I work with high‑functioning adults and professionals who want clarity—not therapy. My clients come to me when they’re navigating burnout, ADHD/executive function concerns, trauma patterns, workplace stress, or leadership challenges and need evaluator‑grade insight. I provide structured psychological assessments, personality and leadership profiling, workplace functional evaluations, and psychological coaching for growth and performance. I also accept employer‑provided professional development funds. I do not provide WAIS testing, neuropsych evaluations, or crisis response.

Feeling stuck? In pain? People typically seek counseling because they are stuck in repetitive negative cycles and want help getting unstuck. These patterns often include issues with anxiety, depression, problems managing "big feelings" and/or issues with relationships. They can have their roots in trauma and neglect. I have significant experience working with teenagers, adults, and couples. I work primarily from an emotion focused, relational perspective to help people get "unstuck" from these negative cycles and create more positive ones. I am a trauma informed therapist.

As human beings, being connected is one of our primary needs. When we lose connection (for some it never happened in the beginning); life seems to spiral in uncomfortable directions. Fear, anxiety, relationship conflict, loneliness, depression, and grief make it difficult to find purpose; to develop sustainable relationships; and to navigate our complicated lives.

Understanding emotional boundaries, not owning others issues and accepting the fact that the more true we are to our own truth the happier we are regardless of our circumstances are foundational in my practice. I truly believe in each person's ability to grow and reach for joy and fulfillment.

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.
