Personality Disorders

I have extensive training, expertise, and experience treating Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). In my private practice, I treat both individuals who meet criteria for BPD but for whom Comprehensive DBT is not indicated, and individuals who don't meet criteria for BPD but experience BPD symptoms/traits.

It can be difficult when diagnosed with a personality disorder to know where to turn. I have worked with numerous clients to understand their diagnosis and to help them learn to connect with their environment.

Struggling with chronic emotion dysregulation and distress can feel isolating and demoralizing. With DBT I help clients diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder or Borderline traits build skills to soothe emotional distress, regulate and focus the mind, and build a true life worth living. I have extensive training in DBT and its applications, and have offered DBT in all levels of care and settings.

You’ve been struggling with overwhelming emotion, at times hopeless that you will ever feel grounded. Emotions hit you like unrelenting ocean waves, and you’re being tossed and thrown around trying to get above water for some air. With comprehensive DBT and trauma focused therapy, I can help you navigate overwhelming emotion so you can feel safe and grounded, resolve conflict in relationships so you can feel connected and secure, and connect to yourself so you can feel powerful & purposeful.

I use DBT and MBT to help with personality functioning and other interpersonal issues.

I specialize in helping identify patterns of coping and behavior that may no longer serve you well. Through compassionate curiosity, I can help you find healthier, happier ways of relating to yourself and others.

Managing personality disorders can be really overwhelming. It is overwhelming for the individual as well as family and loved ones. I assist clients in managing personality disorders, primarily borderline personality disorder (BPD), through an intervention known as DBT, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. We work together and learn skills like mindfulness, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness and distress tolerance.

Experiencing chronic emotional distress and dysregulation can leave us feeling isolated and alone, and like we can't get connected to ourselves. I have worked extensively with people diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and Borderline Traits for years with empathic validation and effective Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Many of my clients utilize DBT skills to soothe distress, regulate emotions, and truly build a life that's worth living.

Intensively trained Dialectical Behavioral Therapy counselor. DBT has been shown to help with Anxious-Depression.

I am formally trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) through Behavioral Tech - Marsha Linehan's training foundation. I have both residential and outpatient experience treating symptoms common in personality disorders such as suicidality, self-harm, and interpersonal struggles.

At their root, I view any personality disorder as behaviors that worked for us at one time but don’t work anymore. Employing a combination of methods, including Functional Analytic Psychotherapy and Emotion-Focused Therapy, I enjoy helping others recognize their inherent value.

I received supervision twice per week and engaged in outside studies on my own regarding personality disorders.
