Personality disorders reveal a deep interaction between ingrained behavioural tendencies and early relational experiences. Attachment bonds are the foundation of personality disorders, which frequently arise as adaptive reactions to unfulfilled emotional needs and stressful events. Whether it's borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, or others, each disorder reflects a unique constellation of attachment insecurities and coping mechanisms. Therapy offers a sanctuary for exploration, providing a safe space to unpack the underlying attachment dynamics and process the echoes of past traumas. By fostering self-awareness, empathy, and resilience, individuals can begin to untangle the knots of their personality disorder, reclaiming agency over their thoughts and behaviours, and forging a path towards healing and authentic self-expression.
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
A person experiencing personality disorder will exhibit a pattern of behaviours and moods that negatively impacts the sufferers and the people around them. Ultimately, the abnormal behaviours and thoughts inherent in a personality disorder can keep the sufferers from functioning fully in their normal lives.
Personality disorders are long-term patterns of behaviour and inner experiences that differ significantly from what is expected. They affect at least two of these areas: Way of thinking about oneself and others. Way of responding emotionally. Way of relating to other people.
From a psychodynamic lens, I aim to understand the ways in which your personality has developed through a constellation of bio-psycho-social factors: including your biologically-based temperament/constitution; the attachment relationships that have created internal sets of rules and external dynamics for how you interact with others; how you have learned to cope and survive via defense mechanisms; and how connected you feel you are to an enduring sense of self.
I effectively work with personality disorders, particularly BPD, using tailored therapeutic approaches to foster emotional regulation, healthier relationships, and a balanced, fulfilling life.
I specialize in treating personality disorders by utilizing evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help you understand and manage your unique challenges.
