BPD can include self-image problems, difficulty managing emotions and behaviours, and patterns of unstable relationships. Those who struggle with BPD often experience intense fear about being abandoned and suffer from intense mood swings and impulsiveness that push others away, even when the individual longs most for a loving and stable relationship. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) is a good treatment option. The most important is that I will provide you a safe, supportive, and understanding environment where we can work together through the issues.

I enjoy working with borderline personality disorder and find that the emotion based tools work the most as I focus on helping lead the client through a deeper integration of self, helping them understand their personality in totality with love and acceptance.
BPD diagnosis can be daunting and stressful, however it has been proven that clients can learn emotion regulation skills to help manage challenging events, managing difficult relationships and avoid risk behaviours. As Intensively DBT therapist I have learn and practice skills with many clients experiencing trauma, invalidation and attachments disruptions.
Overcoming life's challenges alone can be incredibly difficult. I offer a safe space where you can share your thoughts and emotions openly and without judgment. We will build on your areas of strength and resiliency, while acquiring new skills that can help you cope more successfully. I am excited to embark on this journey together, as we all have the potential to reach our goals when given the right tools and support.
If you're experiencing symptoms of borderline personality disorder it's likely that you're feeling disconnected from or completely out of control of your emotions. Your relationships aren't what you'd like them to be and you might feel hopeless that things will change. Perhaps you've tried to cope with all the pain and disappointment by using drugs or alcohol or engaging in self-harm or other dangerous behaviour - this likely worked and gave you temporary relief but eventually the feelings return.
We have extensive experience supporting teens and adults showing signs of BPD. We are trained in evidence based strategies (primarily DBT - or trauma therapies if trauma is also present) to help you regain control of emotions, find stability in your relationships, and learn to tolerate distress. We can also support your family so that they can better support you.
It's possible that you've tried therapy in the past - perhaps it wasn't a good experience. We appreciate that it can be difficult to find a therapist that is a good fit and recognize that this will be a huge predictor of your success in therapy. We invite you to contact us for a free 15-minute consultation so that you can meet with the therapist, ask any questions that you might have, and get a sense of whether they are the right therapist for you.
