You’ve maintained this far. You keep pushing: just one more dish, one more email, one more day until the weekend. You’re holding on by a thread and you feel ready to unravel. The typical things you do to ‘reboot’ aren’t working. You feel disconnected, off, worn incredibly thin, and are very aware that this feeling is just lurking under the surface. With years of experience in mental health and a passion for helping people regain their inner strength, you can escape that slow drowning feeling you are currently experiencing. You are the expert of your life, even if right now you feel anything but, and I can help you find that path.

As a clinician, I am passionate about helping others with depression, OCD, anxiety and trauma get past problems such as missing out on social connections and events or interfering with one's ability to work or go to school. I also have experience with mood disorders, which can lead to feeling stuck and feeling weighed down by things going wrong. It's a myth that struggling is not a normal part of life or that it's something to be ashamed of. I can help by providing knowledge and skills to become persistent and resilient in order to get around setbacks and roadblocks and find a life worth living.

Feeling unheard, overwhelmed by anxiety, or shaken by past trauma is deeply painful and overwhelming. Maybe your body tightens, worry takes over, or memories replay when you least expect them. With focused work, anxiety and trauma symptoms, including PTSD reactions, can lessen, and life can feel more manageable. Trauma, PTSD, and anxiety often affect sleep, relationships, and your sense of safety; my work helps people process these events and regain steadiness. Together, we will cultivate practical skills to reduce stress, manage intrusive memories, and strengthen day-to-day coping ability.

Sometimes the weight we carry isn't from one big moment — it's years of small wounds and hard seasons that quietly shape the way we move through the world. You've tried to move forward, but the same patterns keep surfacing: the anxiety, the distance in your relationships, the sense of being stuck in a life that doesn't quite fit. You don't have to keep pushing through alone. I work with adults facing chronic mental health challenges, PTSD, trauma, and relationship or family difficulties who are ready to stop going through the motions and reconnect to your most authentic self.

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.
