I am a clinical psychologist with over 28 years of experience, specializing in personality disorders (Borderline, Narcissistic, Schizoid), complex PTSD, and relational trauma. These struggles can feel overwhelming, and many believe they’re untreatable—but real growth is possible. Using a range of evidence-based approaches, I help clients find stability, self-understanding, and healthier relationships. You don’t have to go through this alone.
I offer long-term psychotherapy for those ready to commit to change. Whether you’re struggling with personality disorders or the impact of close relationships with those who have them, I provide a space for healing, understanding, and lasting personal growth.
We all struggle and want relief, but true healing goes beyond just feeling better—it’s about lasting change. Therapy isn’t always easy, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to walk that difficult road with you, at your pace, for as long as it takes.

I believe our personalities ("self") are shaped by our development and the significant others we are involved with through our lives. Nature, Nurture and Fate. We will explore these influences and how you want to grow over the long term and forge the path to help you get there.
