I work with clients who have experienced anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, PTSD, and narcissistic abuse in various aspects of lives- family of origin, work, intimate partners, church, or social settings. These individuals carry deep, unacknowledged wounds and have struggled to feel heard or understood despite numerous attempts to find healing. In my therapy sessions, they are finally able to express their pain. I help them uncover the root causes of their psychological and physical symptoms, which may even be traced back to prenatal experiences. Through our work, clients feel at ease and discover freedom in both body and mind.

Counseling is a process where you and I as a therapist co-operate to discover the things that have kept you from living, and being the person you want. In order to help, I need to know about your situation and life in general. It is important that you be willing to talk about your thoughts and feelings etc. This takes tremendous courage. As we discuss your needs, my job is to help you find the patterns, themes, contradictions, or things that are undiscovered within you and discover ways to increase your growth and happiness.

Are you a person who has emotional ups and downs on a regular basis? Do you need more time to process information in order to make a decision? Do negative/positive experiences affect you deeply? Do you or others say you are "too" sensitive? Do you tend to feel depressed and/or anxious when responding to expectations of others and self? Being an individual who struggles to manage these traits can be discouraging. Most people use their analytical mind to find a solution or believe their circumstances must change to be happy. This cycle of frustration and effort may leave you and loved ones feeling overwhelmed, doubtful and confused.

My approach to therapy is a collaboration with my clients. Adverse experiences and trauma can manifest differently in each individual's body. Our body's hold on to the trauma and you can experience physical sensations and emotional dysregulation without knowing why. I believe that a holistic approach to therapy can help you release the trauma stuck in your body. We will work together to help you recognize your triggers and heal the underlying cause to return you to live the life you desire.

I understand that starting therapy requires courage. My study of psychodynamic theory has allowed me to understand the complex ways in which childhood experiences shape the way we look at the world. I want to help make sense of the ineffable. So many patients have described feeling like they are "missing something". I have noticed that more often than not, what is missing are lost parts of the self. It is my goal to provide psychodynamic psychotherapy with proper depth and duration to allow a deeper understanding of the self, a sense of peace, resilience, and a emergence of creativity.

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.
