Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a serious mental health condition that can have a devastating impact on individuals and those around them.  It is characterized by intense and unstable emotions, impulsivity and unstable relationships. Individuals with BPD may also experience feelings of emptiness, intense anger and fear of abandonment.

I understand the unique challenges that individuals with BPD face and am here to help.  My expertise lies in the assessment and treatment of BPD using evidence-based therapies to help individuals manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

My services include:

  • Comprehensive assessments to identify the type and severity of BPD

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address emotional regulation, mindfulness and distress tolerance

  • Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) to change negative thought patterns and behaviors

  • Supportive therapy to help individuals manage the intense emotions and stress frequently associated with BPD

  • Referrals for medical management in conjunction with therapy

  • Family therapy to help family members understand and support their loved one with BPD

BPD is Treatable

I understand that no two clients are alike and work closely with each one to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to their specific needs and goals.

If you or a loved one is struggling with Borderline Personality Disorder, please do not hesitate to contact me.  I am here to help and support you through the process of understanding and managing your symptoms.

Seeking support is an effective skill.
