Springfield, MO 65804
I have experience working with clients across the lifespan who have struggled with depression, anxiety, autism, ADHD, personality disorders, and a variety of other mental health concerns.
Accepting new clients with evening availability and a flexible sliding scale! Are you someone who has learned in adulthood that you may be dealing with symptoms of ADHD, Autism, or other neurodivergent concerns? Do you often feel overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, or dissociated? If you are seeking a safe place to explore these concerns and learn tools to manage this new understanding of yourself better, counseling may be what you are looking for. By creating a safe space and a strong therapeutic relationship, I believe we can better understand our genuine selves while developing skills to improve our functioning.

While I enjoy working with a variety of concerns, my primary areas of interest are: grief and loss (including pet loss), chronic illness, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood and personality disorders, and life transitions.
Being a human can be tough and life gets heavy sometimes, but you don't have to do it alone. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, I can help you process these complicated feelings and find a way forward.

Do you find yourself feeling lost or confused about who you are? Maybe you're struggling to thrive or even to cope as the world changes around you. Identity struggles, grief, relational challenges, traumatic experiences, health changes, spiritual crises, and other naturally occurring stressors are all potential sources of anxiety that can alter the way we think and feel about ourselves and others in our present moment and moving forward. As a trauma-informed practitioner, I approach each relationship with a person-centered focus, operating holistically through the lens of trauma-informed care, recognizing you as a unique individual.

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.
