Hello! My area of interest is complex, chronic mental health challenges – especially Borderline Personality Disorder and chronic depression (sometimes called dysthymia). My clients often struggle with feelings of isolation, instability of mood, and a sense that their relationships never work out the way they’d like them to. Substance use is often involved, but is rarely the main issue. Most have seen a therapist before and garnered some benefit, but they’ve often become a little skeptical about whether psychotherapy can really bring them the change they’re looking for.
I’ve trained in Mentalization-Based Treatment and Schema Therapy, both of which have been recognized as evidence-based approaches to the treatment of complex, chronic mental health problems by the APA. In our work together, I’ll help you to identify long-standing unconscious patterns that have subtly affected the course of your life.
I work to provide a safe, supportive, and inquisitive environment in which you can share your experiences, feel heard, and try out new ways of understanding yourself and relating to others. Call or message today, and we can start working on making your life better.
