“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.” - Carl Jung You’re here because you know that you deserve better. When we’ve experienced events in our lives that cause significant distress it can be hard to remember that we’re worth continuing to care for ourselves and asking for help. Our emotions can feel so big that they take over and we feel powerless in our own decisions. The fact that you’re here and reading this tells me you’re ready to try something different.

Creativity and curiosity are always welcome in our therapy sessions! I have specialties in
personality disorders
, OCD, trauma, and Anger Management.
Finding a therapist is difficult, especially when you aren't sure what kind of therapy you even need. I've broken down common therapies on my website (as well as the ones I use) to help you better understand the jargon. Why continue to struggle when help is an email away? Life is hard at the best of times and for a lot of us, things have just gotten harder. And when we finally want to talk about it, well, someone always has it worse, right?

narcissistic
abuse by a spouse or family member? Have you been trauma bonded to a toxic person and are having a difficult time recovering.

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.
