You are highly capable and self-aware, but intelligence can’t always "think" its way out of an emotional loop. For many, analytical over-thinking is a survival strategy that causes more fatigue than clarity, fueling cycles of anxiety and depression.
You don't need me to tell them what to think; I am here to help move beyond knowing what to do to actual change. We will bridge the gap between insight and integration to help you feel as good as you "know" you should. Let’s turn your self-awareness into a tool for transformation rather than exhaustion.

Hello, I know connecting with a new therapist can be scary at first, whether it's your first time or you've been in therapy before. I am here to work with you to decide what feels right for you. I believe you are the expert on your own life, only you know how things feel and work for you. I work primarily with women over the age of 20 who have anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship issues, and personality disorders. I also work with women who have no idea what their issues are, only that life is difficult for them, they're going through a transition phase, or are unsure about where to go.

Life can be overwhelming sometimes, but you don’t have to navigate your healing journey alone! While making yourself vulnerable may seem scary, it is also one of the strongest indicators of courage. When faced with overwhelming emotions, it can feel comfortable to avoid those feelings; however, comfort and courage cannot exist at the same time.

Listen, life is a lot sometimes! I think one of the main issues people struggle with today is cultivating resiliency, and therefore my focus in therapy has always been toward empowerment and strengthening clients from a multi-systems approach. I believe positive mental health and a strong self-care routine are a valuable asset to individual growth, and that therapy isn't meant to just be a reactive form of treatment, but one that is a regular part of all our routines.

I rely on my faith, an integrative education, and continual study of Ericksonian Hypnosis (please ask). My 30yr marriage to Jennifer, who has similar training in marriage & family therapy, and 4 kids all add greatly to my knowledge, awareness, and experience. Bridging good science, spirituality, and responsible religion, perhaps, while assisting my clients to recognize their resources defines my role as therapist. Very intelligent people seek therapy when it seems they have tried everything they know; yet, the struggle continues. Some seek therapy for help in discerning their options. It is not meant for us to do this alone.

I currently have limited space for new clients. For therapy to be effective, it must be an open and collaborative approach that is built on trust. The first step toward change is huge and can be intimidating. Together, we can work to identify potential solutions and map out ways to navigate the changes you are seeking. As a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience, I have extensive experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults on issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, burnout, sport performance, and other more serious concerns.

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.
