorder recovery, you want more than just symptom relief—you want deeper understanding, meaningful change, and the ability to move forward with confidence.

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.
