Kaimana Psychology Inc.
Psychologist, BA, MACP, Registered Psychologist
My approach to working with individuals experiencing borderline personality disorder is grounded in understanding the experiences that have shaped their emotional world and relational patterns. I believe it is important to explore early childhood experiences, attachment dynamics, and environments where emotional needs may not have been consistently met or where nurturing and emotional validation were lacking. These experiences can influence how individuals learn to understand, regulate, and respond to intense emotions later in life. Together, we work to process significant core memories and identify the beliefs, fears, and emotional patterns that may continue to influence present-day reactions and relationships. From there, I focus on building emotional awareness and developing practical, individualized tools that clients can draw upon when faced with emotional overwhelm or triggering situations. The goal is to help clients recognize emotional shifts, navigate distress without becoming consumed by it, and respond in ways that support their well-being and interpersonal relationships. Through this process, clients can develop greater emotional regulation, strengthen their sense of self, and cultivate healthier relationship dynamics and more effective outcomes in their daily lives. My approach emphasizes understanding the origins of emotional responses while empowering clients with the skills and self-awareness to create meaningful, lasting change.

Jenn Wushke
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW., RSW., RCSW., Approved Clinical Supervisor
There is so much stigma and misunderstanding of BPD. I understand the pain of unmanaged emotions and not feeling supported or understood despite trying so hard. I have worked with BPD for many years and find that the best approach is to learn to compassionately understand one's unmet needs, learn to meet these in healthy ways and to be able to be supported in meeting these through understanding parts that become overwhelmed and helping them to cope.

Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Living with borderline personality disorder (BPD) can be profoundly challenging. Those affected often endure intense emotional turbulence, unstable relationships, and a fragile or shifting sense of self. Rapid mood swings, impulsivity, and self-destructive behaviors frequently disrupt their personal lives, creating cycles of conflict and emotional pain. Many individuals with BPD grapple with chronic feelings of emptiness, an overwhelming fear of abandonment, and a distorted self-image that makes it difficult to trust themselves or others.
Managing BPD requires more than willpower—it demands compassionate support, a strong therapeutic alliance, and the development of effective coping strategies. This often includes a combination of therapy, skill-building, and, when appropriate, medication. With the right treatment and support, people with BPD can gain greater emotional stability and go on to lead meaningful, connected lives.
Daniel understands this journey intimately. Several of his close family members live with BPD, giving him deep personal insight into both the daily struggles individuals face and the emotional toll it takes on their loved ones. His empathy, grounded in experience, informs his commitment to helping others navigate the complexities of this condition with respect, patience, and hope.
Daniel offers both brief screening for borderline personality disorder (BPD) and comprehensive, customized assessments that evaluate a wide range of personality disorders, trauma, and commonly co-occurring concerns. He welcomes inquiries regarding this and other psychological testing services he provides.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
If relationships feel like an endless cycle of clinging and pushing away, if you're terrified of being left yet somehow always end up alone, if emptiness follows you no matter who's in your life—you're not broken, you're responding to deep wounds. I understand these patterns intimately and will help you see them with clarity and compassion rather than shame. Together, we'll explore where the fear of abandonment began, learn to regulate the panic that drives relationship chaos, and build genuine self-trust that doesn't depend on others' presence. You'll discover that the stability you've been seeking outside yourself can grow within.
