My work is grounded in deep respect for autonomy, and I believe strongly in every person’s capacity to grow, heal, and change.

The privacy of our emotional suffering can be painful. Not being able to share our innermost thoughts and feelings makes it difficult to have more meaningful relationships and to experience ourselves in a way that is life-enhancing. Having taken this first step to begin psychotherapy means that a part of you has chosen a personal path of healing. Talking with a psychoanalyst, someone who understands the complexities of the emotional world, will bring to life your pains, desires, and conflicts within a non-judgemental process that is both soothing and life-changing.

Many people come to therapy because something in their life or relationships just doesn't feel right. Sometimes people come to therapy with questions of identity or purpose, unsure of themselves and feeling the need for change. Sometimes it's hard to say exactly what the problem is, even if the pain is impossible to ignore. Many of my patients are looking to make changes in their lives, to struggle less, and to understand who they are more fully. I work with adolescents and adults who are thoughtful, collaborative, and who are looking to go beyond just insight and superficial fixes.

Have you been feeling like something is missing from your life? Maybe you find that you lack a sense of true connection in your relationships, or you are not living your authentic, best self. Functioning & flourishing are not synonymous and shouldn't be. Moving towards emotional freedom can be challenging, but ultimately deeply rewarding.

The need to feel heard and understood exists within all of us and is vital to thrive in life. Without this need being met, you can find yourself struggling with feeling disconnected from others, weighed down by depression, held back by traumatic memories, overwhelmed by worry and fear, or stuck in your life while it seems as if everyone else is passing you by. Holding your story with great care, I can offer you a safe haven so that you can reach your own healing and a sense of empowerment in your life.

My therapy style is integrative, empowering, and relational. I do not believe in a "one-size-fits-all" treatment approach. I primarily work with individual adults (18+) navigating burnout, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and interpersonal stress. While individual therapy is my main focus, I also offer sessions for couples and small family pairings (such as siblings or parents-adult child relationships) on a case-by-case basis, depending on fit and availability. I do not offer therapy for children or teens.

Maybe you feel like you “should” be feeling more in control, more confident or more fulfilled than you currently do. Maybe you have an idea of the reason for that feeling, but you are unsure how to address it.

Symptoms might point to our past, to the core conflicts which set limits on personal growth, but they're also a source of very real distress and difficulty in the present. I strive to balance analytic listening—equally for what isn’t as for what is said—with clinical pragmatism in pursuing treatment goals with a sense of urgency, while never foreclosing on opportunities for exploration. I use the breadth of skills at my disposal to attenuate, but not altogether dispense with, anxieties that speak to deeper, persistent issues which keep patients from flourishing or from feeling, and being, more fully themselves.

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.
