Borderline Personality Disorder
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
I have been treating Borderline Personality Disorder for many years. Therefore, it's an area in which I have particular experience. I use a skills-based treatment called Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to focus on teaching my clients techniques in the areas of emotion regulation, relationships, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. Please note that I offer a modified version of this therapy that includes individual therapy only. A full program in DBT typically includes both individual therapy and group therapy which may be a more appropriate fit for you. You and I can discuss which option is the best for your needs.

BPD is a disorder that causes great difficulty in emotional regulation and emotional control. There can be extreme mood swings, emotional outbursts, impulsive anger, turbulent relationships and idealization and devaluation. BPD can mimic other disorders, thus it is often misdiagnosed and misunderstood. There is a belief that it is centered around emotional manipulation, yet that is not the case. There is a very high comorbidity with other issues such as substance abuse or self-harm as well. Suicidality is high among BPD due to the consensus that they see the world in only stark black and white, without the ability to reference and evaluate how things actually are. Therapy can greatly impact BDP symptoms and provide relief from this disorder.
