Schererville, IN 46375
I specialize in conducting therapy and psychological evaluations with adults having mental health, legal, and substance abuse problems. I help individuals change unhelpful thinking patterns by recognizing inflexible demands they place on themselves, the world, and others. My therapeutic style helps individuals learn how to dispute beliefs causing negative emotional and behavioral consequences. Clients learn they have the ability to change and control their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, with the underlying goal of helping the client become his or her own therapist.

Schererville, IN 46375
People come to therapy with wounds. And it is in these wounds that the light shines through. In therapy, we learn we need not fear the places where one feels stuck, overwhelmed or enslaved. My approach to psychotherapy is holistic, integrating mind body and spirit, through a variety of modalities. My diverse background has deepened my understanding for those wrestling with existential, spiritual and religious belonging, life transitions, sexual orientation, relational challenges and childhood traumas.

However, I have several years of experience serving individuals and families struggling with attachment disorders, personality disorders, communication, marriage, PTSD, unresolved childhood trauma, work-life balance, and parenting issues.
Let's face it, sometimes life is challenging. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed in areas of life that were supposed to be simple. Normal stress seems more stressful especially with work, school and daily demands. Sometimes the people we love the most (friends and family) don't quite understand what to say or do to help and what they DO say makes it worse. Everyone has some experience and/or issue that is keeping them from living the life they always wanted. I have a very eclectic approach to therapy. I believe we are all unique individuals with unique situations. There isn't a "perfect therapy" approach that works for everyone.

My ideal client is strong, smart, and self-aware—but secretly exhausted. They’ve survived more than most people know, yet keep finding themselves in the same loops of overwhelm, conflict, or self-doubt. They need more than a listening ear; they need honest feedback, practical skills, and a clear path forward. Their goal is to stop reacting from old wounds, set boundaries without guilt, and rebuild their resilience so they feel at home in their own skin. They want lasting change because the constant effort to “get it right” has started to wear down their hope.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying the weight of anxiety, depression, past trauma, chronic pain or illness, addiction, or grief. My ideal client is someone who feels stuck, exhausted, or disconnected—longing for clarity, healing, and a sense of peace. They may be struggling to cope day-to-day, or they might be functioning on the outside but feeling lost on the inside. What they want most is to feel understood, to reconnect with themselves, and to find a way forward that feels authentic and sustainable.

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.
