Borderline Personality Disorder
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCDC, EMDR
I have experience treating this diagnosis with Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), a term frequently encountered in popular culture, often carries the weight of negative connotations, especially when used to characterize behaviors that are not desired. This broad application can obscure the real challenges in identifying and addressing actual behaviors that stem from BPD. It’s crucial to recognize that BPD represents a deeply intricate diagnosis, one that significantly influences interpersonal dynamics. My approach is designed to provide you with a clear, compassionate understanding of the origins of BPD with a clear treatment plan on how to move forward. I strive to create a safe space for exploration and learning, free from judgment and premature labeling of those close to you. My goal is to empower you with self-knowledge, allowing for informed and supportive interactions within your relationships.

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.
