I specialize in all forms of personality disorder, but I always emphasize the difference between disordered personality traits and a full-blown personality disorder. The main feature of Borderline personality disorder is that in order to repair the fractured sense of self an individual adopts a reality that is somewhat different than that experienced by others: the goal of therapy is to reintegrate the individual's experienced reality with others.
Rooted in childhood trauma, BPD can be addressed using somatic therapies and process the trauma, reduce shame, regulate affect and emotional reactivity, enabling serenity and affect control as well as healing from one's traumas.
I have worked with many people with BPD working with people with this diagnosis is a passion for me. I believe people living with BPD are often left untreated as there are very few professionals who have the capacity & desire to work within this speciality. That's why it is important to me that I provide this service.
