Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
Borderline Personality Disorder is an illness that makes emotions difficult to manage. One may have difficulty relating to others, coping with stress, reckless behavior, strong feelings of isolation and abandonment, and challenges understanding other people’s points of view. BPD is sometimes also called Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD) as the name is more descriptive to the actual condition.
BPD commonly presents in adolescence or early adulthood with intense moods, suicidal thoughts, addictive behaviors, inability to maintain jobs and relationships, and paranoid thoughts. Because of the extreme mood swings, BPD is frequently misdiagnosed as Bipolar Disorder, however, the mood changes with BPD are typically much shorter in overall duration.
Treatment is typically a combination of psychotherapies including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness. There are no medications specifically to treat BPD but there are support groups that can help when struggling to cope with these significant emotions. People living with BPD are able to improve their lives with the help of therapy and other kinds of support.

Grace Judd
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LAMFT
For those carrying the intensity of BPD traits, emotions can feel like tidal waves—powerful, consuming, and deeply connected to fears of abandonment or relational rupture. I work with teens and adults to untangle these patterns with compassion, clarity, and evidence-based strategies. Together we build nervous-system regulation, strengthen identity, and create safer, steadier relational experiences. My style is warm, grounded, and attuned, offering a steady loom where clients can reweave their stories with stability, self-trust, and connection at the center.

Jeni Gutke
Licensed Professional Counselor, MC, LPC
We offer a DBT group virtually for adolescence and adults to learn, interpersonal communication as well as emotional regulation and skills that allow mindfulness incorporated into daily habits. This can help calm the mind with black-and-white thinking, and instead give the ability to self regulate and manage emotions and create healthy boundaries, the goal is having healthy relationships, starting with compassion and love for ourselves.
