I work with adults who sense that their current struggles are tied to deeper and long‑standing patterns. Many come to me when earlier attachment experiences, relational dynamics, or internal conflicts begin to surface in ways they can no longer ignore. I work from a psychodynamic lens, which focuses on understanding the underlying psychic structure, including the organization of personality, its conflicts, and the enduring patterns that shape present difficulties. Through an exploratory and relational process, we observe these patterns in real time and develop the insight needed for meaningful change and growth.

You look like you’re holding it together — but inside, you’re exhausted. Maybe anxiety is constantly running in the background. Maybe past trauma still shows up in your body, even when you try to “move on.” Maybe your teen is struggling with shame, social anxiety, or confidence — and you don’t know how to help. You don’t have to keep pushing through alone. I specialize in EMDR therapy for anxiety, trauma, and high-functioning individuals who appear strong on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally. My clients are often intelligent, driven, and capable — yet privately battling self-doubt, intrusive memories, or stress.

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.
