Something has to change — you feel it, even if you're not sure where to start. Maybe your child is struggling in ways that worry you. Maybe anxiety, depression, or the weight of past experiences is making everyday life harder than it should be. Or maybe you and your partner keep having the same painful conversations without ever really getting through to each other.
Our intern therapists see clients ages 5 through adulthood, working with ADHD, neurodivergence, depression, life transitions, and disconnected couples — meeting each person with curiosity, care, and evidence-informed tools to help you move forward.

What if the patterns that are holding you back were once the very ones that helped you feel safe? Our earliest experiences shape how we see ourselves, relationships, and the world around us. We develop ways of coping, protecting, and surviving that may have once served us well. However, over time, those same patterns can become heavy to carry. You may know logically that something needs to change, yet emotionally feel unable to move forward. Therapy can help us understand these patterns, uncover what is beneath them, and create space for insight, healing, and growth.

Sometimes the hardest part is realizing things do not have to stay this way. Stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, or a major transition can start to affect sleep, relationships, confidence, and your sense of direction. Many people come in wanting relief, but also wanting to understand themselves better and make changes that last. Therapy can be a place to sort through what is weighing on you, regain clarity, and move forward with greater purpose and intention.

Are you wanting more from yourself and life? Many of our struggles come from either past or current trauma. Trauma can then lead to poor boundaries, low self-esteem, negative beliefs and patterns of behavior that continue to hurt us. Oftentimes we know what is best for our lives, but we've been conditioned to believe we are undeserving. Whether this belief has been created from religious experiences, our family of origin, or society we will work together to bring about hope and healing. Choosing who to share your story with is an important and personal decision. I am here to provide a welcoming and supportive space.

When past experiences go unresolved, they often surface in our relationships. My clients often experience with intense reactions, shutting down, fearing abandonment, or feeling anxious and disconnected without fully understand why. Or they might understand what’s happening on an intellectual level, yet still feel stuck trying to find deeper change. My approach to therapy is relational and deeply grounded in attunement. Being truly seen and understood is a big piece of this work. I go beyond surface level, hold the heavy stuff with you, and make sure to not only help make sense of it all..but actually get to the root.

Therapy is an experience that I have seen from both sides, as a client and clinician. This is why my approach comes from an empathic, relative point of view. My belief is that a client knows more about what they need better than anyone else. However, we all need guidance and assistance at times to help unlock our potential. I have learned that each client has their own set of core beliefs, maladaptive coping skills, and a significant barrier to obtaining the life we deserve. As a result, we can work to change these unhealthy behaviors one may use to numb and escape feelings that are destructive and harmful together.

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.
