I am an art therapist who specializes in working with preteens, teens, and adults navigating ADHD, trauma, mood disorders, personality disorders, and legal involvement.
Many clients I work with feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, alienated, lonely, guilty, and disconnected. They may be stuck in patterns that no longer serve them and struggle with understanding the "why" behind their thoughts, feelings, and actions. Some of my clients come to therapy due to circumstances outside of their control, such as being parent-referred or court-ordered. These clients may feel guarded, skeptical, and disengaged. Regardless of referral source, some common goals are better self-understanding, increased emotional awareness, and greater control over their responses.

I have taught and researched issues of personality disorders and couple relationships, particularly as those are shaped by transmission of cultural trends across generations.
I want to work with you if you’re facing long-standing personality issues or relationship struggles growing out of them. Though not a psychoanalyst, I am strongly informed by psychoanalytic theory, particularly object relations and intersubjectivity. I like to work with individuals once or twice a week over periods of at least a year or two, and weekly with couples, focusing on the overlap between emotional issues that arise in the therapy room, in your life outside of therapy, and in your family of origin. I'm interested in concerns growing out of cultural difference, religious commitment, and immigration.

I am an Independently Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field providing direct, clinical services to individuals, families and couples. In my experience, I have found that people are reluctant to engage in therapy out of fear of change, avoidance of emotional pain and the uncertainty of how to heal and evolve. Therapy should be about finding opportunities for positive change and growth in the areas of your life which you wish to improve upon. It is my hope that when any client walks into my office, they feel comfortable, relaxed and have the space to be vulnerable.

We all face times when we know we want something different for ourselves, but we don’t exactly know what. We know that the world is changing, that we might need to change too, or maybe even learn how to tolerate uncomfortable feelings that change can bring. Maybe there are parts of your life that feel unmanageable or downright difficult. Change can feel overwhelming, and at the same time we can experience new and exciting parts of life as we go through these transitions and challenges.

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.
