You might be the kind of person who holds everything together on the outside but feels worn out on the inside. Maybe anxiety, grief, or past experiences keep looping in your mind, or you are a parent watching your child or teen struggle and not knowing how to help. You want more than just venting; you want someone calm, steady, and practical who can help you understand what is going on and what to do next. You are hoping for clear tools, honest feedback, and a place where your values and beliefs are respected, not argued with. Most of all, you want life to feel more manageable again, for you or for your child.

I believe that people deserve to be wholly well. I aim to help people fall in love with the life they are living. If you frequently feel as though you are walking through the motions of life and are just existing, you deserve more. If you feel like you can’t break the cycles that constantly set you back, you deserve freedom. You deserve to wake up excited and content with your life.

Many of my clients come to me after trying therapy before and feeling like something was missing. They’ve gained insight… but the anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional patterns are still there. That’s where my approach is different. I combine Rapid Resolution Therapy, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness-based techniques to help resolve the root cause of what you’re experiencing—so you’re not just coping, you’re actually changing. This work doesn’t require you to relive painful experiences or analyze your past over and over. Instead, we work with how your mind naturally processes information to create shifts that feel fast, natural, and last

My counseling philosophy begins by receiving clients with unconditional positive regard and creating a compassionate environment where clients feel safe and supported as they seek to navigate the difficulties of life. Complicated life experiences can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, and potentially learned helplessness that negatively impact our self-worth and behaviors in a profound way. I believe that engaging in therapy can increase human capacity for a richer, more meaningful life by clarifying our values and determining what is truly purposeful and fulfilling for our life.

Since 2008, I've worked in both non-profit community mental health and very much for-profit private practice, which means I've gotten to work with all kinds of clients from different backgrounds and age groups to help address a remarkably broad spectrum of problems and concerns. Most of my work has been, and will continue to be, with young people- and while I've certainly loved every other minute of that, I am always eager (and occasionally desperate) to talk to another adult. My goal is for my clients to feel as comfortable and understood as possible, as soon as possible. From there, we can get to work.

Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists
What is the most successful approach to treating borderline personality disorder?
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is considered the gold standard of treatment for borderline personality disorder. An evidence-based treatment, it addresses the extreme emotional reactivity, the relationship difficulties, and the acts of self-harm that create so much distress for BPD patients. DBT is a comprehensive program that includes both regular individual psychotherapy sessions and weekly group sessions of skills training.

What happens in treatment of borderline personality disorder?
Treatment typically consists of weekly individual therapy sessions that last an hour and group skill-focused instructional sessions that may last up to two hours. Patients are typically given homework “assignments” in which they are asked to practice in their daily life the skills they acquire in therapy. Patients also keep a diary tracking their emotions and impulses as a way to know which situations are most problematic and to help them gain control over their own behavior. Difficult situations and feelings are typically reviewed in therapy sessions and more constructive solutions found.

What kinds of problems does BPD treatment help with?
DBT was initially developed to dampen the self-destructive impulses of chronically suicidal patients. It is now the treatment of choice for borderline personality disorder, a serious condition marked by extreme emotional reactivity, relationship instability, and self-injurious behaviors. Treatment of BPD helps patients tolerate the flux of emotions without acting on them, often with a specific focus on tolerating negative emotions. DBT addresses the core problems of BPD—fear of abandonment, low self-esteem, and impulsivity.

What is the goal of treatment in borderline personality disorder?
The goal of treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD) is to relieve the extreme emotional distress that patients experience—to curb their emotional reactivity, to minimize their inclination to self-harm, and to reduce their impulsivity. Toward these ends, patients are not only taught an array of new coping skills and techniques for emotional regulation, they are given opportunities to practice them. Another major goal of treatment is interpersonal effectiveness; patients learn and problem-solve ways to effectively communicate in relationships, especially how to ask for what they need as a way to minimize hurt feelings.
