Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Richmond, VA

Let's talk about it. Sometimes the hardest part about therapy is getting started. Finding the right provider, learning to accept help, and showing up to that intake session can be life changing.

Together, we can work to reach your goals and improve your day to day living. It can also provide you with a safe and supportive space in which you can feel heard, validated, and understood.

I typically work with people who have experienced some type of traumatic event or events, either recently or from childhood.

One of my favorite things to do is understand how people work. This drives my treatment approach to include deep exploration of symptoms to get to the root of maladaptive patterns. I believe long term change stems from understanding and processing how one’s past is currently influencing one’s present. This includes a focus on using self-reflection and self-examination to explore and change the psychological root of emotional distress.
