I specialize in addiction, trauma, personality disorders, anxiety, depression, codependency, and emotional regulation, using evidence-based and person-centered approaches to create lasting change.
You don't have to be in crisis to create a better life.

Whether you're struggling with addiction, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you identify what is holding you back and create a practical roadmap toward the life you want. I take a person-centered, nonjudgmental approach because I believe every individual already possesses strengths that can be uncovered and developed with the right support.

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.

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.
