Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is one of the most misunderstood and stigmatized diagnoses in mental health. Many people who carry this label have been described as “too much,” “too sensitive,” or “hard to treat”—often after years of experiencing invalidation, unstable relationships, or environments that didn’t feel safe or consistent. For some, the diagnosis itself doesn’t fully capture their experience. For others, it finally puts language to patterns that have felt overwhelming and hard to control. At Nour Counseling, we approach BPD with nuance, respect, and a commitment to understanding the full context of your story.
We work actively with you to make sense of the intensity—whether that’s emotional highs and lows, fear of abandonment, relationship patterns, identity shifts, or impulsive behaviors. Together, we build practical tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and more stable ways of relating to yourself and others. We also pay close attention to your history, including trauma, attachment experiences, and cultural context, because these patterns don’t develop in isolation. This is not about labeling you or reducing you to a diagnosis. It’s about helping you feel more grounded, more understood, and more equipped to navigate your emotions and relationships in a way that feels steadier and more aligned.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
If you have received a diagnosis of BPD, then you know that mitigating your varying moods is critical to leading a full and happy life. I am committed to working with my patients so that they can develop a complete understanding of their own patterns and behaviors so that they can learn to anticipate when a shift might be coming, and what they can do to make that shift a little softer. This is a condition that also bears a lot of stigma, and I hope to create a judgement-free space where my patient feels emboldened to express themselves openly and honestly.

Living with Borderline Personality Disorder can feel overwhelming, with intense emotions, relationship challenges, and self-doubt. I work with clients to better understand their emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, and improve interpersonal skills.
