I am a Cognitive-Behavior (CBT) therapist and specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for the treatment of Borderline Personality disorder.
Accepting New Clients: I understand how difficult it is when choosing a therapist; so I try to provide the most safe environment possible. My strengths are teaching people to use tools necessary to be more effective in their lives, relationships and find piece of mind. I believe safety and having a non-judgmental stance are among the most important aspects of the therapeutic environment. Even though it may be difficult to initiate the process of therapy, having someone assist you in making sense of internal confusion can result in insight and clarity that is often very difficult to achieve alone.

I additionally work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, borderline, and trauma presentations, using a combination of EMDR, NARM, narrative, acceptance, and existential therapies to support my clients.
Many of us feel like we are fighting several losing battles at once, often causing feelings of hollowness, sadness, hopelessness, and anxiety. This can make us feel like there’s no way to find our purpose or direction in life, impacting our relationships to others and ourselves. Navigating these struggles means more than addressing symptoms: we have to rediscover a sense of meaning. To do this, I blend together modalities that address trauma, identity, problem solving, and understanding our belief systems to best support the person from a place that is grounded and informed by their personal goals and priorities.

You deserve support. That's my central focus in practice, many of us minimize our own distress by saying "other people have it worse" or "I should be grateful" without actually acknowledging that you are worth the time, energy, and investment. Trust me, even if you tell yourself it's not that bad, it won't change until you change it.

Sometimes our struggles seem so overwhelming that we are not able to see a way to work through them. Sometimes we just stop feeling like ourself and cannot figure out how to change that. And sometimes we end up being controlled by our overwhelming emotions instead of feeling like we are managing them. We are not able to always able to accurately assess and address problems and need the help of a Therapist to become skillful in managing life stressors and emotions.

Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists
What is the most successful approach to treating borderline personality disorder?
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is considered the gold standard of treatment for borderline personality disorder. An evidence-based treatment, it addresses the extreme emotional reactivity, the relationship difficulties, and the acts of self-harm that create so much distress for BPD patients. DBT is a comprehensive program that includes both regular individual psychotherapy sessions and weekly group sessions of skills training.
What happens in treatment of borderline personality disorder?
Treatment typically consists of weekly individual therapy sessions that last an hour and group skill-focused instructional sessions that may last up to two hours. Patients are typically given homework “assignments” in which they are asked to practice in their daily life the skills they acquire in therapy. Patients also keep a diary tracking their emotions and impulses as a way to know which situations are most problematic and to help them gain control over their own behavior. Difficult situations and feelings are typically reviewed in therapy sessions and more constructive solutions found.
What kinds of problems does BPD treatment help with?
DBT was initially developed to dampen the self-destructive impulses of chronically suicidal patients. It is now the treatment of choice for borderline personality disorder, a serious condition marked by extreme emotional reactivity, relationship instability, and self-injurious behaviors. Treatment of BPD helps patients tolerate the flux of emotions without acting on them, often with a specific focus on tolerating negative emotions. DBT addresses the core problems of BPD—fear of abandonment, low self-esteem, and impulsivity.
What is the goal of treatment in borderline personality disorder?
The goal of treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD) is to relieve the extreme emotional distress that patients experience—to curb their emotional reactivity, to minimize their inclination to self-harm, and to reduce their impulsivity. Toward these ends, patients are not only taught an array of new coping skills and techniques for emotional regulation, they are given opportunities to practice them. Another major goal of treatment is interpersonal effectiveness; patients learn and problem-solve ways to effectively communicate in relationships, especially how to ask for what they need as a way to minimize hurt feelings.
