You may feel exhausted by the constant thoughts about food, body image, control, or self-worth. Maybe your eating disorder began as a way to cope, stay safe, feel in control, or manage overwhelming emotions...but now it feels like it’s taken over your life. What people see on the outside may not match the disconnection, anxiety, and shame you feel on the inside. Many of the clients I work with have spent years criticizing themselves, minimizing their pain, or feeling disconnected from their bodies and emotions.

If you or your child has been through something painful, it can show up in ways that are hard to explain: anxiety that feels hard to turn off, mood swings, shutting down, conflict at home, or feeling on edge even when life looks “fine.” I work with adolescents and adults who are tired of feeling stuck in survival mode. Together, we’ll build practical tools for the present while gently making sense of the experiences that may still be affecting you.

Walk Talk Therapy is just like it sounds-we are outdoors walking side by side during therapy instead of sitting inside an office. Walk Talk Therapy is a more relaxed environment than the counseling office. Walking while sharing your struggles and life situations can also be meditative. Research has consistently shown that exercise can significantly impact anxiety and stress while improving overall mood. I work with teens, adults, couples and families. If you're feeling stuck and disconnected from others, you have trouble sitting still or you want a new perspective, I welcome your email or phone call.

I work with adults whose struggles are long-standing rather than recent - people for whom the same painful patterns keep recurring across relationships, work, and earlier attempts at therapy. Often that means a personality disorder, chronic or treatment-resistant depression, or emotional pain entangled with substance use. Many of the people I see have been in treatment before, sometimes for years, and arrive wondering whether real change is possible. If you feel your concerns are too complicated or pervasive to address, or you've cycled through therapy without lasting improvement, then I'd love to work with you.

My ideal client is someone who’s feeling overwhelmed, maybe even stuck; whether from the weight of past trauma, the grind of anxiety and depression, or the challenges of navigating a world that hasn’t always been kind. They might be in survival mode, just trying to get through the day, or they might be further along and looking to understand themselves more deeply and grow. Many of the clients I work with are managing complex trauma, struggling with emotional regulation, or seeking healing from systems that have marginalized them; like the criminal justice system or societal pressures tied to race, gender, or identity.

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.
