Personality Disorders

I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Brief Interpersonal Therapy to treat personality disorders. We will look at early patterns of behavior and relationships that shaped these behaviors. We will simultaneously work on developing strategies to handle situations, regulate strong emotions, and learn boundaries between self and other.

In my experience, individuals living with diagnosis of Personality Disorders often receive lower quality care and are frequently dismissed due to the stigma associated with their diagnosis. You deserve the same unconditional care as anyone else. I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and can provide support in areas such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.

It can be difficult when diagnosed with a personality disorder to know where to turn. I have worked with numerous clients to understand their diagnosis and to help them learn to connect with their environment.

I welcome working with people who have previously been diagnosed with a personality disorder (most often borderline personality disorder). I conceptualize these "personality disorders" as typically being the result of complex developmental traumas. If we can treat the traumatic reactions we can begin to help change behaviors that are no longer adaptive or useful to you.

As a clinician, I have came across individuals from all walks of life. Many variables, from genetics to chaotic upbringings, can impact the onset and prevalence of personality disorders. The effects can be burdening on mental, physical, and interpersonal levels, yet, these disorders are treatable. I work to help people embrace their situations from a healthier, developed mindset through strategic skill building. With the proper treatment and care, increased quality of life is achievable.

I specialize in working with individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). With training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and crisis management, I help clients navigate intense emotions, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build a more stable, fulfilling life. My approach is compassionate and tailored, focusing on building resilience and enhancing emotional regulation.

All relationships come with their own hurdles; however, sometimes they can feel extra difficult to navigate. If being in close relationships has often felt difficult, please reach out and learn how to feel closer and more engaged with those you care about.

I specialize in clients diagnosed with personality disorders. I will support you in working towards your ideal life, managing symptoms, and understanding the diagnosis.

I have extensive experience and knowledge specifically with borderline personality disorder, dependent personality disorder, and avoidant personality disorder.

I specialize in working with Borderline personality Disorder in particular, with having experience and success with helping this population improve their emotional regulation skills and ability, and improve their inter-personal relationships. I am also working on becoming certified in DBT to help this population as well.

I am formally trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) through Behavioral Tech - Marsha Linehan's training foundation. I have both residential and outpatient experience treating symptoms common in personality disorders such as suicidality, self-harm, and interpersonal struggles.

I specialize in helping people recover from narcissistic relationships. Together, we will: process the relationship and emotional trauma, explore emotional triggers, recognize healthy and unhealthy relationships, set boundaries, prioritize your needs, and build a healthy support system.

You’ve been struggling with overwhelming emotion, at times hopeless that you will ever feel grounded. Emotions hit you like unrelenting ocean waves, and you’re being tossed and thrown around trying to get above water for some air. With comprehensive DBT and trauma focused therapy, I can help you navigate overwhelming emotion so you can feel safe and grounded, resolve conflict in relationships so you can feel connected and secure, and connect to yourself so you can feel powerful & purposeful.

Feeling like your emotions are all over the place? Feeling empty, insecure, and reactive? Do you find yourself engaging in harmful, impulsive behaviors when feeling rejected or abandoned? Having difficulty maintaining stable relationships? Whether this is your experience or the experience of someone you love, therapy can genuinely make a difference, and I'm here to help you!

I specialize in supporting people with Borderline Personality Disorder as well as people who have been impacted by Narcissistic abuse. I create a safe place for you to uncover the coping skills you learned as a result of your trauma and develop skills for navigating experiences of abandonment, rejection, and emotional instability. Together, we can help you feel safe in your body, heal your trauma, and develop healthy relationships in your life today.

I specialize in helping identify patterns of coping and behavior that may no longer serve you well. Through compassionate curiosity, I can help you find healthier, happier ways of relating to yourself and others.

Many clients have been stigmatized by personality disorder diagnoses, and their family members have been told that they can't make changes. That simply isn't true. If you want help for yourself or to deal with relationship issues with a loved one, I can provide the support you need to live your best life.

I have extensive experience treating personality disorders and truly enjoy working with the brilliant and creative individuals who often receive this label. If you have a PD diagnosis, I know that you have likely experienced a great deal of pain and fear in this life. You may been feeling alone or rejected because relationships are not your strong suit. If you are ready to practice vulnerability and learn a new way of connecting to yourself and others, I can help.
