Personality Disorder
Understand your patterns, build stability, and reconnect with who you are.
Living with a personality disorder can feel confusing, painful, and overwhelming—not just for you, but also in your relationships. You might struggle with intense emotions, identity issues, self-doubt, or cycles of conflict and disconnection. At times, you may feel misunderstood or as though you don’t quite fit in.
These patterns aren’t your fault—they were often shaped by early life experiences, trauma, or unmet emotional needs. But they can change. Therapy helps you make sense of how you experience the world, relate to others, and respond to stress—offering new tools and insights for building a more stable, fulfilling life.
There are different types of personality disorders, such as:
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) – intense emotions, fear of abandonment, and difficulty regulating relationships
Avoidant Personality Disorder – extreme social discomfort and sensitivity to criticism or rejection
Narcissistic Personality Disorder – patterns of grandiosity, vulnerability, and difficulty with empathy or self-worth
Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) – rigid thinking, perfectionism, and a strong need for control
Dependent Personality Disorder – difficulty making decisions without reassurance and fear of being alone
Therapeutic Approaches I Use
In therapy, we work to identify the patterns that cause distress—not to label or judge, but to understand and heal. We’ll explore how early experiences shaped your coping styles and work together to build emotional awareness, healthier boundaries, and a more stable sense of self.
Schema Therapy
To specifically developed for long-standing emotional and relational patterns related to personality disorders
EMDR Therapy
To process early attachment wounds and trauma that may underlie chronic emotional difficulties
Emotion Regulation & Relational Techniques
To build tools for managing intense feelings and navigating relationships more effectively
There Is a Way Forward
Struggling with a personality disorder doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you learned to adapt in ways that made sense once—but no longer serve you today.
Even if you’ve felt stuck in these patterns for years, therapy offers a path to more stability, self-compassion, and meaningful change.
You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone.
Therapy can help you understand yourself more deeply, build stronger connections, and move toward a more balanced, empowered life.
