When it comes to addressing borderline personality disorder (BPD) in therapy, we believe in approaching it as a form of trauma rather than a stigmatized label. We recognize that individuals with BPD have often experienced significant emotional pain and distress in their lives, which has shaped their coping mechanisms and relational patterns.
In our therapeutic approach, we prioritize creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences and emotions. We view BPD as a response to past traumas, whether they be childhood neglect, abuse, or other adverse life events. Our goal is to help you understand the impact of these traumas on your present-day functioning and support you in healing and developing healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
By adopting a trauma-informed lens, we acknowledge the validity of your experiences and work collaboratively to address the underlying wounds that contribute to BPD symptoms. We focus on building a strong therapeutic alliance based on trust, empathy, and validation. We understand the importance of providing a safe container for expressing your emotions, even the ones that may feel overwhelming or intense.
Throughout therapy, we integrate a range of evidence-based modalities to support your recovery journey. This may include elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), schema therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. We tailor our interventions to your unique needs, helping you regulate emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, and build more fulfilling and stable relationships.
Our aim is to destigmatize BPD and create a therapeutic environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. We work together to help you reclaim your sense of self-worth, enhance your self-compassion, and establish a stronger foundation for emotional well-being. By acknowledging the trauma underlying BPD, we strive to support your healing and growth, fostering a more hopeful and fulfilling future.

Meaningfully Connected Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
So many labels we use have negative connotations and BPD is no different. I am not as interested in your label as much as I am interested in your story and experience and how you experience BPD or BPD traits. My passion is helping people from various walks of life who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed and irritable. You may be experiencing relational difficulties/ frustrations or feeling triggered by important others in your life. Do you cope by shutting down or avoiding? Are you ready to get to the bottom of things? If you are interested in self-exploration, coping better and managing anxiety, then I can help. I understand the courage it takes to reach out for help, and how life can open up when you do. I strive to provide relevant, responsive and collaborative therapy by prioritizing rapport-building and using a compassionate approach so that you feel safe as you explore the experiences and feelings that are coming up for you today. You are not your difficulties, even though some days it can feel that way; and so it is just as important for us to explore your goals, strengths and story as we tackle the challenges that you are facing. We use an eclectic approach, drawing on numerous approaches including Emotion-focused, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems, Family Systems, Polyvagal theory, Solution-Focused and EMDR to tailor therapy to you. If you are looking for a compassionate therapist who cares not only about your difficulties, but also about how they developed and how they impact you, who is culturally sensitive and aware, and who will support your self-discovery, we would be honoured to be a part of your journey.
Contact us directly to schedule a complimentary phone consultation where we can answer your questions. You deserve a meaningful and peaceful life.
