Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
Individuals living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) often grapple with intense emotions that can fluctuate rapidly, leading to feelings of sadness, anger, or anxiety that are difficult to regulate. This emotional intensity can be overwhelming and impact their daily lives.
Impulsive behaviors are another hallmark of BPD, and these can manifest in various ways, such as reckless spending, substance abuse, binge eating, self-harm, or engaging in risky sexual activities. These impulsive actions often serve as a way to cope with the emotional turmoil they experience.
Beyond emotional and behavioral difficulties, individuals with BPD often experience suicidal ideation and interpersonal problems.
Working with a therapist that has the experience and know how is essential to untangling these areas of pain and distress. Given the right approach, you or loved ones can address these symptoms and heal.
I specialize in providing evidence based treatment for BPD, offering support to those seeking to regain control of their emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and build more stable relationships. I have been trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Schema Therapy, which are both evidence based approaches developed to treat BPD.
My authenticity, creativity, and humor create a welcoming space for clients. Building trust and rapport is at the heart of the therapy process regardless of approach or symptoms and my clients have felt this connection.
