Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Individual, Marriage, and Family Therapist (LMFT)
Both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral therapy as well as Acceptance and Commitment therapy are effective modalities that I have experience with in addressing concerns related to personality disorder stressors.
I have extensive experience diagnosing and treating personality disorders of all types, with a focus on Borderline Personality Disorder. I enjoy working with this diagnosis because it touches on all aspects of life and effective treatment will lead to global relief. When responding to personality disturbance or disorder, I focus on clear communication and accountability, honest exploration of feelings, and building trust in the therapist-client relationship.
I don't believe in "Personality Disorders" and I'm happy to go into this deeper with clients. Personality Disorders are just patterns of trauma that are often seen as pathological. Let's build self-awareness for our personality process and learn to use it as a resource for our wellbeing.
I strive to not make assumptions, but to listen to you with an open mind, to respect you and your feelings, to be sensitive yet objective and flexible, honest, and direct. My challenge is to craft a treatment specifically for you and your unique needs and to keep you clearly in my focus.
Personality disorder therapy focuses on the assessment of the specific problem and the development of a treatment plan between the client and psychologist.
You may recognize that your relationships do not work for you and that there is a pattern in the difficulties that you have in dealing with other people. We are expert in working with challenging personality disorders.
