Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Hidden Hills, CA

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, my goal is to help individuals improve their relationships with loved ones, uncover their strengths, and acquire positive coping skills to lead a healthy life. During my 18 years as a Therapist, I have worked with families, couples, and individuals with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems. I also helped many people who have experienced trauma such as sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. In addition, I had the opportunity to work with Adult Children of parents with personality disorders, particularly Borderline and Narcissistic.

We have found to look at life differently for many reasons and we have learned life is in the here and the now. Helping clients discover their healthier self will promote less stress, anxiety, and depression in their lives. When working clients, it’s important for me to get to know who the client is, where they have been what their goals are. When one learns to set obtainable goals it’s not so overwhelming and it helps the client to feel empowered thus giving the client a sense of accomplishment instead of setting themselves up for disappointment. The importance of this is to help the client to obtain tools use in their lives.

I use an empathic, nonjudgemental, and strengths-based approach to therapy with my clients. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, personality disorders, trauma, self-harm, disordered eating behaviors, and relationship difficulties. My approach is collaborative, so that we can work together to reach your goals that are most important to you. Our individual sessions may include homework to increase practice with skills/strategies.

My clientele are children, adolescents, and adult struggling with adjusting to life stressors, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and personality disorder traits. Currently my practice is primarily working with females but I work with both females and males. I have worked in the field of psychology for over 10 years. I also provide Quotient ADHD testing.

I am not currently taking new clients. I believe that a successful therapeutic relationship is based on careful listening and honest feedback. I help clients cultivate authentic relationships in their lives; both with themselves and others. I work collaboratively with clients to identify and achieve their goals by meeting them where they are in the present moment.

Many of us are often waiting to feel good....waiting for the weekend, waiting for a better job, waiting for a relationship, waiting for a problem to resolve itself.

On this journey, you will develop more of a capacity to experience joy, improve your relationships and above all, change the relationship you have with yourself.

All roads lead to Rome! It doesn't matter where we jump in, if you’re ready, we’ll get there. My approach is based on Attachment Theory & CPTSD: the idea that much of our conflict & distress stems from old wounds & unmet needs. De-coding this blueprint provides a path toward healing & fulfillment. Relational issues, estrangement, Teen/YA issues & living life “on purpose” are all areas I am passionate about. I incorporate trauma-informed, therapeutic modalities such as IFS with a Buddhist Psychology perspective. I am a rabid ally and advocate for equality and trained in psychedelic-assisted therapy (currently Ketamine only).

Many people have discovered the benefits of psychotherapy. Some may be dealing with life transitions, others with depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders, while some just want a safe place to express their thoughts and work through their feelings.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with specialized experience treating clients with eating disorders and disordered eating, as well as the LGBTQ+ community, relationship difficulties, and acute, complex, and intergenerational trauma. I am a firm believer that no mental health concern or symptom is illogical or unreasonable, and that all types of emotional pain can be understood by looking deeper at the greater context of life experiences. I will never pathologize your pain.

You or a family member are not as happy as you wish. You feel alone, sad, anxious, depressed, frustrated - you may know why, but you are stuck and aren't sure how to change it. I can help you. We will work together to eradicate your negative feelings and create more adaptive ways to address your challenges. Through interactive, safe, regular meetings, we will access your deeper feelings, work through them and find more positive ways to deal with the challenges that come your way.

Welcome! I work with clients that are seeking contentment, authenticity, and connection in their daily life. In our work together, you can expect a balance of exploring the past and present. Understanding the past can reveal invisible patterns, reduce shame, and connect you to your truest self. Empowered with this knowledge, we will explore your values in the present and develop skills that help you both cope with life as it is and create life as you want it to be. I utilize attachment and systems-based orientations in conjunction with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients heal and experience their lives more fully.

I am passionate about helping my clients achieve their goals, whether it is to save their marriage; free them from destructive relationships; grow insight into their life's meaning, purpose and life's work; or find joy and happiness in a well developed relationship with God and others.

I am accepting new patients via Telemedicine as the need for mental health support is stronger today than ever. My style is grounded in empathy, listening, and compassion, with a dash of humor central to building a trusting alliance. I work with adults and couples; my doctoral project focused on treating violent couples in highly conflictual relationships in a conjoint setting examining the role of aggression and masochism in relationships. Another area of my expertise is working with individuals and families who are struggling with addiction and addiction-related predicaments.
