Personality Disorders Therapists in Dallas, TX
I specialize in working with those who: Were diagnosed with ADHD or Autism in adulthood Were earlier labeled with mood, anxiety, or personality disorders that never fully fit Spent years masking, people-pleasing, or trying to "function normally" Feel burned out, emotionally overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves Are reprocessing their identity after learning they are neurodivergent
You look high-functioning—but you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and quietly wondering: am I autistic or ADHD? Maybe you’ve been overlooked, misdiagnosed, or told you’re “fine,” yet everything still feels harder than it should. You’ve spent years masking and pushing through burnout. Now you want clarity, self-understanding, and support that works with your brain—not more pressure to “try harder.”
I help high-functioning, late-diagnosed or questioning neurodivergent adults understand themselves, reduce burnout, and build lives that actually fit their needs.

It is a lonely experience to feel like a stranger to your own life. Many of us move through the world feeling deeply misunderstood, as if we are drifting through our days without a clear sense of who we actually are or where we are going. Whether rooted in past trauma or the quiet ways pain reshapes how we survive, if you feel lost, aimless, simply unseen, or in conflict with the people around you, I want you to know that there is a gentle, honest way back to your own heart.

I specialize in treating individuals that have personality disorders, chronic pain, infertility, LGBTQIA and complex trauma.
Counseling is best when it's personalized. There is no such things as a "one-size-fits-all" method to therapy. I have found that many of us have a combination of trauma and maladaptive behaviors that once explored and processed can dramatically improve the quality of life. I implement four cornerstone treatment approaches: EMDR, Mindful Movement, DBT(Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and expressive arts to calm the nervous system, resolve trauma and incorporate new behaviors.

Do you ever feel misunderstood, alone, or overwhelmed by your daily responsibilities? Therapy can be a great way to learn to build coping skills for your anxiety, depression, or any other mental health challenges you may be facing. Therapy can also help you set goals, work on boundary setting, communication skills, and processing past events that have left lasting marks in current relationships. It's important that I provide a safe space for my clients to express their feelings, needs, and wants to an unbiased person (me, the counselor) and that I can offer feedback that challenges them to grow and heal!

Whether you need Bipolar management or narcissistic abuse recovery, we regulate your system.
Welcome! You’re here because you or your partner is hurting.

But you don’t have to stay there. I help you escape the grip of trauma, depression, and complex challenges like Bipolar disorder or navigating narcissism. We hold pain in our bodies as tension—a physical echo of a nervous system that doesn’t feel safe. It no longer has to dictate how you love, parent, or work.

You know something isn’t working. Maybe it’s your mood, relationships, or the way you respond under stress. You’ve probably spent a lot of time thinking about it and may have a pretty good explanation for why it happens. But despite all that reflection, the same problems keep showing up. I work with people who feel stuck in patterns they can see but haven’t been able to change, especially when those patterns are rooted in earlier experiences, relationships, or unmet emotional needs. Often, the issue isn’t a lack of insight. It’s that the deeper emotional roots of the issue haven't been resolved.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD, disordered eating, and self-harm in adults and adolescents. I aim to guide you through conflict resolution and support your healing journey from trauma.
Much of the trauma I treat comes from narcissistic, borderline, or high-conflict parents, partners, and exes, and I've co-developed clinician training on high-conflict personalities in family law.
The people I work with are often capable, accomplished adults who still don't feel safe in their own lives. Many can't name a single traumatic event. What they have is years of it: a childhood where love was unpredictable, a relationship where they lost themselves, a vigilance that never switches off. It shows up as self-doubt, shame, people-pleasing, or numbness. They've often done therapy before and understand their story, but insight hasn't changed how they feel. They're ready for deeper work.

I also specialize in the treatment of treatment-resistant depression, anxiety-related disorders, and personality disorders.
I believe in developing a collaborative relationship between therapist and client, while fostering a safe, nonjudgmental environment that gives people the freedom to explore and understand their thoughts and feelings. I have found this to be the most essential component in helping people overcome their difficulties and develop their inner strength.

You’ve learned how to hold it all together.
You show up. You perform. You carry responsibility, meet expectations, and keep moving—because that’s what you’ve always done. On the outside, you’re dependable, capable, and strong. But internally, there’s a different experience—one that feels like constant pressure, quiet exhaustion, and a mind and body that rarely get to rest.
You may notice it in subtle ways. Difficulty slowing down. Feeling on edge even when nothing is wrong. Carrying tension in your body without realizing it. Pushing through stress until it turns into burnout.

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.
