I firmly believe that the most curative aspect of psychotherapy is the relationship between therapist and client. I believe that all people are searching for a corrective emotional experience of some kind, and it is my primary role as therapist to provide the space and safety to make this experience possible. My approach to client work is gentle and compassionate and always non-judgmental. I draw from several therapeutic modalities in my work, including Psychodynamic, Gestalt, and CBT. I am adept at working with clients with mood, eating, and personality disorders , as well as issues related to developmental trauma and identity.

I have years of experience working with people with and without disabilities experiencing anxiety, depression, personality disorders .
My approach to working with clients is to create a welcoming environment where the pace is guided by you. Through verbal and non-verbal communication, we can move toward creating a clearer mind space. We often get there by processing feelings through art-making, imagery, and sometimes humor. You do not have to be an artist to benefit from working with an art therapist. So much of therapy is to discover feelings and decide if they are wanted or not. These are the first steps toward building awareness.

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.
