What the hell is even happening right now?” Maybe your mind’s on overdrive replaying the past, worrying about what’s next, or just trying to hold it all together. You’ve taken deep breaths, listened to podcasts, and read books, but it’s still exhausting. Anxiety’s running high. You’re snapping at the people you care about. Some days, even getting out of bed feels like too much. You want to feel calm, connected, and in control, but no matter how hard you try, it keeps slipping through your fingers.

I work with individuals, teens, couples, and families struggling with emotional overwhelm, relationship conflict, attachment wounds, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, and painful relational patterns.
Despite insight, self-awareness, or previous therapy, you may still feel stuck in painful relationship patterns, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, self-criticism, instability, or cycles you cannot seem to break. Most of the people I work with are thoughtful and emotionally aware, yet continue to struggle with fear of abandonment, intense relationships, low self-worth, mood swings, or chronic emptiness. I help clients understand and change the deeper emotional and relational patterns driving these experiences so they can build healthier relationships, greater emotional stability, and a stronger sense of self.

I work with clients who may be struggling with addiction, personality disorders, or trauma.
As a clinician, I believe in meeting clients where they are, identifying their strengths and barriers, in order to assist in developing a personalized plan for treatment and life management. I do not believe in a “cookie-cutter” method, and I am very open to exploring new methods and using multiple approaches to help each client individually. I assist my clients with understanding their behavior patterns and the changes they want to make while in treatment. Being in therapy means some form of change. Change can be different from client to client because each client has unique needs.

I help clients navigate trauma, PTSD, mood and personality disorders, anxiety, depression, and behavioral concerns.
You may look like you’re handling everything on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted. You might be carrying unresolved trauma, relationship stress, or the weight of always being “the strong one.” You want relief, clarity, and peace-not just coping, but real healing. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to explore what’s holding you back and move forward with confidence, self-compassion, and hope.

Throughout my journey, I’ve learned how important it is for clients to feel truly seen, safe, and respected in the therapy space. For me, building a genuine relationship always comes first, and I strive to create a welcoming, empathetic, and compassionate environment.

I have been a licensed clinical psychologist for 30+ years. As a generalist clinician i provide outpatient services to adult clients with wide variety of concern. I believe it is imperative to understand an individual with the approach of knowing I am a new part of their system. As we work together, we will explore who you currently are, what developed you into this individual, and discover where you want to move towards with the ultimate goal of finding your authentic self.

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.
