As a professional counselor licensed in 2010 and in private practice since 2015, I enjoy working with clients seeking a healthy balance in their lives. Working as a team, I find that the clients benefit most from collaboration to restore areas in their lives that are disjointed. My approach is practical, down-to-earth, and very nurturing. I provide services to adolescents and adults in individual, groups, couples, or family settings. I also offer anger management, grief counseling, and specialize in mindfulness techniques. My professional experience has also afforded me the opportunity to reunite families through the Department of Family Protective Services.

This includes diagnostic clarity (ADHD, trauma, personality disorders) and documentation to support accommodations when appropriate.
You spend so much of your life holding it together for everyone else that it can be disorienting to realize you're not holding up as well as you'd intended. You’re exhausted, emotionally reactive, disconnected, or no longer sure what you actually need. Family relationships leave you feeling unseen or trapped in old roles. "Setting boundaries" isn't as easy as others make it seem. The pressure to perform in both your personal and professional worlds never really turns off, and even your “rest” feels consumed by responsibility and overthinking. If you’re quietly carrying it all, therapy can be a place to reset.

Do you feel like you're constantly fighting an internal battle—between holding it all together and wanting to just let it all fall apart? Many of the individuals I work with are high-functioning on the outside but feel emotionally overwhelmed on the inside. You might struggle with perfectionism, burnout, emotional ups and downs, or a persistent sense of disconnection. Even when you’ve built a life that “should” make you happy, it can still feel like something is missing—or like you’re faking it just to get through the day. This inner conflict can take a real toll on your relationships, your goals, and your self-worth.

Life inevitably brings us painful feelings, thoughts, and experiences that we often respond to by trying to suppress, run away from, avoid, or numb ourselves. This may result in struggles such as addiction, anxiety, depression, self-harm, eating disorders, etc., and may cause us to lash out at our loved ones or act in ways we do not feel good about. My clinical approach is inspired by the concept that we cannot always “get rid of” painful parts of our lives or the things outside our control, but what we can do is work to develop a different relationship with them so that they come to have less influence or power over us day to day.

I have over 15-years experience in evaluating children, adolescents and adults with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, personality disorders, psychosis, trauma (physical and psychological), and learning disorders.
While training at The Menninger Clinic, I found psychological testing to be an invaluable part of the treatment process. However, this component is often underused in outpatient settings. Therefore, my goal is to provide high quality evaluations to outpatients, with as much care and respect as those offered to inpatients.

I have witnessed the value of resilience through healing. In my practice, I work with clients to offer individualized treatment to who you are as person, rather than cookie cutter services.

You are not crazy for getting the help you need. You deserve to heal. Your community needs you to heal so you can give back in a healthy way. Your healing is your community healing.

Do you struggle with the loss of your sense of self that impairs day-to-day functioning? Do you feel overwhelmed by the thought that there’s no light at the end of the tunnel? Are you curious if life could feel more enjoyable?

Nobody comes to therapy because they need someone to tell them to “think positive.” They come because they’re tired. Tired of anxiety calling the shots. Tired of repeating the same relationship patterns. Tired of carrying things they were never meant to carry alone.
Life is complicated enough. Understanding yourself shouldn’t be. My job is to help you make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface and give you practical tools you can actually use long after our sessions end.
No two people are the same, so no two sessions are either. We focus on what you need most that day while never losing sight of where you’re trying to go.

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.
