I have an eclectic style and use a number of techniques to address a broad range of psychiatric symptoms including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse history, borderline and narcissistic personality disorders.
My goal as a therapist is to help clients who are having difficulty in our fast-paced environment dealing with life’s stressors related to marriages/partnerships, families, friendships, social isolation, employment and finances. I provide a safe place where clients know they can share in a confidential environment without judgment. All of us have negative thoughts. Realizing that we are more than our thoughts, though, can be truly liberating and allow a person to live a full and meaningful life, even when faced with struggles that may seem impossible to overcome.

You’ve spent so much of your life trying to outrun what happened to you as a child, yet the past still shows up in ways you wish it wouldn’t. You carry memories you never asked for, and even years later, they echo through your relationships, reactions, and how you see yourself. Trust feels risky. Connection feels uncertain. And whenever conflict, misunderstanding, or closeness appears, something inside you tightens, like you’re bracing to be hurt or abandoned. You swing between feeling too much and feeling nothing at all – never quite sure where you fit or how to feel safe. You’re tired of feeling stuck and lost.

My clients call on me when they’re dealing with depression and anxiety. If you find yourself often thinking you're not good enough, or feeling disconnected from your own value, you're not alone—and there is hope. Parents are most likely to reach out when they see changes in their child’s mood or behavior and when the entire family begins to struggle because one person is really hurting.

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.
