I specialize in working with clients of all types, but specifically with those who deal with Anxiety, Depression, Transitions of Life, Personality Disorders, Stress Management, Trauma, and Self Esteem/Confidence Issues.
My ideal client deals with anxiety, depression, and low-self-esteem. They may also deal with fear of rejection, abandonment, and neglect. They have a difficult time being assertive, speaking up for themselves, asking for what they need, people pleasing, seeking external validation, fear of disappointing anyone, and perfectionism. They desire to prioritize themselves first, improve on communication, affirm themselves, establish healthy boundaries, and increase their self-esteem and confidence. They are wanting to improve their quality of life, so they are no longer taken advantage of and suffering in silence.

Instead of having to seek out a specialist to address co-occurring issues, I excel at untangling complex, overlapping issues including personality disorders, trauma, mental health diagnoses, and addictive behaviors.
Are you exhausted by your search for love and belonging, instead becoming entangled in self-sabotage and feelings of shame and self-doubt? Maybe you're trying to fill an emptiness inside, only to find that unhealthy habits are making things worse. Perhaps you're haunted by nightmares, flashbacks, or fragmented memories of a past you struggle to piece together. Or even worse, maybe your loved ones have expressed frustration, calling you "too much," while you only ever feel "not enough." Whatever has led you here, know that you are not alone, and healing is possible.

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.
