I work with young people aged 14-35 in Colorado and North Carolina. I am a borderline personality disorder specialist primarily and also support other personality disorders, ADHD, and high achieving people with anxiety. Clients often say they want a therapist who will provide realistic, down-to-earth support and engage them in hard discussions which is what people find when they meet with me; I'm the same person in the therapy room as I am outside of it. I provide empathetic support with a lot of humor. I provide cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy which is a concrete way of looking at how thoughts create feelings, how to shift away from unhelpful thoughts, and experience more pleasant emotions. Therapy isn't to make people feel better, it's to make people feel and learn to deal. Whatever is going on, together, we will find the path through it. It won't always be fun and sometimes you might wonder why you agreed to go to therapy, but by finding a willingness to experience uncomfortable feelings, you'll create a life worth living.
