I work with people struggling with balance, feeling a sense of meaning and fulfillment. Whatever their particular struggle, from interpersonal issues, trauma, changes in life, struggle with identity, emotive control and expression, and self-sabotage-to more extreme expressions of those issues resulting in self harm or suicidal thoughts, my goal is to help every person that I come in contact with build a life worth living. This is accomplished through targeted interventions tailored to that person, their concerns, personality and strengths.

I am currently only accepting new clients for Assessments (ADHD, learning disabilities, Autism, mood disorders, etc). Do you feel stuck, or at an impasse in your current life? Perhaps the use of a substance or a behavior has become a larger piece of your life than you wanted it to. It could be that anxiety or depression have kept you from achieving what you want, or being who you want to be. Maybe you’ve had a change in your life that’s been difficult to handle. Perhaps your child/teen is having difficulty at home or in school. I have experience working with clients of all ages, and tailor my approach to each individual.

I work with trauma, mood and personality disorders, and identity exploration—including LGBTQ and alternative communities.
You’ve been holding it together for a long time—and it’s exhausting. Maybe your emotions feel intense, your nervous system is constantly on edge, or trauma keeps showing up in ways that don't make sense. I work with adults who feel stuck in survival mode and want something to actually change. Using DBT, trauma-informed, and somatic approaches, we’ll help your mind and body find steadiness and build real skills. This is a space where you don’t have to explain or justify who you are—just show up as you are, exactly as you are. You don’t have to keep doing this alone. We’ll move at your pace, with curiosity—not judgment.

Change is hard. Life not working is harder. A million experiences have brought you to today...the good, the tragic and the unimaginably lovely. Within your experience is potential for success however you define it and no matter your origin, religion/spirituality, sexual orientation, gender, race, IQ, body size, education. Being human means we want good in our lives but sometimes get lost along the way. I have built my practice around compassionately normalizing human struggle and helping people create lives they want using their commitment to change along with their values and strengths.

I feel called to come alongside individuals wounded by painful life experiences (abuse, trauma, attachment injury) as well as individuals navigating life transitions that most, if not all, of us walk through (adulthood, marriage, illness, divorce, death. etc). I consider the healing process to be both sacred and deeply personal, so I work very hard to honor and appreciate the need to "tailor" individual's needs, abilities, and treatment objectives to their healing journey.

My clients come to me with diverse challenges. They all look different and have different experiences and perceptions. Life is not easy but I have an opportunity to walk along side my clients so they do not feel so alone.

We live in a fast paced world with many pressures and it is often easy to let this stressful world get the best of us. We forget to take care of ourselves, and before we know it we are experiencing anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, and many other issues. If left untreated these ailments can spiral out of control and leave us feeling overwhelmed, helpless and hopeless. If this sounds like you, and you have been experiencing some of these feelings, and you feel life has spun out of control, don't you think it's time to get back to life?

Life isn't what we imagined it would be - especially when we are faced with anxiety, depression, trauma, or conflict with people we care about. Meaning, peace, and belonging can feel unattainable on our dark days. If you are feeling disconnected from yourself, others, or the life you want to live, therapy could be your first step toward healing. It can help spark your imagination for how you want your life to be and initiate steps toward change. Your relationship with yourself and those you care about can experience a new start and you can begin living fully again.

Motherhood is beautiful; but from pregnancy to parenting, it’s not easy. Maybe you're holding your baby, wondering why you don’t feel “happy” yet. You’re afraid of not being "good enough" and you feel overwhelmed as you try to survive without sleep. Your expectations around labor and birth did not go to plan and you feel a loss that others don’t understand. Maybe you're pregnant now; filled with hormones, fear, and anxiety about the transition ahead. You want to prepare but don’t know where to start. Maybe you’re struggling to get pregnant, questioning and measuring everything, angry and afraid of hearing the word "infertility".

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.
