Borderline Personality Disorder can be best described as an emotional intensity disorder. You feel more, feel it longer, and to more extreme than those around you. You're often left feeling empty and abandoned and experience instability in your relationships. There are ways to combat this and have healthy, thriving interpersonal relationships. We can work together to achieve this.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a complex mental health disorder that is characterized by intense and unstable emotions, impulsive behavior, and unstable relationships. The most effective treatment for BPD is a form of psychotherapy called dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). DBT is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that focuses on helping individuals learn new coping skills to manage their emotions and behaviors. Other forms of therapy that have been found to be effective in treating BPD include cognitive therapy, mentalization-based therapy, and schema-focused therapy. Medications may also be used in conjunction with therapy to help manage symptoms such as depression and anxiety. Get in touch to see if we can find the best way to support your healing.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Working with borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a journey I approach with deep empathy, patience, and a strong focus on building trust and safety. I understand the intensity of the emotions, the fear of abandonment, and the challenges in relationships that can come with BPD. In our sessions, we'll work together to explore these feelings and experiences, aiming to understand their roots and triggers. I emphasize skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal relationships, drawing from evidence-based practices like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tailored to fit your personal needs and goals. My goal is to provide you with a toolbox of strategies to navigate the complexities of BPD, helping you to find more stability, resilience, and fulfillment in your life. It's about harnessing your strengths and moving towards a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.
