If you’ve been trying to hold everything together but still feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or stuck, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to walk this path by yourself. For over 20 years, I’ve walked alongside people from all backgrounds navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, church hurt, ministry burnout, identity struggles, grief, and seasons of transition. Many come to me feeling exhausted, discouraged, or unsure of their next step. At Summit Services Group, I provide a safe, compassionate space for healing, growth, and personal transformation.

There is a time in all our lives when it feels that nobody understands, somebody fails to listen, and we feel we have to figure it out by ourselves and that doesn't work either. Finding yourself in that desperate place is an appropriate time to tell your story to a therapist who desires to listen and help you understand where you've been and come along side you to assist you in knowing where you want to go. Courageously step toward the therapy process and embrace the hope that reminds you that you don't have to stay stuck or remain in the dark.

Overwhelmed and stressed by the thought of being "Superwoman" again? Time after time, you find yourself rescuing others and putting others before you. Leaving absolutely no time for yourself. Tired of constantly being the "Strong One?" Leaving yourself feeling drained and unfulfilled. At work, you go above and beyond but it goes unnoticed. At home, your days are filled with tasks that take up your entire day but you still feel unappreciated. Personally, you have told yourself that staying busy, overextending yourself and being the "Strong One" equals your success, value and worth.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, low confidence, or feeling stuck in your own head, I’m here to help. I’m a real, down-to-earth guy and I want sessions with me to feel like you’re hanging out with someone who actually gets you. I work with men and women who deal with self-loathing, overthinking, social anxiety, and the pressure to look like they have it all together. My style is relaxed, nonjudgmental, and honest. I’ll listen closely, empathize fully, and, when it helps you grow, I’ll gently call you out on the patterns that aren’t serving you.

You put on a brave face and constantly show up for others but neglect your own needs. You have been conditioned to say “everything is fine” and hide how you really feel. Sometimes you may even feel like you don’t deserve joy.

As a therapist, I believe that everyone has a right to the type of care that is best suited for them. Once we decide to work together, we will determine what the best therapeutic approach is for you. Together, we can find the balance between acceptance and change. Therapy enables you to "build a life worth living." DBT skills-based training is my favorite approach as it includes the four main skill modules: mindfulness, distress tolerance (coping when things are really going terrible), emotion regulation (identifying and expressing emotions), and interpersonal effectiveness (relationship skills).

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.
