I bring a psychoanalytically-informed approach to helping individuals with symptom relief, emotional pain, and interpersonal growth. This involves a focus on the role of emotions in a person's mental life, consideration of how psychological defenses may complicate greater personal fulfillment, and exploration of how the relationship between me and the patient may shed light on problematic interpersonal patterns. I integrate psychiatric medications in the therapeutic work whenever appropriate to reduce emotional suffering, enhance the capacity for reflection on painful experiences, and to facilitate relational understanding.

FAQ - Borderline Personality (BPD) Psychiatrists
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.
