The foundation of BPD has it's root in repressed shame and guilt, usually as a result of an invalidated and neglectful childhood. The egoic identity as constructed from shame and guilt will need to be transcended to alleviate chronic BPD symptoms.
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.

I love working with people who may have been diagnosed with BPD or are exhibiting borderline traits! I have trained in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and believe it is through learning and enhancing emotional regulation techniques as well as other therapeutic skills , that distressing emotional responses may be minimised. I see you as the unique person you are.

Both therapists view personality disorders as a disruption in normal development, attachment and sense of self. They utilize the Brain-Mind-Relationship model that enables the exploration of reactive behaviours that interferes with effective functioning and development of safe and secure relationships. Therapy aims to develop a sense of self-awareness, distress tolerance and better choices at the most basic level of conscious awareness
