Hello, my name is Violet. I work with individuals, couples and families who may be struggling with something that they need to change, or who just need to engage in thinking differently about a problem. I am not here to judge anyone, I practice from the perspective that we all deal with things the best that we can, and when we learn better strategies, we do better. Let me help you to learn better strategies.

I help you to see your symptoms as a meaningful response to concerns that you have about your life and yourself. I help you become aware of what is keeping you from living the way you want to live. I help you to get clear about what you want in the way of love, work (expressing yourself) and enjoyment of life and to use your thoughts, feelings, intentions, talents and strengths to get on a path towards satisfying those desires. I help people heal from trauma. I don't believe drugs are good treatment and will help you withdraw from them.

Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here. Seeking support is a meaningful step, and I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can exhale, feel understood, and reconnect with yourself. Perhaps you’ve been carrying the weight of expectations, navigating a difficult season, feeling overwhelmed, or simply sensing that something in life no longer feels aligned. You may appear strong on the outside while quietly carrying stress, uncertainty, or emotional exhaustion.

I draw on a range of evidenced-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method, I tailor our work to what fits you-your history, your nervous system, and your goals. Whether you're working through the aftermath of trauma, trying to make sense of recurring relationship patterns, or simply feeling like something needs to change, I'll meet you where you are.

Summer often brings a natural pause: a chance to reset, reflect, and make space for support. Therapy can offer a steady, collaborative place to better understand what you’re carrying and begin moving toward meaningful change. I work with clients navigating anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, identity questions, and patterns that feel difficult to shift. My style is warm, thoughtful, and grounded. Together, we’ll explore what’s been feeling stuck, build insight, and identify practical ways to support you. I am actively completing advanced training in sex therapy and offer support to individuals and couples.

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.
