If the weight you carry feels too heavy to put into words — or you're stuck in patterns that won't budge — you don't have to figure it out alone. I work with first responders and others in high-stress, high-stakes roles who are running on empty. Adults living with bipolar disorder, psychosis, or other complex conditions that many therapists shy away from. And people moving through intense, overwhelming seasons when life feels like too much. Wherever you're starting, you'll find a steady, judgment-free place to set the weight down and move forward.

Helping people begin to show up in their own lives, sometimes after years of disconnection, is one of my greatest passions and privileges. That passion has led me to the study of trauma and addiction because of the role each play in disconnecting us from ourselves and those around us. Trauma can include everything from life-threatening events to the sometimes more subtle experiences of woundedness that can occur through ordinary family and social interactions across a lifetime. Gerald May says that addiction can be anything that “bonds and enslaves the energy of desire to certain specific behaviors, things, or people".

With more than 10 years of experience, over the years I’ve been able to connect with adults who feel emotionally overwhelmed yet uncertain how to put their experiences into words. Many are navigating addiction, stress, grief, depression, or major life transitions and feel disconnected from themselves or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Therapy is an active process where we connect, grow, and rebuild together. If you’re ready to rebuild, let’s start the conversation.

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.
