I understand how hard it is to ask for help during one of life's challenges and I honor the courage it takes to begin the counseling process. I partner with clients by meeting each person where they are and by providing a safe, non-judgmental therapuetic space to work through problems, process feelings and find solutions. I provide a sounding board and empowerment to each person by using sense of humor, direct communication and a strong, diverse counseling skill set to help individuals reach their goals.

In my 60+ years I have personally experienced a lot of things that my clients share with me. I am able to empathize or and the very least identify with my clients needs. My approach is Person/Client Centered; Person-centered therapy uses a non-authoritative approach that allows clients to take more of a lead in discussions so that, in the process, they will discover their own solutions. The therapist acts as a compassionate facilitator, listening without judgment and acknowledging the client’s experience without moving the conversation in another direction. The therapist is there to encourage and support the client.

Somewhere along the way, you learned who you needed to be to be loved. Maybe that meant hiding your needs, dulling your sensitivity, or putting yourself last. You may still feel the echoes of those messages in your relationships, in your body, and in the way you talk to yourself when no one else is around. Maybe you feel tired of performing, questioning your worth, and feeling somehow both too much and not enough.

Our experiences, both positive and negative, shape who we are, but we don't have to stay stuck where we are. I believe that the opportunity for significant change occurs in healthy relationships; and that healthy relationships are built on trust, mutual respect, and cooperation. In my practice, I seek to create an environment that allows a healthy therapeutic relationship to develop, which can then be a model that my patients can apply to their relationships outside of the therapeutic environment. If you choose to see me as your therapist, you can expect empathy, compassion, respect, and professionalism.

I work with clients who are in a transitional season and trying to figure out what comes next. You may be adjusting to more independence, pressure around school or career, loneliness, family expectations, cultural pressure, or the stress of doing something new on your own. I work with teens, young adults, and adults to help those who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, overthinking, changing responsibilities, and the weight of trying to balance boundaries, identity, relationships, and everyday life.

You and your partner are driven, capable, and deeply committed, but the stress of balancing demanding careers, home life, and emotional connection is starting to take a toll. Many high-achieving couples, especially attorneys, creatives, and professionals, find themselves running on empty, stuck in the same arguments, or feeling emotionally disconnected despite caring deeply about one another. When burnout and work-life imbalance pile up, the relationship often becomes another place where stress shows up instead of support.

I spend my days creating space for topics that feel risky and at times foreign but create immense reward. We are all imperfect humans who make mistakes, care too much, and blame ourselves far too often. Learning about yourself is the greatest gift to enhance how you experience life.
We can't 'get rid of' of depression, anxiety, grief or regret. But we can work with these heavier experiences and learn how to carry them differently. I like to incorporate somatics, role playing, writing, and other experiential forms of therapy into practice. We can't be 'happy' all the time, but we can learn to be fully alive in the present.

I live by the idea that giving up on a goal because of a setback is like slashing your other three tires because you have a flat.

My role is to help you navigate those moments with resilience, compassion, and practical tools as we work together toward meaningful, lasting change.

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.
