Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Baltimore, MD
The decision to come to therapy typically arises when we reach a point where we say "I can't do this alone." The "this" could be anything; maybe you are experiencing significant stressors at work or in your relationship; perhaps you've had years of trying to manage symptoms of trauma, depression or anxiety alone, and you're tired; it could be that your relationship or family has gone through a major change, and you are struggling to adjust. Whatever the issue is, I am happy that you have acknowledged that support is needed, and in that acknowledgment you are on your way to progress already.

My areas of specialization are bipolar type 2 and borderline personality disorder.
What's different about me is that after receiving traditional training, I've integrated it with meditation. Mindfulness, especially when combined with therapy, provides objective self-awareness, calm, and self-control, and thus, more meditation can mean less medication. Many patients are overmedicated, often with minimal results and serious side effects.

I treat Borderline Personality Disorder, self-harm, chronic suicidal ideation, and mood disorders.
Therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff or clinical. I believe that growth happens when you can show up as your full, messy, human self—sarcasm and all. My style is warm, conversational, and a little sassy when it needs to be, because real change doesn’t come from sugarcoating things.
I work with young adults and adults navigating difficult emotions, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. In our sessions, we’ll mix skill-building with honest conversations, humor, and compassion. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and capable of handling whatever life throws your way—with less chaos and more self-trust.

Starting therapy can take courage—especially if you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or misunderstood for a long time. It is a space that seeks vulnerability, and I believe meaningful change happens when therapy feels collaborative—built on authenticity, trust, and compassion. You don’t need to have the “right words” or a clear plan on when you start. Therapy isn’t about perfection or quick fixes; it’s about learning new ways to respond to life while honoring where you are right now.

When human beings experience various forms of traumas or extreme life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. What interest me into the mental health field initially, was that anxiety and depression was prevalent in my family. I wanted to understand and become more knowledgeable about the mental health issues my family suffered. It became my mission to help others moving forward, to recover from anxiety and depression. My desire became to help my clients not only recover from anxiety and depression, but to become the greatest version of theirselves.

My belief is that the most caring thing a therapist can offer is pushing a client towards their long term goals, while also recognizing and validating the fact that change can be very difficult! I use this dialectical approach with all clients, however the first step is clarifying what is important to YOU, not necessarily to the people around you. I see the relationship of a therapist and client to be one of two equals, working symbiotically together. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or simply looking to better understand yourself, I am excited to be a part of your journey!

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.
