Seeking help is the first step towards feeling better. Regardless of why you are seeking help, the most important thing right now is that you are making the choice to do so. Focusing on what we can control (instead of what is beyond our control) is often a key element to working through difficult life circumstances. Together, we can work on learning and developing skills that can help you improve the quality of your life. My main focus during therapy will be to help you lead a more fulfilling life by working with you collaboratively to achieve your goals.

I have been practicing as a therapist for more than 5 years and I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I work with adolescents 12+ and with adults of all ages. In addition to individual therapy, I also work with couples and families on a wide variety of topics. I like to say that I had a “short,” 14 year career in the Air Force before deciding to become a social worker. After separating from the Air Force, I attended UT Austin and earned my MSSW in my journey to becoming a licensed social worker.

If you struggle to get through your day, burdened by anxious thoughts and feelings of emptiness and futility, you're in good company. Feelings of low self-worth, loss of identity, lack of purpose, disconnection in relationships, or existential/spiritual angst can have many different origins in our past experiences. These emotions force us to come face to face with life's most difficult questions every day. If you're tired of living in your own head, I want to help you sort through your own thoughts and feelings to find those answers and move forward.

We are biologically wired from birth to need safe, accepting connections with others. When we get those, we develop openness to relationships and resilience to cope with life’s inevitable pain. If you lacked that support, patterns can develop that inadvertently keep you stuck in pain. These patterns can include self-criticism, worry, anger, lethargy, numbness, shame, guilt, fear of closeness, and more. My work focuses on helping people with past abuse and neglect rediscover their body’s innate ability to rebalance from stress, relate to themselves with more care, and relate to others more confidently and authentically.

In our work together, I'll seek to provide an atmosphere where you feel understood. With empathy and curiosity, my aim is to help you understand the ways you have struggled, and are struggling. Painful, yet unprocessed emotions are often at the root of our suffering. These emotions need care and attunement, a "relational home." By experiencing these emotions together in psychotherapy, you will likely gain significant inner freedom, as you understand yourself more deeply and experience a reduction in your symptoms.

Pain can lead to the most profound feelings of isolation and hopelessness. I have experience working with individuals, families, and couples, helping people during the most vulnerable times in their lives and have seen first hand how unresolved and damaged relationships have negatively impacted people and caused pain. One of people's biggest regrets at end-of-life are the relationships they have neglected. One of my greatest passions is working with individuals and families to address hurts and impasses: being both witness and participant.

Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists

What is the most successful approach to treating borderline personality disorder?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is considered the gold standard of treatment for borderline personality disorder. An evidence-based treatment, it addresses the extreme emotional reactivity, the relationship difficulties, and the acts of self-harm that create so much distress for BPD patients. DBT is a comprehensive program that includes both regular individual psychotherapy sessions and weekly group sessions of skills training.

What happens in treatment of borderline personality disorder?

Treatment typically consists of weekly individual therapy sessions that last an hour and group skill-focused instructional sessions that may last up to two hours. Patients are typically given homework “assignments” in which they are asked to practice in their daily life the skills they acquire in therapy. Patients also keep a diary tracking their emotions and impulses as a way to know which situations are most problematic and to help them gain control over their own behavior. Difficult situations and feelings are typically reviewed in therapy sessions and more constructive solutions found.

What kinds of problems does BPD treatment help with?

DBT was initially developed to dampen the self-destructive impulses of chronically suicidal patients. It is now the treatment of choice for borderline personality disorder, a serious condition marked by extreme emotional reactivity, relationship instability, and self-injurious behaviors. Treatment of BPD helps patients tolerate the flux of emotions without acting on them, often with a specific focus on tolerating negative emotions. DBT addresses the core problems of BPD—fear of abandonment, low self-esteem, and impulsivity.

What is the goal of treatment in borderline personality disorder?

The goal of treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD) is to relieve the extreme emotional distress that patients experience—to curb their emotional reactivity, to minimize their inclination to self-harm, and to reduce their impulsivity. Toward these ends, patients are not only taught an array of new coping skills and techniques for emotional regulation, they are given opportunities to practice them. Another major goal of treatment is interpersonal effectiveness; patients learn and problem-solve ways to effectively communicate in relationships, especially how to ask for what they need as a way to minimize hurt feelings.
