Borderline Personality Disorder therapists in Oakville, Ontario ON, Canada CA

I have recently started to work with individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder in one to one treatment for the last 3 years.  

I have been working with clients with borderline personality disorder since 2009. I know that childhood trauma and everyday stress make you feel that people around you don't understand you, they are trustworthy and make you feel angry. During our session, we will try to bring structure to your life and learn how to increase self-confidence, energy level and inner peace.  

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.  

When choosing a therapist, it is important to find someone that will understand your situation. Likewise, you want to feel at ease when sharing your feelings and thoughts. My goal as a psychotherapist is to work as a team to explore alternative ways to deal with challenges. I have advanced training in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical-Behavioural Therapy (DBT). For further information, please feel free to contact me and receive a prompt reply.  

I will help with learning DBT skills to help you with being more mindful, learning emotion regulation skills, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness skills.  

I am passionate about supporting clients living with Borderline Personality Disorder. I can support you in improving your relationships, learning effective ways of getting your needs met, managing your emotions, and cultivating a richer and more meaningful life over all. I am trained in both dialectical behaviour therapy ad cognitive behaviour therapy in the treatment of BPD.

Address personality disorders by providing psychoeducation, DBT, and other coping skills.  

As specific expression of a personality disorder, Borderline can be seen as the stuff of an undersupply of love. My approach to this has both cogninitive and relational components.
