We've all have some type of trauma in our life, whether it be something that affected us for a couple days, or something that we cannot stop thinking about after so many years.

I am here to create a safe and confidential environment for you to process your emotions.

We all view the world through a lens shaped by our personal history, environment, and expectations. But life’s challenges such as trauma, grief, or chronic stress can cloud or distort that lens, leaving us feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I believe we each have an innate resilience, even when our perspective feels foggy, scratched, or shattered. My therapeutic work is grounded in a holistic, integrative approach, helping you explore how you’ve navigated life so far and what strengths you can build on to move forward with clarity and purpose. I specialize in helping clients reclaim clarity, confidence, and connection at their own pace.

Life can feel incredibly heavy at times, and it can feel like it won't let up. You may be struggling with anxiety, trauma, or patterns that persist despite your best efforts. It might be hard to put into words what you are experiencing, whether you are new to therapy or have been in it before. You deserve a space where your symptoms are not treated as a problem to be solved, but where you are seen as a person who needs a safe place to land. My goal is to help you build the tools and self-understanding needed to navigate daily life with more ease.

Therapy is a tool to help a person become the best version of themselves. Trauma, stress, unhealthy relationships, poor coping skills, emotional dys-regulation are all factors that contribute to being unwell. Counseling allows a person to work through those barriers and improve the way that they manage stress, find healthy ways to express emotions, work through trauma that has caused you harm, build tools to have healthy, productive, relationships with others and ultimately find alternate ways to cope with distressing events within our lives. A counselor is not only a therapist, but a guide and facilitator of growth.

Life in today’s world so often feels like it’s moving too fast. Do you ever feel worn out, frustrated, sad, or anxious? Does your mind endlessly race? Do you struggle to take time for yourself? Maybe you just need an impartial person to talk to? If you’re wrestling with these issues, now might be the right time for therapy. My time in the field has taught me everyone needs therapy at some point in their life. Some of the tools I can use to help are Dialectical Behavior Therapy (in which I've been intensively trained), the Fairytale Model/Progressive Counting (a trauma therapy), as well as just helping people examine how they think.

Sometimes our lives can seem out of balance. Our relationships may feel strained or stuck. We may notice our thoughts racing. Maybe we are confused about who we are and where we fit in. When this happens, we may turn to unhealthy ways of coping.

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.
