If you're tired of worksheets and platitudes, I invite you to follow what stirs beneath your words. Here, you will speak, and you will set the course. We will turn to your dreams, to moments from your past, to fantasies, to stray memories that return without warning, and to thoughts that seem to arrive from somewhere beyond your intention. You may bungle your words, find yourself on a tangent, or even hear yourself say something you did not plan to say at all. While you may be used to ignoring these supposed lapses, it is precisely within them that our work begins.

I'm BPD friendly and believe that stigmas are only a hindrance to us living our best lives as our most true and authentic selves.
Let's not sugarcoat it, life is tough. Whether you've just experienced a traumatic event, are struggling to process a past traumatic event, or you're finding yourself to be uncertain of long-held beliefs. The therapy I offer combines traditional therapy styles such as CBT and DBT, while also incorporating somatic work. If you sometimes have feelings in your body that you don't understand, somatic therapy helps you to connect your emotions with your body so that you can fully understand and embrace yourself as you find your inner healing. I like to be conversational in approach while also teaching coping mechanisms and skillsets.

Your history is just a chapter, not the final word. I specialize in working with those who feel their stories are 'too much'—whether you are navigating the justice system, recovery from addiction, the nuances of your identity, or the exhausting weight of an emotional life that you’ve been told is 'just too sensitive' or 'too difficult' to handle. My practice is built on the belief that human dignity is a non-negotiable, and I offer a space where radical empathy meets tactical strategy.

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.
