Many of the people I work with are children, adolescents, young adults, and families seeking a clearer understanding of emotional, behavioral, or developmental challenges that have become difficult to navigate alone. Some are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, concentration difficulties, or school-related concerns. Others have tried therapy, medication, or both and still feel stuck. Together, we work to better understand what is contributing to these difficulties and develop a thoughtful, individualized plan that supports meaningful and lasting change.

Many people I work with come from backgrounds where emotions were avoided, minimized, or felt unsafe to express—for very understandable reasons. While this can be an effective way to cope in times of survival or stress, it can also come with costs—feeling disconnected from yourself and your desires or finding yourself stuck in unhelpful patterns. If you decide to work with me, our therapy might help you focus on gradually getting to know your emotions in a way that feels safe.

What is borderline personality disorder?
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition characterized by difficulty regulating emotions, which often leads to frequent mood swings, intense emotions, and challenging interpersonal relationships. People with BPD commonly experience a significant fear of abandonment, which can result in dramatic behaviors as they attempt to avoid real or perceived rejection. Individuals with BPD can also often struggle with additional mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, or trauma-related disorders. The first symptoms of BPD typically emerge during the teenage years, and the condition is generally chronic, meaning is persists throughout an individual's life. However, despite its long-term nature, effective treatment options are available that can significantly reduce symptom intensity and improve overall quality of life, and psychiatrists can be essential to improving outcomes.
How do psychiatrists treat borderline personality disorder?
The gold standard treatment for BPD is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), a therapeutic modality developed by psychologist Marsha Linehan specifically for this condition. DBT focuses primarily on emotion regulation and symptom reduction by helping individuals develop effective emotional coping skills and mindfulness practices. Many psychiatrists who specialize in BPD incorporate DBT techniques into their practice, often working with a client's therapist and other treatment professionals to incorporate all aspects of the therapy. While no specific medications are approved exclusively for BPD, some individuals benefit from medications that target symptoms of co-occurring conditions, such as anxiety or depression. A psychiatrist can be beneficial to help evaluate whether medication might be helpful for a client as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in borderline personality disorder?
The Psychology Today online directory serves as a helpful resource for finding psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in BPD. The platform allows users to filter providers by specific areas of expertise—including BPD and related conditions—as well as by practical considerations such as insurance acceptance, session costs, location, and personal preferences regarding provider characteristics like gender, cultural background, or religious affiliation. When evaluating potential psychiatrists, it's important to inquire about their specific experience working with personality disorders and their approach to both medication management and behavioral therapies. This ensures you find a provider who can offer the specialized care that BPD treatment requires.
