You’ve done the talking. You understand your patterns. But something deeper still feels stuck. I help clients move beyond insight and into real emotional healing using Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. My approach is depth-oriented, trauma-informed, and designed for people who are ready to stop just coping and start transforming the root of what’s been carrying pain, anxiety, shame, or disconnection for years. Healing is possible when we work with the nervous system, not against it.

Depression, anxiety, personality disorders, eating disorders, and the lingering effects of past trauma can feel defeating.
I am passionate about helping my clients be successful! Many of us have ideals about what we want our lives to look like, fulfilling relationships, a sense of purpose, and a trajectory to reach our goals. And still we get stuck more than we need to. We walk through proverbial minefields trying not to misstep, often due to ineffective communication and behavioral patterns. Where did we learn these? Some genetics, some environment. The result may be depression, anxiety, personality challenges and an inability to experience healthy attachment. Acute or chronic trauma, past or present sometimes adds to the challenge of the life we want.

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.
